## Session
### House speaker election

On September 10, 2024, prior to the 2024 election, 48 house Republicans who opposed Phelan unanimously chose David Cook of the 96th district as the reformer-endorsed candidate in the next speakership election. Phelan was expected to seek support from Democrats in order to remain as speaker, but ultimately opted out of seeking a third term as speaker. Dustin Burrows of the 83rd district, an ally of Phelan, is seeking the speakership relying on the support of Democratic representatives and Republicans who defeated primary challengers. On January 14, 2025, Burrows was elected Texas House Speaker after 49 Democrats joined 36 Republicans to back him in the second round of voting, defeating Cook by a vote of 85 to 55.
