Every Texan is represented by two United States Senators, one member of the United States House of Representatives, one State Senator, one State Representative, and a member of the State Board of Education. It is very important to contact the people who directly represent you but usually a waste of time to call those who represent others. To find out who represents you in the other offices and their addresses and phone numbers, use the Texas Legislative Council's site . The most common ways of contacting people who represent you are by writing a letter, calling on the phone, sending a fax, sending email, and personal visits. The most effective way is a personal visit, but when that is not practical writing a letter is a very effective approach.
Email is probably the least effective.
If you have to, attach supporting information. Keep it simple. Make your request reasonable and possible to accomplish. If you are contacting them about a specific piece of legislation, tell them the bill number, the title or what the bill is about, and, if you know it, where the bill is in the legislative process. Always thank the official or staff person for their consideration of your request.
