MONAHANS — State Representative Brooks Landgraf (R-Odessa) attended the Ward County Commissioners Court meeting on Monday to discuss the upcoming session of the Texas Legislature.

"I appreciate Judge Holly and the commissioners allowing me the opportunity to answer questions about the upcoming legislative session," Landgraf said.  "I was also glad to provide the court and community with an update on the progress we've made in saving our West Texas DPS driver license offices from the chopping block."

Landgraf, who represents Ward County in the Texas House of Representatives, met with the commissioners court to offer any assistance the city may need from the state.

“To be a good state representative and a good legislator, I need to meet regularly with local officials here in Ward County to learn about the issues they’re facing and to make sure they’re getting the state resources they need to serve our fellow West Texans,” Landgraf added.

Landgraf is attending this and other local government meetings across the Permian Basin to prepare for the next session of the Texas Legislature, which convenes at the Texas Capitol in January 2019.
