?? Texas is quickly becoming a hub for AI innovation, and we’re honored to be part of that momentum. In today's testimony on the Texas AI Bill (HB 149), Glenn Hamer, CEO of the Texas Association of Business, highlighted USLege as a leading example of how AI can improve legislative efficiency and transparency. "Another prime example is Austin-based USLege.ai: They are using AI to improve legislative efficiency inside and outside government while advancing accessibility and transparency in the legislature." Texas is at a pivotal moment in shaping AI policy. As Glenn emphasized, innovation and responsible regulation can go hand in hand. At USLege, we’re proud to support policymakers, business leaders, and advocates with tools to engage early, often, and effectively. Thank you, Glenn Hamer and TAB, for the recognition and for championing a smart path forward for AI in Texas. #USLege #TexasAI #AIpolicy #TXLege #Innovation #LegTech #ArtificialIntelligence #CivicTech #PublicAffairs #TexasBusiness #GlennHamer #TexasAssociationofBusiness #GovTech #AI

I had a great time filming this with Laura. We’ve known each other for several years now, and I think her questions really helped drive at the heart of how I approach the lobbying aspect of my job. Give it a listen or a watch on YouTube. Dozen are watching it (purposely left out the s). There’s even talk of a sequel! #txlege #governmentaffairs #latinolobbyist
