Welcome to Episode #37 of Bills & Business. In this episode, Laura Carr, Co-Founder of USLege, sits down with Glen Pugh from the Texas General Land Office (GLO), a leader in government relations helping guide one of the state’s most influential agencies.

The discussion highlights the GLO’s vital responsibilities, from managing state lands and leasing energy rights to coordinating disaster recovery after hurricanes and floods. Glen explains how the agency supports the Permanent School Fund, advances coastal protection, and balances economic growth with environmental stewardship.

Laura and Glen also explore how technology, transparency, and legislative coordination are modernizing government operations. Glen reflects on his personal motivations for public service and offers practical advice for Texas businesses seeking to engage with the GLO through procurement, land use, or grant opportunities.
