  • The Working Families Tax Cuts Act is reportedly saving the average Texas family $4,009 this year, with projected wage increases of up to $6,900 per person over the coming years.

• Housing Affordability:

  • Statewide home prices have decreased by 2.4%, with more significant drops in major metros: Austin (8%), Dallas-Fort Worth (4%), and Houston (3%).

• Public Safety:
