The new leader of the lower chamber finally announced committee assignments, formalizing a new order in the lower chamber.

Leaning heavily on trusted lieutenants who helped him survive his bruising rise to leadership, Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows on Thursday appointed a slate of 30 Republican committee chairs to drive his agenda and defend GOP-dominated House policy positions.

Republicans chair all committees, as promised, while Democrats will lead half of the newly created subcommittees.
