Flower Mound Texas Real Estate Not a Priority in Legislature

North Texas Real Estate isn't a key issue in the 81st Texas Legislature.

Texas Senator Jane Nelson's main concern with the Texas Legislature's reconvening today will be transportation, which she lists along with health and education as being her priorities.

She says that the state's budget is in the black, better than many others, but that spending will need to be controlled and limited to maintain it.

Nelson said that transportation was a key issue, and has to be put as the top priority.

“In this area, transportation is a key issue,” she said. “This is not only a quality-of-life issue for our area, but transportation impacts our economy, air quality, the flow of goods and services, and the ability of public safety personnel to respond in an emergency. We need to make sure our transportation needs are met.”

State Representative Tan Parker, also of Flower Mound, says keeping the budget in the black will be his main objective as well, and doubts that school budgets will see many changes. He feels that reducing property and business taxes are among his priorties, as well as illegal immigration and protecting voters' rights.

Also to be addressed is the state-wide ban on smoking in indoor public and private workplaces, and better healthcare for children, senior citizens, and disabled residents.

North Texas real estate is not as depressed as in many areas of the nation. The town's many amenities makes it an attractive place to live and keeps the housing market strong.
