Abbott Provides Update on State’s Business Climate

Gov. Greg Abbott recently delivered remarks at the Houston Region Business Coalition (HRBC) monthly meeting, where he gave an update on the state’s business climate. The governor also highlighted the economic achievements of the 87th Legislative Session and thanked the members of HRBC for amplifying the voice of businesses in the Houston region.

“We have worked hard to ensure Texas remains a top economic destination and strengthened that reputation by passing laws during the 87th Legislative Session that made our business climate even better,” said Abbott. “We secured COVID-19 liability protections for businesses, passed liability reform for truckers, ensured a balanced budget without raising taxes, replenished the unemployment compensation fund and more. These achievements would not have been possible without the members of HRBC who were engaged on the most important issues throughout session. You are the entrepreneurs and the innovators who make Texas exceptional, and I look forward to our continued work together to keep Texas the best state for business.”
