State Representative Dan Huberty was sworn-in to serve District 127 in the Texas House of Representatives on January 11, 2011. Within weeks of his arrival, he was appointed to two very highly-respected committees: Public Education and State Affairs. Huberty’s strong efforts as a freshman were also recognized by those outside the Capitol as he was named “Rookie of the Year” by Texas Monthly Magazine. By the conclusion of the 82nd Legislative Session, he had passed five pieces of legislation, ranging from regulating the illegal sand-mining along the San Jacinto River to duplicative reporting for special education teachers.

During the first Special Session in 2013, Huberty was also appointed to serve on the Select Committee on Redistricting. Alongside 17 other House members, he worked to address the constitutional questions surrounding the redistricting maps drawn by the legislature.

Huberty was also appointed to serve of the Select Committee on Transportation Funding, Expenditures & Finance. He and eight other members met multiple times throughout the Interim to hear testimony from on a variety of issues like the reliability of current funding sources, the use of debt in transportation financing and use of the state highway fund for other agencies.

Dan and his wife, Janet, have been married nearly 20 years. They live in Walden on Lake Houston with their three children, Brianna, Ryan and Dylan, and yellow lab, Rocky. They are active parishioners at Saint Martha’s Catholic Church.
