The Texas Senate's basic business is conducted according to the committee system whereby permanent, general, and special bodies, determined and formed by the rules of the chamber, are appointed to consider bills introduced in the legislature and to advise on their disposition. Minutes, witness lists, attachments, notes, printed materials, and a proclamation of Texas Senate and Joint Committees from 1959-1967, 1972-1979, 1999-2008, bulk 1999-2008, document, in a thorough but summary fashion, the official actions of Senate committees during the 56th through 60th, 62nd through 66th, and 76th through 80th Legislatures.
