The House Parliamentarian who resigned under the tenure of Speaker
Tom Craddick in the closing days of the 80th Regular Legislative Session is now going to be the Chief of Staff for Speaker
Joe Straus.
Denise Davis, whom Straus invited back to serve as parliamentarian when his tenure began in 2009, has also worked for two Lt. Governors, the Texas Supreme Court and the Texas Legislative Council.
Said Straus:
Working with Denise for the last year, I value her institutional knowledge, her legal skills, and her dedication to public service. She knows the House well, has sound judgment, and is respected by both Members and her colleagues.
Davis will replace former Rep.
Clyde Alexander, who will continue to serve as chief advisor to Straus.
