State Representative Dan Huberty has served District 127 in the Texas House of Representatives since he was sworn in on January 11, 2011. He has been re-elected to this seat five times and is serving in his sixth legislative session. Huberty was named to the House Committee on Public Education, as well as the House Committee on Licensing & Administrative Procedures, for the 87th Legislative Session.

In his role as Chairman, Huberty championed several important pieces of legislation relating to public education.
