The Texas Senate recorded the titles of two bills on first reading and referred them to the State Affairs Committee.

The chamber listed Senate Bill 10 by Senator Parker, described as relating to “an affirmative defense to prosecution for certain victims of trafficking of persons or compelling prostitution,” and Senate Bill 16 by Senator Hughes, described as relating to the operation and administration of and practices and procedures related to proceedings in the judicial branch of state government, including court security, court documents and arrest warrants, document delivery, juvenile boards, constitutional amendment election challenges, record retention, youth diversion, court-ordered mental health services, the powers of the Texas Supreme Court, and jurors.

The titles were read at the request of the presiding officer, and the clerk recorded the bills as on first reading and in reference to the State Affairs Committee. No debate on the bills' merits occurred during the recorded minutes of the reading.

The action places each measure at the committee-referral stage, where committee assignment and any subsequent hearings, amendments or votes will determine whether a bill advances. The transcript does not record committee scheduling, committee members’ positions, or any votes on the measures.
