Thank you for your interest. The impetus for TexLege lies in the numerous days I’ve spent lost in the underground extension catacombs of the Texas Capitol, trying to find a legislator’s office with no cell signal or internet service on my iPhone.
But now I can guarantee I won’t be lost under there again, and you won’t be either. Among a litany of other features, TexLege has pre-installed maps of the complex, along with a full directory of legislators and their office information, so you won’t need internet service to find your way around.
Exclusive to TexLege – A Roll Call Vote Index measuring legislator partisanship! The Roll Call Index originates from my dissertation, and uses Poole and Rosenthal’s W-NOMINATE dimensional scaling analysis method. In this context, it is not a measure of ideology, nor should it be taken as such. It is a measure of marginalization between legislators in their record voting behavior.
