What this job is

The lieutenant governor presides over the Texas Senate and is part of the executive branch. The lieutenant governor is elected statewide to a four-year term. The governor and the lieutenant governor do not run as a pair, and they may be from different parties.

Senate rules adopted on January 15, 2025 say that at the start of each regular session the president of the Senate appoints the standing committees. The Senate's own glossary says the lieutenant governor is that president.
