The composition of the port commission of the Port of Corpus Christi Authority of Nueces County, Texas

Texas House Bill 2120, introduced in 2025 by Representative J.M. Lozano, aims to change the makeup of the Port Commission governing the Port of Corpus Christi Authority in Nueces County. The bill proposes adjustments to how commissioners are appointed or the number of commissioners, with the goal of better representing the interests of the communities and stakeholders involved in the port's operations.
