Today we reflect upon the courage of the men and women who died to protect our freedom and our security at home. Let us take the opportunity to remember those who believed so strongly in this great Nation that they willingly fought and gave of their lives so that generations of Americans could live in a just and free land!
For far too long, Texas Tech University and other higher education institutions have been at a disadvantage created by the inequitable Permanent University Fund (PUF). Today the Texas Legislature sent House Bill 1595 and HJR 3 to the Governor’s desk to end these disparities. This legislation proposes the creation of the Texas University Fund (TUF).
The TUF invests a $3 billion endowment into the important research and development happening across Texas universities including Texas Tech, University of Houston, Texas State, and University of North Texas. Unleashing the research capacities of these institutions of higher education will help continue to keep Texas a global innovator.
This proposal will go before Texas voters on the Constitutional Amendment ballot in the November election. I can’t think of a better way to commemorate Texas Tech’s Centennial than through the creation of the TUF to ensure we continue to serve as a beacon of excellence in higher education and research for generations!

FROM THE desk of Dustin Burrows
A note from Elisabeth
My name is Elisabeth Hause Burrows and I am mother to our three (very active) young boys. Thank you for visiting the Burrows4Texas website, I hope you enjoy learning about what Dustin is up to in the 86th legislative session. Month to month, I’ll offer some informal thoughts on Dustin’s service as a legislator, husband, and most importantly, as the father of our family.
God Bless You,
Elisabeth
