A Conversation with Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar

For 10 years, Glenn Hegar has served as the state’s comptroller, a role that includes being treasurer, check writer, tax collector, procurement officer and revenue estimator.
On. Jan. 13, Hegar announced the state’s biennial revenue estimate, which will tell state lawmakers how much they’ll have to spend when they write a new two-year budget in 2025. What are the key takeaways and recommendations from that estimate?
At 4 p.m. Monday, Jan. 13, Texas Tribune Editor-in-Chief Matthew Watkins talks with the comptroller about the biennial revenue estimate, how Texas is enjoying a surplus for the second straight legislative cycle and where the state should consider allocating its extra money.
