The Texas House has created the Delivery of Government Efficiency (Texas DOGE) Committee, chaired by Rep. Giovanni Capriglione, to reduce government size and scope, eliminate inefficiencies, and ensure accountability and efficiency in public education and property tax relief.

====================

AUSTIN (Nexstar) — As Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (Federal DOGE) continues to make headlines, the Texas House of Representatives created its own Delivery of Government Efficiency (Texas DOGE) Committee with similar goals in mind.

Unlike the Federal DOGE, which is defined as a “Temporary Service Organization” in the executive order creating it, Texas DOGE is a committee consisting of 13 representatives, eight Republicans and five Democrats.

The Texas DOGE committee will be chaired by House Rep. Giovanni Capriglione, R – Southlake, who’s served in the Texas House since 2013. The day after House Committee assignments were posted, Capriglione posted on his X account a meme referencing a quote from the movie “Dodgeball.”

“The 5 D’s of Doge: doge, discover, disrupt, deliver, doge. Members of the Texas House Committee on Delivery of Government Efficiency are already working hard and making plans to deliver!” Capriglione wrote.
