I’m out of the loop here, how will this affect Texas?

Burrows (R-Lubbock) emerged as the "establishment" candidate, favored by representatives who have long served in the Legislature and are willing to work with their Democratic counterparts—a notable difference from Cook, who supported not appointing any Democrats to positions of power within the legislative body's committees.
The texas state house has 83 Republicans and 67 Democrats for reference

It kept the puppet hand picked by Christian nationalists Farris Wilks and Tim Dunn out of the Texas House. Theyve already spent over $100m buying the Texas Senate, our Gov, lieutenant governor, AG, and most of the higher state offices.
They are the ones behind abortion bans, banning books in schools, school vouchers, etc. they want to create a Texas in their image
