    USACE Galveston District Commander Col. Richard Pannell testifies during the Texas Legislature’s Joint Interim Committee on Coastal Barrier Systems Public Hearing at the Texas A&M University Galveston Campus to discuss the district’s efforts along the Texas coast to include an update on the Sabine Pass to Galveston Bay Feasibility Study and the Coastal Texas Investigation. Texas State Senator Larry Taylor and State Representative Joe Deshotel, who are co-chairs of the Joint Interim Committee to Study a Coastal Barrier System, hosted the public hearing for the purpose discussing the feasibility and desirability of creating and maintaining a coastal barrier system. The committee encouraged public attendance and public testimony. The committee was created by the Legislature in 2013 and is made up of members from the House Committee on Land and Resource Management, the Senate Committee on Natural Resources and two additional coastal members from each chamber.
