[See the program.](https://festival-platform.texastribune.org/agenda?promo=site-story-footer&tr=true) [mission](/about): creating a more engaged and informed Texas with every story we cover, every event we convene and every newsletter we send. [Texas Tribune Festival](https://festival-platform.texastribune.org/?promo=site-story-footer&tr=true), happening Sept. [threatened](https://www.texastribune.org/2022/08/23/texas-harris-county-constables-budget-hegar/) to choke off Harris County’s revenue streams as he accused officials of cutting funding for two constables’ offices.

We aren’t able to closely cover all 150 races in the Texas House, 31 in the Texas Senate or 38 for the Texas delegation in the next U.S. We do not merely recount what politicians say, but focus on what they do (or fail to do) for the Texans they represent. [We want to hear from readers:](https://www.texastribune.org/2022/08/01/texas-2022-elections-midterms/)What do you better want to understand about the election process in Texas? We interview voters, election administrators and election law experts so that we can explain the process, barriers to participation and what happens after the vote is over and the counting begins.
