Censuring Representative Tony Gonzales of Texas.
HRES 1101 is a formal House resolution censuring Representative Tony Gonzales (TX) for unprofessional conduct involving a staff member. It specifically cites his request for explicit photos via text messages and continued communication after the staff member stated the interaction was inappropriate. The resolution states this conduct violated House ethics rules and "brought discredit upon the House." The censure requires Gonzales to appear in the House chamber for the formal pronouncement and is recorded in the House Journal as a condemnation. This is a symbolic procedural action, not a policy change affecting constituents or legislation.
