Lobbyist Insight

Texas · 2005 – 2023

Lois Kolkhorst

Identified in the Open States roster as Republican, Senate, district 18 · roster lists service 2001 to present.

Named as receiving meals, gifts, travel or entertainment in 51 lobbying expenditure filings, from 38 different organisations or lobbyists.

$1,795 across the 14 items that carry an exact figure. The other 37 are filed as a bracket rather than an amount, so the real total is higher and cannot be calculated from what the state publishes.

What this is and is not. These are items that lobbyists and their employers reported spending, naming this person as a recipient. The filings themselves never say whether a named person is a legislator, a member of staff, a family member or a guest at the same event — Texas codes every one of them "INDIVIDUAL" — so any role shown above comes from matching the name against a published roster, and its absence means only that no match was found. Nothing here is a payment to them.
