Congressman Morgan Luttrell, who represents Texas’s 8th district, posted a series of updates on his Twitter account between January 12 and January 14, 2026, addressing topics ranging from local gas prices to human trafficking and veterans’ affairs.

San Jacinto County $2.29/gallon
Harris County $2.37/gallon
Montgomery County $2.37/gallon
Walker County $2.38/gallon
Polk County $2.39/gallon
What is the lowest you’ve seen?”
The following day, Luttrell addressed concerns about human trafficking in proximity to his home county: “I live one county away from the worst county in the country for human trafficking.
We ignore crises like this until they land on our doorstep — and by then, it’s too late.
Enough is enough.” This statement highlights ongoing challenges with human trafficking in Texas counties.
On January 14, Luttrell discussed his work as chair of a subcommittee hearing focused on veterans’ disability ratings: “Just chaired a subcommittee hearing on the VA’s disability rating schedule.
Here’s what we learned:”
