Section 301.065 of the Texas Property Code requires the state commission to publish at least one written report per year recommending legislative or other action to advance fair housing goals, and to conduct studies examining the nature and extent of discriminatory housing practices across Texas. The provision is oriented toward ongoing government research and policy development rather than regulating individual transactions. It establishes a continuous duty of the commission to monitor and respond to housing discrimination trends statewide.
