The Houston Area Urban League joins our community in mourning the passing of former Texas State Representative Garnet Coleman, a longtime public servant whose decades of leadership left a lasting impact on Houston and communities across Texas.

For more than 30 years, Representative Coleman served the people of Texas House District 147, championing issues that touched the lives of families across our community, including access to health care, mental health services and criminal justice reform.

His life of public service reflected a deep commitment to strengthening communities and expanding opportunity for those too often unheard or underserved. His legacy will live on through the people, policies and communities shaped by his years of service.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to the Coleman family, his loved ones, colleagues and all who had the privilege of knowing and working alongside him.

May his legacy of service continue to inspire generations to come.

Rest in power, Representative Garnet Coleman.
