Currently, Representative Metcalf serves as Chairman of the Culture, Recreation and Tourism Committee where he champions the preservation of Texas’ proud heritage, natural beauty, and time-honored values. A sixth-generation Texan and lifelong resident of Montgomery County, Representative Metcalf brings a deep personal connection to the work of the committee—one that reflects his community’s rich outdoor and cultural assets, including Lake Conroe, the Sam Houston National Forest, the W.G. Jones State Forest, and world-class fishing and recreation opportunities. His leadership extends beyond his district to the entire state, where he fights to protect and promote Texas’ historical landmarks and cultural legacy. During the 89th Legislative Session, Representative Metcalf authored and passed legislation to preserve the Alamo—one of our state’s most sacred historic sites—by establishing the Alamo Commission. He also secured the permanent public display of three of Texas’ most treasured documents: the Texas Declaration of Independence, the Texas Constitution, and Colonel William B. Travis’ legendary “Victory or Death” letter from the Alamo. These foundational records will no longer be hidden away, but proudly displayed where they rightfully belong. With this legislation, all Texans will be able to view these important documents.
As Chair, he also oversees agencies including the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, the Texas Historical Commission, and the Texas State Library and Archives Commission, among others. These agencies are responsible for protecting Texas’s natural resources and recreational activities—such as hunting and fishing—as well as preserving the state’s history, culture, and arts. True to his roots, Representative Metcalf leads with conviction and a steadfast commitment to protecting the values, history, and traditions that make Texas great.

Metcalf is active in the development of the north Montgomery County area as well, through involvement in the real estate market where he manages investments in Montgomery County and the surrounding areas.

Legislative Record
Throughout his legislative career, Representative Metcalf has worked tirelessly to advocate for Montgomery County’s conservative values such as strengthening our presence on the border, fighting for taxpayers, being unapologetically pro-life, defending the second amendment and ensuring Texas children receive the best education possible. As a businessman himself, he has been a reliable advocate for small businesses, fighting to stop over-regulation and voting to eliminate unneeded bureaucratic obstacles for those trying to grow a business. Representative Metcalf was entrusted by the Texas House to serve as the lead negotiator and architect of the largest tax cut in history during the 88th Legislature, passing $18 billion dollars in tax relief, increasing the homestead exemption from $40,000 to $100,000, bringing accountability to appraisal district boards, and implementing an appraisal cap on commercial property—which did not exist before Metcalf’s legislation. He stands for religious liberty and family values, and has worked to bring transparency and accountability to our local groundwater district board by authoring and passing legislation to let voters decide who manages their water.
