The Bohac Family

Born and raised in Houston’s Oak Forest community, Dwayne Bohac was elected in November 2002 to represent the people of District 138 in the Texas House of Representatives. His district is generally comprised of the Bear Creek, Spring Branch, Oak Forest and Garden Oaks communities of west and northwest Houston.

Representative Bohac serves as a member of the prestigious Business & Industry Committee, as well as the Vice Chairman of the Elections Committee and Vice Chairman of the Local and Consent Calendar. He serves as a member of the House Redistricting Committee as well.

Dwayne has been recognized on a number of occasions for his hard work in the Texas legislature. He was awarded “Taxpayers Best Friend” by the Texas House Republican Caucus, and he was recognized by the police chiefs of the six largest cities in Texas for his determination to pass common sense criminal justice legislation which supports local law enforcement.

His legislative accomplishments include the Graffiti Accountability Act of 2007, restoring the Pledge of Allegiance in public school classrooms, strengthening common nuisance laws to crack down on illegal activities such as gambling, prostitution, illegal drug use and gang activity, and setting up a program to reimburse hardworking teachers who spend their own money to provide for our children in the classroom.

Dwayne is also a co-founder of the Texas House of Representative’s “Air Quality Caucus,” a bi-partisan group committed to finding clean air solutions for our community and state.

A graduate of Scarborough High School, which he now has the privilege to represent, Bohac earned Bachelors Degrees in Political Science and Marketing from Texas A&M University. After graduating with honors, Bohac returned home to start the small retail business he operates today.

Dwayne and his wife, Dawn, are both active members of Second Baptist Church and live in Spring Branch area of Houston. They have four children, Foster, Faith, Sterling and Reagan.
