US HR1101

H. Res. 1101 censures Representative Tony Gonzales of Texas for alleged inappropriate conduct with a member of his congressional staff, including an alleged affair and solicitation of sexually explicit material

Text messages allegedly published by multiple news outlets show Representative Gonzales requesting the staff member "send [him] a sexy pic," with communications continuing after the staff member indicated the interaction went "too far"

The resolution cites violations of House Rule XXIII (Code of Official Conduct), which requires Members to "behave at all times in a manner that shall reflect creditably on the House"

Representative Gonzales would be required to present himself in the well of the House for the formal pronouncement of censure

The resolution would be entered into the Journal of the House as a permanent record of condemnation for conduct that brought discredit upon the institution
