Legendary Actor Dennis Quaid and Lt. Governor Dan Patrick to Speak on Panel in Nacogdoches on April 10
2026-04-10 07:30 - 10:00 | Downtown Nacogdoches, 202 E Pilar St, Rm 218, Nacogdoches, TX, 75961, United States
Actor Dennis Quaid and Lt. Governor Dan Patrick will be speaking at the Lone Star Legislative Summit presented by Citizens 1st Bank on Friday, April 10, at 7:30 a.m. in Nacogdoches. This marquee event will offer an unprecedented opportunity to peek behind the curtains of one of Texas’s most impactful industries, the film industry, and its economic impact on not only East Texas, but the entire state. Dennis Quaid said, “I’m looking forward to joining Lt. Governor Patrick for this important discussion on Texas’s future and the effort to make the Lone Star State the country’s film capital. From here in East Texas to the Rio Grande Valley, Panhandle, and everywhere in between, Texas has unlimited potential and countless opportunities for growth. I look forward to discussing those opportunities at the Lone Star Legislative Summit.”

“One of my top priorities is ensuring Texas remains the best state in the union by creating jobs and driving economic growth. Texas is becoming a film industry leader. Fort Worth is now a major production hub, and in Midlothian, ‘The Chosen’ turned Texas into Ancient Israel, creating 1,000 jobs in the process.”— Lt. Governor Dan Patrick

Texas is becoming a film industry leader. Fort Worth is now a major production hub, and in Midlothian, ‘The Chosen’ turned Texas into Ancient Israel, creating 1,000 jobs in the process. On April 10th at Lone Star Legislative Summit, I’ll be interviewing legendary Texas actor Dennis Quaid on his career and the Texas film industry.” The morning panel between Dennis Quaid and Lt. Governor Patrick is open to members of the media. Along with the breakfast event sponsored by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, panel discussions and a luncheon with U.S. Congressman Pete Sessions and U.S. Congressman Nathaniel Moran are in the lineup of activities during the rest of the summit. Panel discussions are: • Media Madness. Lone Star Lens: Texas Politics Unfiltered. • Rooted in Education. Rising in Workforce. • The Next Drop: Planning for Texas’ Water Future. The Nacogdoches County Chamber of Commerce has held the biennial two-day summit starting in 2006 with the purpose of connecting lawmakers with community leaders so that real issues affecting East Texas can be discussed in an open, non-partisan forum. The goal is simple, set the stage for state and federal representation to have access as much information as possible to support the making of good law.
