Misty-Eyed Janek Makes It Official
State Sen. Kyle Janek, R-Houston, formally announced his resignation this afternoon, after serving in the Senate since 2003, and in the Texas House since 1995. He brought his father, his brother, his wife and his three young sons along for the announcement, because he says he is stepping down so he can spend more time with them.
"There's a time for everything, and this is the time. A friend of mine called me and said, "What, are you in trouble?" And I said yeah, they caught me stealing. I stole some time from Shannon and the boys and I'm gonna pay it back to them," he said.
He didn't shut the door on the possibility of running again when his kids get older.
