Senator Cornyn’s offices will remain open during the government shutdown in order to continue assisting the 31 million Texans he represents. During a federal government shutdown, some essential services are not affected, such as emergency personnel, military, federal law enforcement, and specific government healthcare providers. Social Security and Veterans Affairs checks will not be interrupted. However, communications with some federal agencies may be delayed.

Currently, the processing of passports is not affected by the government shutdown. However, tours of federal government buildings, including the U.S. Capitol, are not currently available.
