State Rep. Jim Murphy, R-Houston, announced Thursday he will not seek another term to the Texas House.

Murphy, who represented House District 133 from 2007-09 and again since 2011, chairs the House GOP Caucus and the House Higher Education Committee.

He announced in June his intention to seek reelection, saying in a news release that while the Legislature "accomplished a lot" during the regular legislative session that ended in May, "unfinished business still remains."

On Thursday, though, Murphy said he is "just looking forward to life's next great opportunity" and that it had been "an honor and privilege" to serve the constituents of HD-133.
