Good morning,

If the Democrats are counting on the Antifa mob scaring citizens into submission, one GOP congressional candidate thinks it will backfire.

Here is today's Texas Minute.

The Supreme Court of Texas has halted – at least temporarily – the scheme of Harris County Democrats to send mail-in ballot applications to every voter, with the potential to allow fraud and other illegal activities. Brandon Waltens reports [[link removed]] the Supreme Court order was issued in response to a lawsuit filed by the Harris County Republican Party, Dr. Stephen Hotze, and Sharon Hemphill earlier this week, asking the state’s highest civil court to block the massive mail-ballot scheme.

“We are thankful that the Texas Supreme Court is preventing a rogue clerk from violating the Texas Election Code,” Jared Woodfill, the group’s attorney, told Texas Scorecard.

A separate lawsuit was also filed in a state court on Monday by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

Opponents to Harris County’s scheme argue that sending applications to all registered voters could cause voters to provide false information on the form, confuse voters about their ability to vote by mail, and impede the ability of those who are able to vote by mail by clogging up the infrastructure with applications from those who do not qualify. In an interview [[link removed]] with Texas Scorecard, Rear Admiral Ronny Jackson (ret.) said he and his wife were leaving the White House grounds shortly after the president’s acceptance speech last week when they were confronted by protesters. Now the GOP candidate for Texas’ 13th District, Jackson witnessed a person who was screaming profanities at convention attendees begin to confront an older man who was leaving the convention. Worried the situation could escalate at that point, Jackson stepped in to defend the convention attendee. The Antifa-affiliated protester was chased away by police. Thomas Warren has the details [[link removed]].

While the situation ended without violence, Jackson expressed concerns about what could have happened if police officers had not been present.

“People are scared to death... I think they are going to get out and vote for President Trump to restore law and order in this country.” – Ronny Jackson

Jackson will appear on the ballot with Democrat Gus Trujillo and Libertarian Jack B. Westbrook to replace retiring U.S. Rep. Mac Thornberry (R–Clarendon). A North Texas school district is charging parents high prices for public information about a controversial plan that will affect their children. Robert Montoya has all the details [[link removed]].

Carroll Independent School District has been set to adopt their controversial “Cultural Competence Action Plan,” which would pit students against each other by tracking those accused of committing “microaggressions” and acts of alleged discrimination. It would also establish an LGBTQ+ student focus group for grades 9-12.

Parents in Carroll Independent School District want documents related to the development of the plan, but are being charged up to $900. One parent was told they could not even review the documents without making a deposit first.
