Dear Friend,
IS YOUR SCHOOL DISTRICT FOLLOWING TEXAS’ TEN COMMANDMENTS LAW? NOW

Texas Values, in collaboration with Patriot Mobile, has launched
the TEN COMMANDMENTS COMPLIANCE TRACKER (TCCT), which you can access

giving Texans a public, real-time look at whether their school
districts are in full compliance, partial compliance, or refusing to
comply with the law.

This new tool puts information directly into the hands of parents,
concerned citizens, and community leaders who want to see the Ten
Commandments restored to Texas classrooms.
THE LIVE TRACKER IS A WORK IN PROGRESS. We are continuing to verify
data and update district listings as information is confirmed. Please
check back regularly as we work to provide an accurate picture of
compliance across Texas.

RECENT COURT RULINGS REINFORCE THE NEED FOR COMPLIANCE
Recent Texas state-court rulings underscore that school districts
cannot simply put the law on hold while litigation continues.
On August 7, a Harris County district court denied a request for a
temporary restraining order seeking to block Ten Commandments displays
in Houston, Spring Branch, and Cypress-Fairbanks ISDs. Although that
ruling did not finally resolve the plaintiffs’ claims, the court
declined to grant the requested emergency relief.
Then, on October 1, a Galveston County district court ordered
Galveston ISD to display donated Ten Commandments posters within ten
days. That order applies directly to the defendants in that case, but
it sends a clear message about the legal consequences districts can
face for continued noncompliance.
As we explain in UPDATED LEGAL GUIDANCE

to school districts, pending litigation before the U.S. Supreme Court
does not suspend the law. Districts must accept and display qualifying
donated posters as required by SB 10. Texas Values will continue
working to hold districts accountable and help communities advance
compliance.

UPDATE ON TRANSGENDER TEXT AND MAILER CONTROVERSY
We also want to update you on the growing transgender texts/mailer
controversy across Texas. The Transgender Education Network of Texas
(TENT) has denied sending texts and mailers encouraging students to
navigate and circumvent Texas law - including SB 12 (Parent Bill of
Rights) SB 8 (Texas Women's Privacy Act).
To be clear, we are not disputing TENT's denial or suggesting they
sent the texts or mailers, but there is no doubt that their "BACK TO
SCHOOL TOOLKIT"
[[link removed]
is linked to these text messages, and until recently, that toolkit was
available for free download on TENT's website. That same website has
now been replaced with a single static page disclaiming responsibility
for the messaging mess.
Our concerns focus on the “Back to School Toolkit” itself, which
undermines parental authority and attacks protections for girls’
privacy in school bathrooms and locker rooms. It also risks misleading
students about the potential consequences of violating facility rules.

For example, page 5 of TENT’s toolkit suggests that a student’s
LGBT status can be withheld from parents based on possible “adverse
treatment.” Page 3 suggests that students prohibited from forming a
gender-and-sexuality club consider organizing with the same peers
around a shared hobby or art club instead—raising concerns about
efforts to work around the law’s restrictions.
Parents deserve transparency, girls deserve privacy and safety, and
students deserve accurate information. The absence of an individual
civil fine under the Texas Women’s Privacy Act does not eliminate
consequences that may apply under school disciplinary rules or
applicable local ordinances and policies.
