Good morning,

Here is the Texas Minute for Monday, October 10, 2022.

– Brandon Waltens

With the state legislative session convening in just a few months, the Republican Party of Texas is telling Republicans in the state legislature they expect their legislative priorities to come first.

At the Republican Party of Texas (RPT) Convention in June, more than 5,000 delegates from across the state gathered to determine the party priorities and platform for the next two years.

These eight legislative priorities are meant to serve as directives for lawmakers on what party members would like to see accomplished during the 140-day legislative session beginning in January.

The caucuses are made up of Republican lawmakers inside the chamber.

The resolution [[link removed]], passed by a vote of 58-4 by the State Republican Executive Committee, also calls on the caucuses to “adopt and publish” their priorities ahead of the session.

SREC members Jim Pikl, Jan Duncan, Fernando Trevino, and Gail Stanart voted against the resolution.

“This is a very simple resolution that asks that Republican legislators adopt legislative priorities and make those priorities public,” Texas GOP Chairman Matt Rinaldi told Texas Scorecard.

The Legislature is slated to convene on January 10, 2023.
