Legislative Priorities Report 1-3-2023

Happy New Year! The 88th Legislative Session, perhaps the most
important in Texas history, begins next week. We are at a
crossroads with the survival of our State, our Nation, and our
way of life at stake if we do not close our border, secure our
elections, and protect children.

Thousands of illegal aliens pour over our borders daily, fueling
sex trafficking and Fentanyl deaths. Harris County undermined
confidence in our elections by recording more ballots than
voters, and disenfranchised voters by failing to provide enough
ballots to Republican voting locations. Meanwhile, the Texas
Supreme Court this week allowed a mother to flee to California
where she intends to begin the process of chemically castrating
her son against the wishes of his father. We cannot allow this
injustice to continue in our beloved Texas.

Our legislators must step up and be heroes. To encourage them in
this effort, Republicans are planning to show up at the state
Capitol next Thursday, January 12, 2022, when we anticipate the
House will debate and pass rules. Our RPT priority, Ban Democrat
Chairs, is a request for a rule change to prevent the Republican
Speaker from appointing Democrats to House Committee
chairmanships, where these Democrats will have the power to
decide which bills are heard and voted upon.

Texas Republicans indicated loud and clear what they expect on
this issue. In the March primary election, 81.24% of Republican
primary voters (close to two million people) agreed that
Republicans should not appoint Democrats to chair legislative
committees. At the RPT state convention in June, this priority
was ranked 5th most important of the top 8 Legislative priorities
by thousands of convention delegates.

Republicans have held legislative majorities for 20 years and
every statewide office for nearly 30. It is up to us to deliver
on the campaign promises that got us there and fight for our
principles as hard as Democrats fight for theirs when they are in
the majority. We must insist on strong legislation that makes a
noticeable improvement in the everyday lives of Texans. We
cannot negotiate with a party that supports open borders,
unverified voters, inaccurate voting machines, and destruction of
the lives of our children. We need boldness-not compromise-in
order to right the sinking ship.

Buses will be chartered to the capitol from all over the state,
along with car caravans and individuals who wish to support our
Republican legislature in doing what is right. If you want a
ride on a bus and live in East Texas, please email
[email protected]. In the Dallas area, contact
[email protected]; in Collin county email
[email protected]. In the central hill country, Comal
county, please email [email protected]. For Wise county and
Fort Worth, go to NTXconservatives.com and scroll down to "Bus
Trips." For Harris county bus info please email:
[email protected]. Your county Republican party office should
have information on local groups going. So please contact them
for more information.

We will fill the House gallery on January 12 to watch the rules
debate and visit our Representatives' offices to remind them of
why we sent them to Austin. We will advocate for no Democrat
chairs, secure borders, accurate elections, and protection of our
youngest citizens.

Our next big effort at the State Capitol will be on Election
Integrity. Please save the date for January 24, as there will be
an event on securing our elections, and legislation needed for
accuracy, transparency, and accountability.

Look forward to seeing you soon in Austin!


For God and Texas,
