Secure the Border and Protect Texans:

Specifically, the travesty in Colony Ridge should directly be addressed! 

The human suffering and taxpayer burdens are immoral! Texas shall immediately deny all taxpayer funded services and subsidies to illegal aliens. 

Parental Rights and Educational Freedom (School Choice):

Parents are the primary decision makers for their children in all matters. This authority shall be protected as an inalienable right. This shall include the choice of schooling where the money follows the child. Enforcement and penalty mechanisms when parents’ rights are violated should also be part of a comprehensive parental rights package. The right to education shall be free from any social theories.

Pro-life in Texas:

End abortion by ensuring the right to life and equal protection of the laws to all preborn children from the moment of fertilization, including adopting effective tools to ensure the enforcement of our laws to protect life when district attorneys fail to do so.

Defend Our Gun Rights:

Protect our gun rights against threats, such as red flag laws, federal, state or other restrictions, by strengthening and preserving our inalienable rights under the second amendment to protect our life, liberty and property. 

Ban Gender Modification of Children:

Texas must ban chemical castration, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, genital mutilation, bodily alteration surgery, psychological/social transitioning, and any other methods applied to or performed on children. 

Ban Democrat Chairs:

To ensure all legislative Republican priorities are given a fair opportunity to become law, the Republican-controlled Texas legislature shall adopt a rule that would end the practice of awarding committee chairmanships to Democrats.
