We will not tolerate unruly behavior in the Texas Senate from witnesses. Last night a witness’s testimony ran over their allotted time, and the Sergeant at Arms was physically blocked from removing their mic; this is unacceptable and will not be permitted. #txlege

For years, I've been explicit in saying that I want to make it easier for Texans to vote & harder to cheat. Voters demand secure elections.
Here’s my statement following the passage of SB 2, Restoring Illegal Voting to a Felony, by : bit.ly/406PHMZ

Critical race theory is a divisive & harmful ideology that has no place in Texas classrooms. I stand with parents & educators across our state who are fighting to keep CRT out of our schools. We must teach our children to love their country, not hate it.

The Texas Senate has unanimously passed three historic property tax bills - SB 3, SB 4, & SB 5.
This is a great testament to Republicans and Democrats working together for all of their constituents.

Since President Biden took office and implemented his open border policies, Texas has stepped into the breach.
We won’t wait on the Federal Government to do its job.
We MUST secure the border.

As Texans, we cannot stand idly by as Biden’s fentanyl crisis ravages our communities.
We need stronger border security and tougher penalties for those who traffic this deadly drug.
Lives depend on it.

Crime continues to rise in Harris County as judges let thugs with prior arrests back on the streets. Thankfully the citizen was not harmed.
One of my priorities is SB 23, which will put a 10-year mandatory sentence stacked on any crime using a gun. fxn.ws/3yiIP3h

At CPAC, Trump supported school choice, ending gender modification, and stopping boys from playing girls' sports - 3 of my priority bills SB8, SB14 & SB15, so they should be good enough for the House. [2/5]

2 North Carolina universities ban discriminatory DEI policies.
In Texas, UT paused it, and Texas Tech, U of Houston and Texas A&M say they’re working to end it.
We will ban it, but TX universities can send a strong message if they do it on their own.

Ohio train disaster toxic waste sent to TX with no notice from Biden’s EPA until after the fact. Like Biden’s CDC & DHS, the EPA can’t be trusted. Biden administration biggest toxic dump in the U.S.

Last week, I announced my top 30 #txlege priorities.
I believe Texans support our priorities because they largely reflect the policies supported by the conservative majority in Texas. Most will pass with bipartisan support.
