I appreciate my friend President Donald Trump—He stood tall for me and gave me his full support early on during my run for Texas Land Commissioner.
Loyalty is a quality I cherish. I’m happy to stand with him and pledge my support for his run for the White House.

This week our Oil Spill Team removed a fiberglass recreational vessel from the Neches River in Orange County. Vessel debris detracts from the aesthetics of #Texas coastal waterways and threatens the environment with potential releases of oil and hazardous substances.

GREAT NEWS for Texans: a federal judge has halted the Biden Administration’s “Waters of the US” rule.
This rule is not only burdensome for property owners — it’s downright unconstitutional. I’ll always stand up against federal overreach!
Quote Tweet
Overnight, a federal judge in Texas a preliminary injunction pending further ruling on the fed’s new “WOTUS”rule within the two states that challenged it: Texas and Idaho.
Other groups asked for a nationwide injunction, which was denied.
