This Week's Conservative Wins in Texas
📅 Week of April 28
Conservatives at the Texas Capitol are on the move and it is paying off.
From working to strengthen our bail system and passing 40 major priority bills in the Senate to securing the calendar in the House and watching Democrats beg for Beto to run again, Texas Republicans are racking up wins that will shape the future of our state.
While Democrat-run states stumble, Texas is proving that real leadership works. Public safety, school choice, regulatory reform, job creation, the results speak for themselves.
Let’s break down another week of major Texas First victories.
The Main Story – Taking Back Public Safety
For too long, liberal bail policies have let violent criminals roam free and terrorize our communities. Not in Texas.
This week, Governor Abbott and Republican legislators doubled down on the need to fix our broken bail system and stop judges from releasing dangerous offenders.
As Abbott said during a press conference in Houston:
"Too many judges grant repeat offenders two, three, even 16 chances that they do not deserve."
While liberals keep siding with criminals, Texas Republicans are putting victims and families first.
Stronger bail laws are on the way, and they can’t come soon enough.
President Donald Trump threw his support behind Texas House Republicans, including Speaker Dustin Burrows, for passing school choice legislation. It’s the largest day-one school choice effort in American history, and Texas is leading the way.
Reports say Beto O’Rourke is considering yet another statewide run. After failing in his bid for Senate, the White House, and Texas Governor, we say: go for it. Texans rejected his radical agenda every time — and they will again. Please, Beto, run again!
With just weeks left in the legislative session, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick announced the Senate has already passed 40 Republican priority bills. From school choice to tax relief to border security, Senate conservatives are delivering.
Local governments in Texas have quietly utilized loopholes to award massive tax breaks and public dollars to private businesses, often with minimal oversight and deals lasting as long as 100 years. Republican lawmakers are fighting back to crack down on abuse, add new transparency rules, cap the deals, and stop sweetheart giveaways. A win for taxpayers and small businesses alike.
📊By the Numbers – What You Need to Know
- 📉 0 — That’s how much sympathy Texans have left for violent criminals. Bail reform is a top issue.
- ⚡️ 40 — The number of Senate Republican priority bills passed already this session.

- 🚪 3 — The number of statewide and national losses Beto O'Rourke has suffered so far (but maybe he wants another).
🎙️ Quote of the Week
"Since 2019, in the greater Houston area alone, there are over 200 cases of dangerous criminals being let out on low-cash or no-cash bonds only for them to assault or kill another innocent Texan. This is not a right versus left issue. This is a public safety issue." — Governor Greg Abbott
