This Week's Conservative Wins in Texas
📅 Week of February 3
The Texas Legislature continues to deliver on conservative priorities, with major progress on border security, property tax relief, and school choice.
With D.C. and Austin Democrats trying to obstruct, Texas leaders are stepping up—putting parents back in charge of their children's education, securing our border with decisive action, and pushing back against radical policies in our schools and courts. These fights aren't over, but conservative lawmakers are making real progress to defend Texas values and freedoms.
From the Governor's State of the State address to strengthening immigration enforcement to advancing tax cuts for Texas homeowners, here's what you need to know this week.
🗣️ Governor Abbott’s State of the State: A Conservative Vision for Texas
Texas National Guard troops and state law enforcement have been granted federal authority to enforce immigration laws, allowing them to arrest and remove illegal immigrants in El Paso and other border regions. This move, approved by CBP, marks a major step in Texas’ fight to secure the border.
The Texas Senate has officially passed school choice legislation, sending the bill to the House for approval. If enacted, this policy will give parents more control over their children’s education, allowing them to choose the best school for their family—public, private, or charter. Governor Abbott has made school choice a top priority, and Texas is one step closer to making it a reality.
The Texas House is advancing property tax relief and pushing back against rising property tax assessments with new legislation to relieve homeowners from increasing appraisal values. With property taxes an urgent issue for Texas families, the conservatives are working to ensure meaningful cuts that put money back in taxpayers’ pockets.
For the third time, Governor Abbott is fighting to pass a constitutional amendment on bail reform, ensuring violent criminals stay behind bars instead of being released by activist liberal judges. Conservatives have made it clear that public safety comes before politics.
