This Week's Conservative Wins in Texas
📅 Week of February 10
The Texas Legislature is delivering big conservative wins, tackling property tax relief, school choice, and bail reform. Meanwhile, Texas is fighting back against federal overreach—demanding reimbursement for border security and ensuring Republicans control every House committee.
With businesses flocking to Texas and lawmakers strengthening parental rights, the state continues to lead on freedom, safety, and economic prosperity. Here’s what you need to know this week.
🏛 The Main Story - Total GOP Control in the Texas House
For the first time in history, every standing committee in the Texas House is led by a Republican. Speaker Dustin Burrows ensured that all 30 committee chairs are conservative lawmakers, securing a pro-business, pro-family, and Texas-first agenda without Democrat interference.
What this means:
✔️ No more Democrat-led roadblocks in key legislative committees
✔️ Faster action on property tax cuts, border security, and education reform
✔️ Conservative leadership ensuring policies reflect Texas values
This historic shift sets the stage for the most conservative session in Texas history.
The Texas Senate advanced a priority property tax bill to increase the homestead exemption by $40,000, easing the burden on homeowners. The bill now heads to the House, bringing Texas families one step closer to real tax relief.
The Texas House has begun hearings on critical bail reform bills aimed at stopping activist judges from releasing dangerous criminals back onto the streets. These measures, strongly backed by Governor Abbott and conservative lawmakers, are designed to protect Texans by keeping repeat offenders behind bars.
Rep. Lacey Hull (HD-138) has introduced bills focused on child welfare, healthcare, and entrepreneurship. Her proposals aim to strengthen Texas families and support small businesses. They include incentives for new businesses, reforms to child protective services, and expanded healthcare access.
With all 30 standing committees now led by Republicans, the Texas House is set to fast-track key conservative legislation on property tax relief, border security, school choice, and bail reform. Speaker Dustin Burrows’ assignments ensure conservative leadership on the issues that matter to Texans.
