Texas is coming back stronger than ever because our fiscal foundation is strong and our conservative budgeting principles are sound.

"Government should not require any Texan to show proof of vaccination and reveal private health information just to go about their daily lives," said Gov. Greg Abbott, issuing an Executive Order prohibiting State Agencies or political subdivisions from creating a "Vaccine Passport" or other requirement for citizens to receive any sort of commercial service.

“As Lt. Gov. of Texas, I'm stunned American Airlines would put out a statement saying 'we strongly oppose this bill' just minutes after their Govt. Relations Representative called my office and admitted neither he nor the Airlines' CEO had actually read the legislation," said Patrick, responding to the company's comments on the SB 7 Election & Ballot Security Bill.

"Major League Baseball adopted what's turned out to be a false narrative about the Election Law Reforms in Georgia, and based on that false narrative... its shameful America’s pastime is not only being influenced by partisan politics, but also perpetuating false political narratives," said Gov. Greg Abbott.

Though most bills are numbered in the order in which they are filed, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has reserved the first 30 bills for legislation he feels are top priorities for the state. A number of these important, marquee bills were passed by the Texas Senate and sent to the Texas House last week.

The Texas Legislature, currently in session, meets every other year. Yet it can make the most of its short time together by passing House Bill 2668 and Senate Bill 523 to help protect some of Texas' most vulnerable – those with rare and chronic diseases.

After eight days of mounting pressure, and Sen. Ted Cruz’s request for press access, President Biden finally ended his media blackout of the Customs & Border Protection Facilities in Donna, Texas, by allowing a "pool camera" inside for the first time during his presidency.

“We are still waiting on the final data from the U.S. Census Bureau, but there's no time to waste. We need to get to work,” said State Rep. Brooks Landgraf ahead of the Texas House Committee on Redistricting conducting a hearing to discuss population projections and the redistricting process for Texas.

​​​​​​​"Given your new role as the administration’s Border Czar, I urge you to visit the border to see the crisis, and I implore the Biden Administration to take swift action to secure it," said Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, admonishing the president's newly named "Border Czar," Vice President Kamala Harris, for both answers and action on the rapidly growing crisis.

Governor Greg Abbott and the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) today announced the creation of a COVID-19 Rapid Testing Program for Texas youth summer camps to help camps safely operate throughout the summer.

​​​​​​​“I visited Ciudad Juarez to see how dire the situation is on the Mexican side as well. The families we met are more than just statistics, and the dangers they encounter on their journey are horrifying. Right now, our broken system is only encouraging more of these dangerous journeys to take place," said Texas Congressman Tony Gonzales.

The Biden Border Crisis is real, and it’s only going to get worse.  . . In a blatant move to avoid transparency, President Biden won’t let the media near any migrant detention facilities.

The proposed changes in SB3 will revolutionize Texas' prevention and preparation strategies for any energy emergencies we encounter going forward.

The “State Tax Freedom Act." bill (HR2189) pushes back against an unconstitutional provision inserted into the American Rescue Plan that restricts states’ ability to manage their own finances.

As the Biden Border Crisis worsens by the day, Sen. Ted Cruz is demanding that the Biden Administration lift its unprecedented media blackout and allow Americans transparent coverage of the disaster unfolding on Texas' Southern Border. Cruz led some 20 of his Senate colleagues on a Border Tour Friday, where reports from the Donna, Texas facility are heartbreaking.

While the Biden Administration continues to deny press access to the facilities housing 10s of 1,000s of illegal border crossers at the United State's Southern Border, and in response to the immigration crisis surging there, Texas Senators John Cornyn & Ted Cruz will lead a Senate delegation tour to the Texas-Mexico Border this Friday, March 26th.

How are these children coming across the border, and who is helping them get here? Were they abused or harmed on their journeys, and were they or their families assisted or threatened by cartel members or human traffickers? These are just some of the questions Gov. Abbott is asking President Biden about the humanitarian crisis at Texas' Southern Border.​​​​​​​

“Democrats call this the 'For the People Act,' or HR 1, but a more appropriate name would be the 'Corrupt Politicians Act' because it’s designed by politicians & is for the politicians,” said Sen. Ted Cruz in an op-ed for Real Clear Politics outlining the dangerous provisions which, if signed into law, will overhaul State Election Laws and cement Democrat control for decades.

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) ramped up pressure on President Biden to allow free and fair reporting on the humanitarian, national security, and public health crises at the southern border.

The situation along the south Texas Border has “become so dire that Border Patrol has no choice but to release people nearly immediately after apprehension because there's no space to hold people, even to do the necessary Notice to Appear (NTA) paperwork.”
