Texas families are getting an encouraging early look at what can happen when schools put rigorous, transparent, Texas-focused curriculum back at the center of education. New data from the Texas Education Agency shows that school districts using the state’s Bluebonnet Learning curriculum experienced stronger average year-over-year achievement changes in reading and math than districts that did not use the materials. The results come after Bluebonnet Learning’s first year of cl

Houston’s Montrose neighborhood once again has prominent LGBT-themed banners displayed along Westheimer Road, nearly a year after the city removed rainbow crosswalks from the area following direction from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. According to reporting from Texas Scorecard, ten banners featuring the “Intersex-Inclusive Progress Pride Flag” are now being installed on CenterPoint utility poles between Taft Street and Montrose Boulevard. The project was supported by Houston Mayor

Recent comments from Texas Comptroller Don Huffines highlight an issue that deserves far more attention from policymakers, churches, communities, and families across the Lone Star State: Texas needs fathers who are present, responsible, engaged, and committed to leading and providing for their families. Huffines has connected his economic agenda to the needs of families, arguing that lower taxes and responsible government spending can make Texas a better place to live, work,

Texas parents deserve to know that the adults entrusted with their children are being held to the highest possible standards. New data from the Texas Education Agency (TEA) shows just how important that responsibility has become. According to reporting by Erin Anderson of Texas Scorecard, Texas received 19,766 educator misconduct reports during Fiscal Year 2026, nearly three times the 6,456 reports received during FY 2025. Anderson’s reporting found that TEA received an avera

The Texas Medical Board has revoked the medical license of Stephenville orthopedic surgeon Dr. William “Bill” Evans after determining that he prescribed an abortion-inducing drug to a patient with whom he had an inappropriate sexual relationship; another example of why Texas must continue enforcing its laws protecting unborn children. The Texas Medical Board issued its revocation of Evans' license on September 4. The board's action stems from conduct involving a patient with

Texas has scored a major victory in the fight to protect children from the dangers of Big Tech, with Attorney General Ken Paxton securing a landmark ruling holding TikTok liable for misleading parents about the safety of its platform and exposing children to inappropriate content. Many have warned about the dangers children face on social media. Platforms like TikTok have repeatedly presented themselves as safe environments for young users while building their businesses arou

America is entering a dangerous new era in which technology can create images that never existed in the real world but are nearly impossible to distinguish from reality. Artificial intelligence has brought enormous opportunities, but it has also created frightening new tools for predators. A federal appeals court ruled that, in a narrow circumstance, the First Amendment protects the private possession of AI-generated child sexual abuse material depicting entirely fictional ch

Once again, a federal judge has put the interests of radical activists ahead of the rights of Texas parents and the protection of Texas children. On Tuesday, a federal judge again declared Texas Senate Bill 12 unconstitutional, preventing the state from enforcing legislation designed to protect minors from sexually oriented performances, namely drag shows. Attorney General Ken Paxton immediately announced his office would appeal the decision. This is not complicated. Children

Parents have watched as Big Tech companies have gained unprecedented access to their children. Social media platforms have become deeply embedded in the lives of young Texans, while concerns continue to grow about addiction, excessive screen time, harmful content, and the effects these platforms have on children. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has secured a historic settlement with Meta worth more than $1 billion for the state of Texas, along with significant new protectio

Governor Greg Abbott traveled to Fort Worth this week alongside Tarrant County Judge Tim O’Hare and Commissioners Matt Krause and Manny Ramirez to highlight what conservative leadership at the local level can accomplish. Tarrant County has lowered its property tax rate for three consecutive years and is now proposing a fourth consecutive reduction. And here's the part taxpayers should pay close attention to: Tarrant County has managed to reduce taxes while continuing to fund

The Texas Education Agency has released its 2026 A–F accountability ratings, and they show measurable improvement across the state. Of the 1,202 school districts and 9,105 campuses rated this year, 24 percent of both districts and campuses improved their rating compared with 2025. Even more encouraging, 585 campuses that previously received something below an A moved up to an A this year. Overall, 85 percent of rated campuses earned a C or better. For decades, too many famili

Texas is a state built on the rule of law, religious liberty, and the principle that no foreign religious legal system stands above the Constitution. That is why the latest developments at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport should concern Texans. DFW Airport is planning to install two new Islamic ritual foot-washing, or wudu, stations in Terminal D restrooms. According to reporting, the approximately $300,000 project is privately funded and is expected to be completed by

An Alaskan surrogate mother, McKenna West, refused to abort the baby she was carrying after the child was diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), a serious congenital heart condition in which the left side of the heart does not fully develop. Instead of killing the child, which the surrogate parents demanded, West chose to flee to Texas seeking specialized medical care for the child. The dispute began after doctors identified the baby's heart condition during

A recent investigation by Texas Scorecard raises major concern in Bell County, where the art studio owned by Democrat Texas House candidate Amelia Rabroker has reportedly hosted a series of LGBT-themed events advertised as being “appropriate” for all ages. According to Texas Scorecard, Rabroker owns The Art Space of Central Texas in Harker Heights. The studio has hosted everything from pottery classes and empowerment workshops to what Texas Scorecard identified as LGBT-themed

The recently finalized settlement between Texas Children’s Hospital and Attorney General Ken Paxton is a historic victory for children and families. The agreement will create the nation’s first-ever detransition clinic, permanently halt prohibited gender-transition procedures on minors at Texas Children’s, require millions of dollars in payments, and hold doctors involved in the hospital’s former program accountable. Texas Family Project is proud to stand with Attorney Genera

On July 27, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick announced seven additional interim charges for Senate committees to study before lawmakers return to Austin in January 2027. Three of those charges were assigned to the Senate Religious Liberty Committee and specifically address the protection and advancement of religious freedom in Texas. The first charge directs lawmakers to examine the current state of religious liberty in Texas, comparing state protections, including Article I, Section 6 o

For years, Big Tech companies have told parents they are committed to keeping children safe online. Yet time and time again, we have seen a troubling gap between those promises and what children actually encounter on their platforms. Texas is now making it clear that those empty promises will not be tolerated. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has secured a landmark court order requiring Discord to strengthen protections for Texas children and provide them with safeguards the

Governor Greg Abbott takes decisive action to end the exploitation of America's immigration system through so-called "birth tourism." Executive Order GA-57 sends a clear message: Texas will no longer tolerate individuals or organizations profiting from schemes designed to exploit our nation's citizenship laws. For too long, businesses and healthcare providers have marketed "birth packages" to foreign nationals, encouraging them to travel to Texas for the sole purpose of givi

The City of Austin decided to remove its LGBT "Pride" crosswalks in compliance with Governor Greg Abbott's directive and federal guidance prohibiting political messaging on public roadways. This is a victory for common sense, responsible government, and the principle that taxpayer-funded infrastructure should serve the public, not promote political or ideological causes. Roads and crosswalks exist for one purpose: public safety. They are not billboards for activist movements,

Governor Greg Abbott's appointment of Robert Howden as Texas' next Secretary of State is welcomed news for Texans who value secure elections, limited government, and strong conservative leadership. After decades of serving under Republican administrations and working closely with Governor Abbott on legislative affairs, Howden brings a wealth of experience and a proven commitment to the principles that have made Texas the nation's conservative leader.
