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. Texas Family Project is

Texas families know what happens when times get tight. They don't simply spend more money, they tighten their belts, prioritize what matters most, and find ways to do more with less. State government should be no different. That is why Governor Greg Abbott, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, and Speaker Dustin Burrows have directed most state agencies to reduce their upcoming budget requests by three percent. The directive sends the message that Texas leaders intend to keep gov

America's 250th birthday brought more than fireworks and patriotic celebrations this year, it marked the official rollout of one of the most significant investments in the next generation of Americans. Beginning on the Fourth of July, eligible children started receiving the federal government's initial $1,000 investment through the new Trump Accounts program. We strongly support this initiative and encourage every eligible parent to take advantage of this opportunity for thei

We applaud the United States Supreme Court's decision to allow Texas' App Store Accountability Act to take effect while legal challenges continue. This is a significant victory for parental rights, child safety, and common sense. Big Tech companies have operated as though they, not parents, should determine what children can access online. Smartphones and mobile applications have become gateways to pornography, violent content, online predators, addictive social media, and co

Texas children deserve to be protected from harmful and obscene material online. Once again, Attorney General Ken Paxton has demonstrated that Texas is serious about enforcing the law and holding those who refuse to comply accountable. In a significant legal victory, a Travis County court ordered the domain name of a foreign-operated pornography website to be frozen after its parent company repeatedly ignored Texas' age-verification law. The company, Kick Entertainment Online

For years, Texas families fought for the freedom to choose the best educational environment for their children. Today, that vision is becoming a reality. This week marked a historic milestone as nearly 73,000 Texas Education Freedom Accounts (TEFA) received their initial funding through the state's new Education Savings Account program. The rollout represents one of the largest first-year school choice launches in the nation and delivers on a promise that parents, not governm

One event at the 2026 Texas Democrat Convention captured the attention of many Texans, not because of a serious discussion about border security, education, or public safety, but because convention organizers are promoting a drag show fundraising event associated with the Texas Stonewall Democrats. The event is being used to raise money while celebrating drag performances as part of the convention experience. This is more than just another convention side event. It is a refle

As Texans begin evaluating candidates for United States Senate, voters should carefully examine not only a candidate's policy positions but also the worldview they present to the public. State Representative James Talarico (D-Austin) frequently speaks about Christianity and has publicly identified himself as both a “Christian” and a “pastor.” Because he chooses to make his faith part of his public identity, his theological claims deserve public scrutiny. Representative Talari

Last week, thousands of grassroots conservatives from across the Lone Star State gathered in Houston for the 2026 Republican Party of Texas Convention. Delegates spent several days debating policy, shaping the party platform, and establishing legislative priorities that will help guide lawmakers during the upcoming 2027 legislative session. According to a letter sent by newly elected Republican Party of Texas Chairwoman Drinda Randall to the State Republican Executive Committ

Attorney General Ken Paxton joined the Federal Trade Commission in a lawsuit against the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), an organization that has played a central role in promoting “gender-affirming care” for children. According to the lawsuit, WPATH allegedly misled parents, doctors, and insurers regarding the risks and benefits associated with puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and irreversible surgical procedures performed on minors.
