A Texas family is mourning the loss of an unborn child after prosecutors say a Montgomery County man secretly administered abortion medication to a pregnant woman without her knowledge or consent. This case could become one of the most significant pro-life criminal prosecutions in recent Texas history. According to investigators, 25-year-old Jon Rueben Gabriel Demeter has been indicted on felony charges, including performing an abortion and injury to a child. Authorities say

Texas families scored another major victory as the legal and political fight over so-called “gender transition” procedures for minors continues to shift in favor of protecting children. A new report revealed a Texas hospital system is now preparing to launch a youth “detransition clinic” for young people seeking help after undergoing medical “treatment” tied to gender ideology. The development comes after years of legal action and investigations led by Ken Paxton and the Stat

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has once again shown strong leadership in defending Texas and ensuring state law is followed in public schools across Texas. This week, Attorney General Paxton announced a statewide investigation into nearly 30 Independent School Districts to ensure compliance with Texas’ Ten Commandments law and new protections for voluntary prayer in schools. The investigation comes after a major legal victory for the State of Texas earlier this year when

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board ordered Texas American Muslim University at Dallas, also known as “TexAM,” to cease operations after state officials determined the institution was operating without the proper authorization required under Texas law. According to the report, the university had been advertising STEM degree programs and actively recruiting students despite lacking the required Certificate of Authority from the state. Texas Family Project fully supp

Texas families have long expected their public institutions to follow the law and protect the safety and privacy of children. Thanks to the leadership of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, that expectation is being met, no matter how resistant certain school districts may be. According to a report by Texas Scorecard, Attorney General Paxton has now issued a second notice to Austin Independent School District (AISD) after another complaint surfaced involving a male student all

Texas families have reason to celebrate after a major legal victory affirmed the right to restore moral clarity in our classrooms. This week, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled Texas can move forward with its law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in every public school classroom, marking a decisive win for families, faith, and the foundational values that built this nation. The ruling overturns previous lower courts' attempts to block the law a

Texas families have been sounding the alarm for years: taxpayer-funded universities have drifted away from their core mission and toward ideological activism. Now, the Texas Tech University System is taking a meaningful step to correct course, and it’s a move worth recognizing! Under the leadership of Chancellor Brandon Creighton, a former pro-family champion while serving in the Texas Senate, Texas Tech has announced it will phase out academic programs centered on sexual ori

Texas taxpayers were promised accountability when lawmakers passed Senate Bill 17, a law designed to remove Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) bureaucracies from publicly funded universities. But a newly released undercover video suggests that, at least in practice, that promise is being undermined. According to reporting from Texas Scorecard and an undercover investigation conducted by Accuracy in Media, a staff member within UT-Arlington’s social work program openly dis

Newly released data from the Texas Education Agency (TEA) reveals a troubling reality: total public school spending in Texas is approaching $19,000 per student when all funding sources are included. That number should stop every parent, taxpayer, and policymaker in their tracks. For years, Texans have been told our schools are “underfunded.” But the data suggests a more uncomfortable truth: Texas public education is not suffering from a lack of money. It is suffering from a l

As the Texas State Board of Education (SBOE) convened in Austin from April 7–10, parents and grassroots advocates once again found themselves at the center of a high-stakes debate over the future of public education in the Lone Star State. This week’s meeting represented far more than routine bureaucratic action; it was a defining moment in the ongoing fight for transparency, parental authority, and the preservation of Texas values in the classroom. A Packed Agenda with Lasti

The most recent legislative session gave Texas families the opportunity to have a choice in their child’s education. As you will see, families overwhelmingly are in support of this new program, posting a staggering number of applications. When the Texas Education Freedom Account (TEFA) program launched earlier this year, the response was immediate and overwhelming. On day one alone, more than 42,000 students applied, setting a national record for a new program rollout. But t

In a time when too many public figures stay silent, it’s refreshing to see young leaders step forward with courage. That’s exactly what we’re seeing from Jaden Ivey, an athlete who has shown he’s willing to stand firm in his beliefs, even when it’s not the easy path. We believe character matters more than talent. And when athletes use their platform to stand for truth, family values, and God’s Word, they deserve recognition, not backlash. Jaden Ivey, a shooting guard who mos

The recent portrayal of Iman Academy in the media attempts to reframe a serious and legitimate concern as “stereotyping.” We disagree. Texans deserve clarity, not spin. The real question at stake is whether the values, teachings, and governing principles associated with Islam, particularly Sharia law, can coexist with the constitutional framework and legal traditions that define Texas and the United States. The Real Story Behind the Lawsuits According to reports, multiple Isl

Over the past several weeks, Texas Family Project has been on the road, traveling across our great state and meeting directly with Texans in Bryan, San Antonio, Beaumont, and Houston. We spoke to groups about our grassroots and legislative efforts, but also asked many of them a simple question: What are the biggest issues facing your family right now? The answers we received were consistent and in line with our efforts. 1. Concerns About Islam and Cultural Compatibility Acros

This week, Ken Paxton took decisive action to protect communities in Collin County from a deeply troubling development proposal tied to the East Plano Islamic Center. In a formal letter to the Collin County Commissioners Court, Attorney General Paxton urged local officials to reject any further progress on the proposed “EPIC City” project, a development already surrounded by serious legal and ethical concerns. The letter follows a lawsuit filed by Paxton targeting what appear

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has launched an investigation into Manara Academy in Irving. This should concern every parent and taxpayer in Texas! According to reports, the TEA confirmed it has an active investigation into the charter school system, focusing on “district-level systems, practices and compliance” tied to allegations involving prohibited instructional materials and classroom activities. At this stage, the agency has not reached final conclusions, but the mer

The Texas primary election delivered encouraging results for pro-family fighters across the state. Texas Family Project is proud to report that many of the candidates we recommended had major victories or advanced to runoffs. These results show Texans continue to support leaders who are willing to put families first! For years, Texas Family Project has worked to inform voters about the candidates who will defend the innocence of children, protect families, and push back again

Texas is a state built on the principles of faith, freedom, and the rule of law. For generations, Texans have defended the foundational values that shaped our nation, values rooted in the Christian worldview. That is why the formation of the Sharia Free Texas Caucus in the Texas Legislature is an important and necessary step to protect our state’s future! Led by State Representative Brent Money (R-Greenville) and a growing coalition of lawmakers, the caucus was created to exa

On February 25, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a ruling upholding Texas’s prohibition on sexually explicit drag performances in front of minors. This decision affirms what Texas parents have said for years: children deserve protection from adult-themed entertainment, and the state has both the authority and the responsibility to draw clear boundaries. Texas Family Project stands fully behind this ruling! The Fifth Circuit recognized safeguarding minors as a legitim
