To all of my new Japanese followers… In Texas we Add Beans in our Chili. 🙏🏽🫘🌶️

@rab_ag @GovAbbottPress @GregAbbott_TX Good summary. Accurate.

@GovAbbottPress @GregAbbott_TX I'll summarize: It's all your local government's fault so we're going to take all power away from them & centralize. You'll still have property taxes (gotta fund our vouchers), they just won't go up quite as fast & you will die having never owned your home.

Tune in live at ~11:00 AM to hear Governor @GregAbbott_TX outline his property tax reduction plan for Texas taxpayers. You won't want to miss this! Facebook.com/TexasGovernor

@wilhelmbrent @RODEOHOUSTON Nicely done dad!

Both the kids got all of their commercial steers in the sale @RODEOHOUSTON , but I am super proud of Kennedy, she had the top animal of the contest with a YG2 Prime. This contest is 20% animal and 80% kid.

@Davy1836 @TexasScorecard Wonder what he will promise to veto if he doesn't get his way.

@TexasScorecard Another bait and switch is what this will be. It will centralize revenue at the state level and locals will have to beg for scraps with globalist strings attached. I bet I’m right… any takers.

Gov. Abbott is pressing lawmakers to back his property tax relief plan.

@JamesAFurey Buy more books!

My son is six, and he can read chapter books but he can’t tie his own shoes. Any advice?

@sbellsnyder @RC_177 Agree. This water issue will move to the front and center on the "who gets what" when it comes to resources. Worrisome stuff.

100% - if we give into central control on some things, it’s only a matter of time before they push central control of all things. For Rural Texas in particular — we have resources that the cities are going to need eventually and they will just come and take them — get ready, and will have absolutely no say whatsoever. I’m sorry, but that’s not the Texas that I want.

I highly recommend you read the Texas constitution one day, which explicitly grants the State Legislature supremacy over local municipalities.

@sbellsnyder @RC_177 So the question becomes, as we live in rural areas, how do we rein in this push for central control? It's absolutely amazing to me that people cannot see where this is headed.

Austin may hold authority under the law but Texans believe in local control, local responsibility, local freedom. Even Sam Houston warned against concentrating too much power in a distant government. That power has been restrained by local legislators, who understood that this was a Texas value. I’m not sure why any conservative would want to stay away from that. It’s a slippery slope.

@Davy1836 @Bentley4Texas Exactly. You can forget local control and any small rural school district that lacks the means for self support will be forced into consolidation.

@Bentley4Texas Abbott is a globalist liar with a globalist agenda. His tax plan will assuredly centralize tax $ in Austin and redistribute it back to locals with globalist strings attached. Fake conservatives are running the asylum.

Governor Abbott’s property tax plan brings real, substantive reform. Eliminating school M&O taxes is a true step toward the ultimate goal — the eventual elimination of property taxes in Texas — and it’s relief Texans will actually feel in their pocketbooks. This will be a tough fight in the Senate, and it will take the grassroots staying engaged to get it done. This starts now, leading up to convention. Let’s unite behind principles and get on the path to eliminating property taxes in Texas. All hands on deck. #txlege

@coachdavis2122 @coachkevinrich @BradBuckleyDVM @DanPatrick @GregAbbott_TX That's being used as I type.

@coachkevinrich @BradBuckleyDVM @DanPatrick @GregAbbott_TX They’ll find a way to save face and move the goalposts…. Kind of like claiming that 300% of federal poverty guidelines is “low income”

Shocking....how do you spin these numbers?? What a scam....@BradBuckleyDVM @DanPatrick @GregAbbott_TX

@aggiembk Whoop!

BABY BYE, BYE, BYE

@CoxHerb One down. Two to go.

Tagged and bagged!

@CoxHerb @coachdavis2122 Have to admit, didn't see that coming. Certainly was not EVER mentioned.

@Texasfurever @WadeCallaway @KingForTexas @Sarah4Texas @sbellsnyder @coachkevinrich @rab_ag @lynnsdavenport Is his money?

@WadeCallaway @KingForTexas @Sarah4Texas @sbellsnyder @coachkevinrich @rab_ag @lynnsdavenport Farris Wilkes is no longer involved in politics

"As the President of Texas for Life Committee, one of the oldest pro-life organizations in our state, and as an advocate for pro-life laws in the the Texas Capitol for more than three decades, I feel compelled to address recent misleading claims circulating in Texas House District 88, including a video by candidate John Browning holding a mailer falsely asserting that Rep. Ken King is 'not pro-life.' These accusations are completely false. Rep. Ken King has a strong and consistent pro-life voting record. He voted YES on Senate Bill 8 (the Texas Heartbeat Act) in 2021, which banned abortions after the baby's heartbeat is detectable, leading to a 45%-50% drop in abortions. Ken King supported and voted for the Human Life Protection Act, the landmark pro-life legislation to completely protect unborn babies from abortion beginning at conception. Following the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022, which allowed that law to go into effect, reported elective abortions plummeted from thousands each month to zero. He also voted for measures to ban chemical abortion pills. All of this while Mr. Browning seems unaware that these laws, among the best in the nation, even exist. This is why Texans for Life Committee Life PAC has proudly endorsed Rep. Ken King for re-election. We need Ken King back in the Capitol. His actions in the Legislature demonstrate he is a rock solid champion for the unborn. He has proven time and again that he stands firmly with the pro-life cause, protecting innocent human life without compromise. Voters deserve accurate information, not distortions or false mailers designed to mislead. We urge District 88 residents to look at the facts, Rep. King’s actual record, and our organization’s endorsement when making their decision." Dr. Joe Pojman President, Texans for Life Committee February 22, 2026

@MikeJoh14725926 @TexasTribune @teainfo Another question. Why would the TEA need approval to fix its own mess? I have this feeling it is bureaucracy at its finest.

@HappyJayW @TexasTribune @teainfo There is plenty of blame to go around.

The Texas Education Agency received initial approval Wednesday to correct roughly 4,200 errors in its elementary school curriculum, which has drawn attention for its references to Christianity and the Bible. Taxpayers will bear the cost of fixing errors in learning materials. bit.ly/40ttLxI

@MikeJoh14725926 @TexasTribune @teainfo They would have approved the curriculum but the TEA would have been charged with writing and implementing. Correct?

@MikeJoh14725926 @TexasTribune @teainfo What role does the State Board of Education play in any of this mess?

@TexasTribune The Texas Education Agency is a disaster. Bluebonnet math is just common core math. The language arts one has over 4,000 errors. Texas needs to wake up and get rid of TEA. @teainfo

@CoxHerb Yes. Time for Sid to go find a new career.

This. Sid’s gotta go. 👇👇👇👇

@ChristiCraddick Vouchers on the way out?

Texans shouldn’t pay for programs that undermine their beliefs. As Comptroller, I’ll make sure every state dollar reflects our priorities, safety, growth, and freedom, not a woke agenda.

@proud_native_am Hi

Hi

@ErinEpley @coachdavis2122 @granitewinger Nailed it!

@granitewinger The state forces local appraisal districts to raise your property values to raise your property taxes. Or they won’t release already ALLOTTED funds for the district schools. States Rs won’t fund the Constitutionally required public school system & MAKE locals raise your prop tax

Zero state elected republicans have voted to increase your property taxes by a penny. Your local elected officials, folks you and your neighbors voted for are 100% for the local spending and that is what raises your property taxes.
