Texas is home to nine illustrious HBCUs, each with a proud history of empowering Black students and shaping future leaders. These institutions remain vital centers of culture, education, and opportunity—continuing to advance equity and excellence across the state.

Susan, I hope I look as good as you at 102!

Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.

The House is losing a legend in @RepAllenTX131. 20+ years as a guiding force on education and a source of genuine love and care. I couldn’t walk past without her asking how my kids were. Tough to lose her wisdom and heart, but she’s definitely earned her retirement! #txlege

What an honor it has been to serve alongside the mighty Dr. Alma Allen. A lifetime of service to her community and our state, from HISD, to the SBOE, to the Texas Legislature. I’ll miss her big hugs, wonderful stories, and encouragement for us newer members. Wishing her all the best and looking forward to the good trouble she’ll get into during retirement. ✊💕 @RepAllenTX131 #txlege - Qué honor ha sido servir junto a la gran Dra. Alma Allen. Una vida entera de servicio a su comunidad y a nuestro estado, desde HISD, pasando por la SBOE, hasta la Legislatura de Texas. Extrañaré sus grandes abrazos, sus maravillosas historias y el ánimo que siempre nos dio a los más nuevos. Le deseo lo mejor y espero con entusiasmo las buenas travesuras en las que se meterá durante su retiro. ✊💕 @RepAllenTX131 #txlege

Lawrence Allen for HD 131. Stay tune - more to come The commitment to excellence continues….

We left Texas to fight for Texans. No matter what it takes – we're here to protect your voice. #txlege @GeneForTexas

Trump threatened to arrest us. Abbott threatened to remove us from office. Paxton threatened to “hunt” us down. Yesterday, we received a bomb threat. But we will not back down.

@AbbottCampaign Flood relief efforts and other important bills should have been main priority of the governor, not redistricting/gerrymandering. This gaslight will not work, we stand strong in protecting our constitution and our constituents.

It’s time for @repallentx131 to get back to work! Texans want property tax reform and flood relief, not legislators who flee Texas for Chicago and New York.

This special session was supposed to be about saving lives after tragic flooding in Texas. Instead, Governor Abbott and Donald Trump are trying to rig the election and cling to power. We broke quorum because the power belongs to the voters — not Donald Trump.

History will judge this moment. It will show a Governor who used the law as a weapon to silence his people, and it will show those of us who stood for a higher principle. We took an oath to the constitution, not to a politician’s agenda. #txlege

Breaking Quorum is an exceptional and extraordinary act of last resort.  It is not a decision I take lightly.  But Texas Democrats will stand up and protect democracy, even if it comes at a great cost.
