Texas Action

@TXGOPCaucus @RepMattSchaefer Well let's not pop the champagne until the bill is signed in to law.

#HB1972 by @RepMattSchaefer is the Permitless Carry bill, aka Firearm Carry Act, that allows all law-abiding Texans the right to carry a holstered handgun for personal protection. Read more on the bill here: texashousecaucus.com/post/news-texa…

The @TXGOPCaucus has delivered on several major priorities this session, including protecting 2nd Amendment Rights. Here’s a look at our #2A #txlege victories so far: THREAD

We have updated our #TxLege House Floor Report to reflect the supplemental calendar in all of its 377 bill glory. To the members of the #TxHouse #strengthandhonor ;-) reports.texasaction.com/floor-report/2…

Texas, we did it—alcohol to go is now the law of the land. Cheers! 🥂#txlege

@scottbraddock Appears to be all Texas government sites. Not just lege. State agency sites, Texas.gov, gov.texs.gov, and so forth.

It appears the websites of the Texas Senate, Texas House, Texas Ethics Commission, and the Texas Legislature Online are all down #TxLege

@JREakin Not just TLO it looks like all Texas government websites are down. TLO, all state agencies, etc.

@CapitolOuthouse Lol. Not just internal. From the looks of it all Texas state websites are experiencing an outage from texas.gov on down.

Our House Floor Report email for the 4/27 calendar is delayed due to a glitch with @ConstantContact. In the meantime the report is published to our website at reports.texasaction.com/floor-report/2… #txlege

Today the Texas Senate filed, heard, and passed SB 2142 in the span of a couple hours with no real public notice or input. This is no way for law to be made in Texas or anywhere else. Our full statement at the link. #txlege texasaction.com/process-matter…

We oppose HB 3 which creates sweeping new emergency executive authority with no meaningful legislative oversight. This is a major violation of the separation of powers and an abdication of responsibility by the legislative branch. #txlege texasaction.com/bill-alert-hb-…

It's time to stop arresting and booking people into county jail for offenses that are only punishable by a fine. #txlege texasaction.com/stop-jailing-f…

Dear #TxLege, please consider this cautionary tale before considering legislation to tinker with the #minimumwage. Well intentioned economic tinkering usually leads to disaster for those the tinkering is supposed to help... @The87thTxlege @TXlege redstate.com/scotthounsell/…

Yesterday, @GovAbbott declared Election Integrity an emergency item for the #TxLege. We support this emergency designation and encourage legislators to pass significant reforms to secure our elections. More at the link. texasaction.com/election-integ…

As our analyst, Rebecca Willis, explains, it's time for The #TxLege to open up the Texas economy by getting rid of unnecessary and burdensome regulations. #87thlegislature texasaction.com/open-the-texas…

Please reconsider & pass #HB2754 to protect civil liberties of Texans & prevent waste of law enforcement time & resources while upholding LEO discretion if imminent threat. @moodyforelpaso @James_E_White @CohenAtTPPF @MarcALevin #txlege

TX House had a discussion abt civil asset forfeiture that was long overdue. Proud to lead us forward w/2 significant reforms that passed w/bipartisan support. Ultimately the bill was pulled down, but opponents to reform should note the votes and be very afraid. #txlege #CJReform

In our House floor report earlier this evening we listed HB 2872 as neutral. It should have been listed as an oppose. #txlege reports.texasaction.com/bill/86r/hb2872

In our floor report last night we listed HB 885 as an oppose. After consultation with the author's office we have revised and updated our bill page and withdrawn our objection to the bill. #TxLege @RaneyForTexas reports.texasaction.com/bill/86r/hb885

Texas hero Wallace Hall gets an apology. He should get a medal. #txlege #UniversityOfTexas #admissionsscandal #wallacehall #whistleblower goacta.org/news/wallace-h…

Texas should let adults be adults and resist the temptation to pick and choose behaviors for which we will treat adults as juveniles. #TxLege texasaction.com/let-adults-be-…

Clarification to our earlier email regarding prefiled amendments to HB 3: we oppose amendment 860483 by Raymond. Our apologies for any confusion the typo in our email this morning may have caused. #txlege reports.texasaction.com/bill/86r/hb3
