I was shocked to find This Book Is Gay in the teen section of the Tyler Public Library. Two years of warnings—and the City of Tyler has done nothing. This morning I filed a public-information request and attached excerpts so everyone can see what’s being provided to minors. In May 2025 the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that government-funded libraries are not required to provide every book patrons demand—upholding Llano County’s removal of inappropriate books. This is a local issue. While the state has a compelling interest, we shouldn’t need a new state law to force action. 👉 City of Tyler, it’s time to protect our children. #TylerTX #TylerPublicLibrary #ProtectOurChildren #CommunityStandards @CityofTyler @SenBryanHughes @DanielAldersTX @GAWTP

BREAKING—Conservative Republican leader—and a woman I’m proud to call my friend—@rhondaward74 announces Texas State Senate District 3 challenge to incumbent Bob Nichols. Nichols voted to impeach AG @KenPaxtonTX and was a key player in the Colony Ridge illegal alien slum development.

I couldn’t agree more. WHY on Earth would our #TxLege put SB22 millions4moviehouses ahead of safeguarding TX children with Senator @AngelaPaxtonTX’s #SB13 that installs common sense guard rails to protect minors from indecent and profane materials in our schools. Chairman @toddahunter, you were there with us in Pub Ed until 3:30AM and witnessed a Bi-Partisan effort to get this bill across the finish line. PLEASE, Sir, #ProtectChildrenFIRST & help us rid TX schools of the horribly #FilthyBooks. Put SB13 on the MAJOR State Calendar today. Chairman Hunter — these books ARE in schools all over our State!

#txlege 🚨 SB 13 BANS SEXUALLY EXPLICIT BOOKS IN TEXAS SCHOOL LIBRARIES — BUT IT IS IN DANGER OF DYING IN THE TEXAS HOUSE Time is running out! Texas kids will pay the price if the House fails to act. SB 13 by @AngelaPaxtonTX is a top @TexasGOP priority that would finally remove sexually explicit, indecent, and profane content from public school libraries across Texas. The Senate passed it. But now, it’s stalled in the Texas House—and time is running out fast. Let’s be clear: If SB 13 dies, it won’t be legislators who suffer. It’ll be our children—left exposed and unprotected for two more years! 📣 TAKE ACTION NOW – TEXAS KIDS ARE COUNTING ON US 📍 STEP 1: Contact House Calendars Chair Todd Hunter 📞 (512) 463-0672 📧 todd.hunter@house.texas.gov 🗣️ Tell him: “Place SB 13 on the calendar without delay. Texas kids can’t wait.” 📍 STEP 2: Call Every Republican Member of the House Calendars Committee: Rep. Stan Gerdes — 📞 (512) 463-0458 Rep. Cody Harris — 📞 (512) 463-0730 Rep. Jeff Leach — 📞 (512) 463-0544 Rep. Janie Lopez — 📞 (512) 463-0460 Rep. Carl Tepper — 📞 (512) 463-0676 🗣️ Message for all members: “Get SB 13 onto the state calendar today. HB 900 is not working as intended and explicit content is still in schools. Texas children can’t wait two more years.” 📚 WHY SB 13 MATTERS: In 2023, Texas passed the READER Act (HB 900)—an important first step that acknowledged the need for content standards in school libraries. Many of us fought hard for it. But two years later, it’s clear: HB 900 is not working as intended. Explicit content is still in Texas public schools! SB 13 doesn’t replace HB 900—it completes the job: ✅ Clear, enforceable standards for what belongs in school libraries ✅ Transparent oversight with parent-majority library councils ✅ Accountability for districts that ignore concerns ✅ Timely, documented responses to challenges This is what Texas parents asked for. This is the protection Texas kids deserve. ⚠️ THE CLOCK IS TICKING We cannot let SB 13 die. Every minute of delay puts children at risk. The House must act now—or be held accountable for inaction. 📞 Make the calls. 📢 Demand action. Pass SB 13. Protect our kids. Clean up Texas school libraries—before it’s too late. @TexasGOP @BradBuckleyDVM @toddahunter @cdfusa @Moms4LibertyGC @M4LHarris @GAWTP @M4LWilCoTX @FamilyProjectTX @TexasEd911 @TxValuesAction @tx4kids @TexasEF @TrueTexasTea @txpride1836 @Shalayla4USA

Gene Wu says Democrats have respect in @Burrows4tx House and House Dems have used their power and leverage to tamp down on insane legislation to protect children that @GregAbbott_TX and @DanPatrick want. Gene Wu: “I know that a lot of those pieces of (insane) legislation are in the House. They are stuck in the House because the Senate is happy to rubber stamp anything that Governor Abbott and Dan Patrick puts on their desk.” WFAA: youtu.be/gnS0OZveqak?si…

@Bentley4Texas American Library Association based in Chicago is trying to get legislation passed in states nationwide that ADDS exemptions for school librarians from obscenity laws.

There is NEVER a reason to give a child porn and there is NEVER a reason to have a child perform sexually for and adult. Yet, Texas law says otherwise... SB 412 by @mayes_middleton changes that, repealing absurd affirmative defenses aka legal justifications in Texas Penal code 43.24 (harmful material), 43.25 (sexual performance by a child), and 43.26 (posession of child porn). This RAD bill is STRONGLY supported by the Texas GOP, and it's being heard by the full Texas Senate TODAY! #txlege @TexasGOP #RAD #ProtectKids

A Houston high school teacher has been charged with multiple felony counts for having inappropriate contact with children. At least SIX STUDENTS have come forward so far with reports about this groomer teacher. He has YET to be arrested! texasscorecard.com/local/houston-…

Would it surprise you to know that it's not illegal in Texas for your 13 year old daughter's soccer coach to give her a sex toy? It should be. We need to do a better job protecting Texas children. #txlege
