It was great to be back in the Capitol this week for the third special session. Thank you to all who came down to the Capitol to testify during the committee hearings and all who called to share their thoughts, I always enjoy getting to hear from my constituents. I’m proud to share that after 15 hours of debate and discussion on the Senate floor on Thursday, the Senate passed legislation addressing border security, school choice, increasing school funding, increasing penalties against human smuggling, and ending COVID vaccine mandates. These bills have now been sent to the House for further consideration. Continue reading below to learn more about each bill!

Join True Texas Project activists from all over the state in Austin for weekly legislative activity. TTP activists will spend the day promoting our priority legislation and fighting against the Bad Bills!
When you arrive at the Capitol, you’ll meet up with Fran Rhodes, TTP President, and receive assignments for the day. Those might include talking to key lawmakers or their staff about specific issues/bills; testifying at committee hearings (if you’re up for it), registering for or against bills at the kiosks, distributing position papers to lawmakers, or writing cards to committee members.
We will be at the Capitol EVERY TUESDAY, and other days as the schedule demands. You can join us as many weeks as you want. Get some other folks in your area to go with you in a carpool (we reimburse 20 cents/mile for carpools), or come by yourself and meet up with others at the Capitol.
Specific plans are always subject to change based on what’s happening in the legislature at that time. Watch for details in Fran’s Friday Messages, and on the TTP Citizen Advocate Chat group in Facebook.
