On Monday, Governor Abbott announced special session #1 and issued a proclamation identifying agenda items for the

Special Session that include cracking down on illegal human smuggling. TheGovernor’sfirstcalled special session immediately follows a successful regular session that allocated more than $5.1 billiontosecuretheborder and fund the Texas National Guard, DPS, and construction of a border wall.Additionallegislation from the regular session that Governor Abbott will soon be signing includes designating Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist

Montgomery County Republican Party analysis of the results of the 88th Regular Legislative Session

The Texas Legislature wrapped up its regular session on Monday, May 29. Did they live up to voters’expectations on the topicsthatareimportantto Republicans?

The Montgomery County Republican Party (MCRP) Legislative Committee has been following the action and put together an analysis of the session’s activity, the results, and what it all means for Montgomery Countyvoters.

The goals of the committee were to follow themostsignificantbillsin the eight priority issues chosen by Republican delegates at the state convention, inform our voters, and to engage and mobilize them during the legislative process. Those prioritiesare:

* Stop Sexualizing TexasKids

*BanGenderModificationofChildren

*SecuretheBorder

*ProtectOurElections

* Parental Rights & EducationalFreedom

* Defend Our Gun Rights

* Abolish Abortion in Texas

*BanDemocratChairs

Let’sstartwiththegood news The session did produce some results on important issues, particularly in the categories of sexualization and gender modificationofchildren.

Passing Strong Legislation Against Sexualizing Kids

quite a show in hearings andatprotests.And on the House floor, the author of its companion bill calmly but thoroughly stood off a series of 19 attempts to amendandwaterdownthe legislation. In the end, the House voted 92-48 to approveit.

At our colleges and universities, female athleteswillnolongerhave to compete against males identifying as females, since the passage of SB 15 that requires students who compete in intercollegiate athletic competitions to do soonthebasisofbiological sex.

View our Ban Gender Modification of Children BillsList.

The issue of Border Security loomed large in Texas as Title 42 officially ended, illegals massed at the Texas border, and National Guardsmen stood inthebreach.Althoughour Speaker of the House claimed the issue as a priority, lawmakers failed to pass meaningful legislation during the regularsession.

The biggest win in this category was likely SB 1070/HB2800,whichbars Texasfromparticipatingin ERiC,acontroversialvoter roll interstate cross check program, thought by many tobevulnerabletoissuesof data security and partisan access to voter data. The bill almost didn’t make it, having been withdrawn by its own author after Speaker Phelan accepted a Point of Order With a backed-up work schedule, the Point of Order tactic was used regularly in this sessiontosendbillsbackto committee where they typicallywouldrunoutthe clockanddie.

However, this bill was saved by objections from outraged voters who contacted their legislators a n d c o m m i t t e e members The bill was returned promptly to the floorforafavorablevote.

Other election integrity billsthatpassed:

SB 1933 authorizes the Secretary of State to conduct random election audits in smaller counties withrecurringproblems.

SB 1661 prohibits the state from buying or using scannersunlesstheycanbe used only as storage devices, cannot be overridden, nor have the dates changed once entered.

HB 5180 requires the general public be able to view anonymously voted ballots, cast vote records, andballotimageswithin61 daysofanelection.

Parental Rights and SchoolChoiceSuffer

There was only one significant bill on our list for Defending Our Gun Rights, but it was a very important one and it passed.

The International Organization for Standardization recently issued a code to be used to identify firearms and ammunition purchases, signaling a potential intent to create a registry for firearms owners, useful to

Althoughitwasnotone of the eight priorities selectedbydelegatestothe TexasGOPconvention,the issue of property tax relief is a very important one to Texas residents. It was not resolved in the regular session, so Governor Abbott called a special session on May 29 to address property tax relief. Visit the Legislative Alerts page on our website for details on where we stand on this issue and the general progress of our specialsessions.

Celebrating Victories, ContinuingtheFight

When Speaker Dade Phelan seemed to balk at the very first legislative priority of Texas Republicans, Ban Democrat Chairs by immediately appointingnineDemocrats as committee chairs, there was a sense this session would be a huge fight. While there is still much to do, we must applaud the efforts of our conservative legislators who overcame many obstacles to get their bills passed.

Governor Abbott Announces Special Session Agenda Including BorderSecurity
Operation Lone Star continues to fill the dangerous gaps left by the Biden Administration's refusaltosecuretheborder Every individual who is apprehended or arrested and every ounce of drugs seized would have otherwise made their way into communities across E C E N T HIGHLIGHTS FROM OPERATION LONE STAR:
Other bills in this category including constitutional amendments toprotectourrightstoraise our own children and another to protect parents’ rights to direct our children’s education, were left unaddressed. Among them was the School Choice Bill, SB 8, which was controversial among parents who like the concept, but distrust the process and have concerns about government control That bill is expectedtobeaddressedin aspecialsession.
Border Security Sees Losses
Only two of the priority bills followed by the MCRP Legislative Committeemadeitthrough the House gauntlet, but both were killed by parliamentary procedures before making it to the Governor'sdesk.Governor Abbott immediately called a special session of the Texas Legislature on May 29 with the very narrow border security focus of legislation "solely for the purpose of increasing or enhancingthepenaltiesfor certain criminal conduct involvingthesmugglingof persons or the operation of astashhouse."
