My wife’s family helped build Texas. Her ancestor Nancy Boren came here in 1828 and received land in Robertson’s Colony in 1835. Her son, Col. Michael Boren, fought for independence under Sam Houston. Two centuries later, she was replaced by H-1B labor. And when we spoke out publicly about the Texas Workforce Commission, the State sent three police cars to our home. This is how Texas treats the families who founded it. #txlege

YES. “The preferences of the average American appear to have only a miniscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy.” Gilens & Page, Perspectives in Politics cambridge.org/core/journals/…

If these certifications were false, that is fraud against the state and against the people the program was created to help. Who checked? Who signed off? ALL Texans, blue, red, center, should be outraged. The fraud in Texas agencies is out of control!
Just showed this to my wife. She is part Native American, and she is livid. She was laid off, replaced by an H-1B director, and her job was offshored to India. Her family was in Texas before the Republic, through her Native American side and through Nancy Boren, whose family came at Sam Houston’s direct invitation and who started the second school in Texas. They fought and bled for Texas. Contracts meant for Native American businesses should go to Native American businesses. American Indian and Indian American are not the same thing, and Native Americans remain among the poorest communities in this country. If these certifications were false, that is fraud against the state and against the people the program was created to help. Who checked? Who signed off?

Fraudsters use sham staffing firms, forged documents, and fake student records to try to cheat the U.S. visa system. Under President Trump and @SecRubio, the State Department is exposing these schemes, revoking fraudulent visas, and protecting our country from exploitation.

Nope. It was one of the things I wanted and tried to fix. Using AI to cross reference resumes and experience to hiring entities.... my work was stolen of course by those above me. It was mentioned by a state rep as the best idea to come out of the any agency for the use of AI.

Should be a ban against anyone lobbying after any kind of public service, elected or otherwise. It's a corruption risk

I examined seven years of Texas state IT staffing records and found $25.28 MILLION in reported sales was classified under the Native American Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) designation but something doesn’t add up. Here are the companies and the names behind those sales. Steck Systems - $15.35 MILLION. Muralidhar Bandlapalli, former national secretary of ITServe Alliance. Texas procurement records repeatedly classified Steck as American Indian Male. Cynosure Technologies - $6.12 Million. Ramesh Vadlamani and Kiran Dokka. Texas classified Cynosure as Native American-owned. Federal contractor records identify Asian-Pacific American ownership, while a 2020 PPP record lists Asian male ownership. A Hyderabad company also lists Vadlamani as a director. Saiandsai Solutions - $462,758. Aruna Gurijala. The company explicitly affirmed its Texas HUB certification in its own procurement paperwork. I2U Systems - $160,000. Kishanchand Gurusala and Mithila Charakula. Federal registration-derived records list BOTH American Indian-owned and Asian-Indian-owned. The company advertises an office in Andhra Pradesh, India. Two others, Rhyan Technology Services and Verge Information Technologies, account for approximately $3.2 million and have independent records corroborating Native American ownership classifications. Steck and Cynosure alone account for 84.9% of ALL Native American-coded IT staffing sales in the dataset. Yes - Texas eliminated race-based HUB certifications in December 2025, but ending the program doesn’t mitigate historical abuse. American Indian and Indian-American were two DIFFERENT certification categories. How did the state look at an H-1B dependent vendor with Indian staff and not think to challenge their “Native American” HUB status? Who qualified these businesses? Who verified their ownership? Why do some state and federal classifications conflict? Were there really zero validations? Did any of this spending get credited toward Native American HUB participation? Do we have these vendors I-9s? @DonHuffines

Texas taxpayers could face $5 million or more in federal penalties over employment verification failures, according to a preliminary comptroller’s office assessment. Comptroller Don Huffines is calling for ICE to expand the review across Texas government. texasscorecard.com/state/huf…

Needs a fresh look by the new governor. @GinaHinojosaTX Report potential fraud and corruption, discuss a staff sunset report, and comment on hypocrisy towards the disabled by a state agency tasked with helping them, get swatted for it. That's what they did to me.
A Texas state agency reported my public criticism to the state police. Police were sent to my home. Here are the records. On June 18, the Sunset Advisory Commission published its review of the Texas Workforce Commission. Issue 4 is titled "TWC's Poorly Executed IT Modernization Efforts Compromise the Effective Delivery of Workforce and Child Care Services to Texans." The next day I posted a thread quoting it. It included this: "The Legislature should demand accountability from TWC's IT leadership... Public hearing Aug 12. See you there." On June 26, TWC asked the public to help honor "those championing employment for people with disabilities." I replied: "How ironic. The full story will be out soon about how the TWC treats it's own staff with disabilities." That's it. That's the post. On July 7, an employee in TWC's Risk & Security Management unit reported my account to DPS. She "believed the posts on X were becoming more aggressive." She also "believed" the account was mine. A guess. DPS opened a case classified "Threat To Life." Its report calls this "a threat of self-harm against the Texas Workforce Commission," then quotes my post as the threat. On July 10, a DPS agent called my local police non-emergency line and asked for a welfare check at my home. On the recording, he says my statements were on TWC's X page. They weren't. He says a prior welfare check "agitated" me and that I "may just get agitated with another welfare check." He says "his former employer told us." That prior check, in July 2025, was requested by TWC itself, and I believe it was retaliation for speaking out about failures at the TWC. I never spoke to an officer that day. So, how was I "agitated" or "amped up" as described? Everyone knows how those terms are used to put someone in danger during a so called "wellness check." Dispatch logged the call as a Priority 1 suicide threat, with the note "MAY GET AGITATED WITH OFCS." Three units were sent to my home. Fifteen minutes after the call came in, the responding officer wrote: "The post today wasnt an active threat." DPS created its case record the next morning. Its records still list the case as open, with no deadline. No DPS investigator has ever contacted me. Then DPS's lawyers wrote to the Attorney General to keep the records from me: "The investigative report forms the basis of the pending prosecution." I have not been charged with anything. All of this happened while I had a pending federal civil rights charge against TWC, and while TWC was under Sunset review. I had written "See you there" about the Aug 12 hearing. After police came to my door, we didn't go. My wife and I were terrified. Meanwhile, TWC's CIO and a deputy CIO, who oversaw the IT failures Sunset documented, have left on retirement and voluntary-separation codes. Neither was dismissed for cause. Accountability for the IT failures: none. For the critic who quoted the report: police at his door. Read the records. Then ask why a state agency under legislative review sent the police to the home of a man who criticized it. @TX_Sunset @TXWorkforce @loiskolkhorst @LaceyHullTX @CesarJBlanco @DonnaCampbellTX @SenBryanHughes @kevinsparkstx @CharlesTX127 @DonnaHowardTX @AngeliaOrrForTX @MattShaheen @PatrickJCurry1 #txlege #FirstAmendment #FreeSpeech #DisabilityRights #Accountability @andrealucasEEOC @USEEOC @DOLOIG @USLaborIG @FBI @FBIDirectorKash

Former State Senator @DonHuffines hits the nail directly on the head and jams that nail straight through the Texas Republican coffin.

Thank you, sir. We stand with you always. I wish I could have done more to help you save our state from the corruption that has taken hold. My wife asked me to pass along this message: "The Old 300 Remembers." Her ancestors bled for the Texas Republic, and one of them was the one who found the sleeping soldiers at San Jacinto. Today, our family feels deeply betrayed by the weak and corrupt leadership that allowed this disaster to happen. Like you, we will never give up on Texas. #txlege
Patriots, On November 3rd, 2026, the leftists took Texas in a wave election that swept the country, the consequences of which will last generations. First, it is important to recognize my perfect wife, Mary Catherine, my partner in 39 years of blissful marriage, our five children, and our 12 grandchildren. I thank the leanest, hardest-working campaign team in Texas politics. I am so incredibly humbled by the millions of Texans who supported this campaign and believed in me. My work is for them. We won a crushing landslide in the primary and worked nonstop every single day since. I personally spent millions of dollars on this campaign, a huge percentage of a net worth that took over 40 years of hard work and sacrifice to accumulate. Don't shed a tear for Don Huffines. I had a great life before this campaign, and I will have a great life after it. I am not sad for myself, and I am not losing any sleep over an election. I am sad for the Texans who do not want to be slaves to their government. They just want to live their lives in freedom, knowing their leaders are strong and courageous. I am extremely humbled and honored to have served as Texas Comptroller, because of your support and the appointment by Governor Abbott. On August 1, 2026, I was sworn in, rejected all pay and benefits, and went straight to work bringing a private-sector mindset and incredible sense of urgency to Texas government. A full list of the Huffines Administration's accomplishments will be shared at the end of my term, as there is still much to come. For two years, at more than 500 events in every corner of this state, I warned that when Texas goes, so goes the nation. I campaigned on a simple message: 'AUDIT government. EXPOSE corruption. It's YOUR money.' I could not wait to clean out the garage, because I knew that if Republicans did not clean it out ourselves, the Democrats would use it to flip Texas blue. It turns out we were already out of time. Texas is the foundation of the national Republican Party, and now the foundation is broken. What the Huffines Administration accomplished in the first 100 days is unprecedented, and it barely scratched the surface of what I had planned. I inherited an incomprehensible mess. Sadly, the agency had not been touched since the 1990s: rife with fraud, waste, and abuse, and leaderless. Frankly, besides the reforms we made, the Democrats will find this agency and every other state agency exactly how they left them decades ago. And that tells you why Republicans lost Texas. The leftists will continue to grow government, drive up the cost of living, and rebuild the government school monopoly, chaining Texas families to failing schools with no way out. And of course, they will continue to whittle away at our virtue by replacing God with government. I am not saying any of this out of bitterness, but because we must understand our ideas did not lose on Election Day. Our failure to deliver on them did. We did this to ourselves. For 25 years, Republicans controlled everything in this state while Texans got crushed on affordability: property taxes, insurance, housing, and electricity. In Texas, you never really own your home or your land. You rent your property from the government, and the rent goes up every year. The administrative state grew unchecked, and fraud, waste, and corruption went unpunished. The Republican Party has the solutions, but our leadership lacked the courage to act. The grassroots begged, were ignored, and got basically nothing. Our officials governed from the mushy middle: desperate to stay in power, desperate for the prestige and approval of elitists and lobbyists. They served up the same stale, overcooked rhetoric instead of a bold, unified Texas First Agenda. How do you campaign on a promise you have been making for 12 years? Florida had strong leadership and survived this tsunami. Texas had 25 years of gaslighting. Texans are desperate for something different: leaders who are courageous and creative. We need businesspeople who understand risk, solve problems instead of symptoms, and know that our liberty comes from God, not the government, and that government's fundamental role is to defend it. Our culture and heritage are unique, forged with the blood of Texas patriots who understood the value of liberty. This was our political Alamo, and I know you want me to say that San Jacinto is coming. But how, and when? We lost Texas before the new national and state Democrat regimes reopen the Texas border, grant amnesty, and permanently change the demographics of this state. Liberty is fleeting. Every generation must fight for it, and the fight for Texas now belongs to the millions of grassroots patriots who love this state and will never give up on it. Taking the Lone Star State back is imperative, because there is no path for the national Republican Party without Texas. But hear me on this: our hope was never in a party, and it was never in a politician. "Put not your trust in princes." Psalm 146:3. Jesus is the foundation of everything I do, followed by family and business, in that order. We do not know what the future holds, but the Lord knows exactly what He is doing, and we trust Him completely. Christ is King. We will never give up. We will never back down. We will never bend the knee to any man or any government, for any reason. Because this is Texas. For liberty, prosperity, and virtue, always. I love you all. God bless you, and God bless Texas. Comptroller Don Huffines

Here is the post that initiated a swatting attempt on me and my household, during an ACTIVE EEOC COMPLAINT and after whistleblower evidence supplied to a Texas state oversight commission (sunset). Blatant violation of rights, laws. Note, the post was not even remotely as was characterized. @andrealucasEEOC @USEEOC @DOLOIG @DOLOIG @USLaborIG @FBI @TXWorkforce @TX_Sunset @TxDPS @LoisKolkhorst @GinaHinojosaTX @SaraGonzalesTX @CJGRISHAM @TheFIREorg #txlege The post stated, “ championing employment for people with disabilities” How ironic. The full story will be out soon about how the TWC treats it’s own staff with disabilities.” ADA retaliation: the post opposed disability discrimination, and made while an EEOC charge was pending. First Amendment retaliation (Section 1983): speech on a public issue, followed by government action that would chill a person of ordinary firmness, with the report itself quoting the speech as the reason. Texas Penal Code §39.03, official oppression: a public servant who knowingly uses their office to impede someone’s exercise of a right.
