1️⃣ On March 2, 1836, Texas declared independence from centralized control.
Today, we need a different kind of independence — independence from overburdening property taxes, unchecked spending, & regulatory overreach.
That’s why we created the Texas Liberty Compact. 🧵

(🧵1/10) Today, Rep. @JaredLPatterson (R-Frisco) filed HB 212 to ban Texans under 16 from using social media. It brings back last session’s HB 186, which passed the House 116-25 but never got a vote in the full #txlege Senate.

😱 Truly a house of horrors if you see any of these costumes today. Steer clear! #Halloween2026 – at Weatherford, TX
(🧵1/7) Texas’ new #schoolchoice dashboard shows more than 111,000 funded participants, nearly 95,400 applicants waiting, & 60% of funded students classified as low-income.
Demand is clear. Will the 90th #txlege deliver broader access?

(6/) Expanding school choice also requires fixing the funding structure.
If Texas funds education accounts while insulating district funding from enrollment changes, taxpayers can face growing costs.
Education dollars should follow students & their families’ choices. #txlege

(7/7) The 90th Legislature should pursue truly universal school choice, funding that follows students, & clear taxpayer accountability.
Texas families have demonstrated demand. #txlege lawmakers now must decide how broadly educational freedom will be available.

💰🔥 Limiting local spending & debt is one of the most important things Texas can do as part of our Texas Liberty Compact to ensure prosperity for future generations. #txlege

(🧵1/8) Texas is nearly matching California in state and local bonded debt:
👉California: $337 billion
👉Texas: $311 billion
We need to get our fiscal house in order. A reputation for fiscal conservatism means little without spending & borrowing restraint. #txlege
