5th generation Texan, conservative activist, candidate for TX HD 60
Recruited by Jared Patterson. This is a bad idea but Jared is convincing at times in making people do things that are harmful to themselves but good for him.
Lisa McEntire, a member of the Denton CAD, has filed a CTA to run in HD 64 against @AndyHopperTX. #txlege
If this is true, I hope A&M Chancellor @Glenn_Hegar will shut this down immediately and cooperate fully with ICE! Voters do not want college administrators standing in the way of ICE doing its job. #txlege
Texas A&M University @TAMU sent an email out to faculty and staff to call police if they see ICE.
Texas is so appreciative of the first responders who have worked tirelessly for 10 days now to save many lives! I am also so proud of my friend and colleague @wesvirdelltx for his gallant effort during this heart wrenching period! #txlege
This has been a long 10 days for many people. Starting on July 4th, Kerr County and several other counties were hit hard with a lot of rain and flash floods. I have spent most of my days in the Kerrville area since that morning. We all have been affected in one way or another…

Today, I refiled my bill HB 46 (89 (1)) to ban taxpayer-funded lobbying. I filed this legislation during the regular session because it is an outrageous practice and because it is a top Republican Party of Texas priority! While I was disappointed that it died in the TX House, I…
I am so proud of DPS and the awesome first responders in Texas who gallantly saved a countless number of lives despite horrible conditions!
While the rain was still pouring down, first responders rushed into action in Kerr County. In the air, on the ground and by boat, they rescued several hundred people over several days – some trapped in vehicles, some in flooded homes, even some found clinging to trees miles from…
Thank you @GregAbbott_TX for your quick response!
The State is making rescues in— San Saba Co. Lampasas Co. & Schleicher Co. Evacuations are taking place in Lampasas Co. Menard Co. Kimble Co. & Sutton Co. We are expanding operations in all affected counties— all while monitoring the rising waters in Kerrville.
Prayers, love and perseverance! That’s the Texas I know and believe in! #TexasStrong @GregAbbott_TX
“It was not because it was proposed to establish a new nation, but because it was proposed to establish a nation on new principles, that July 4, 1776, has come to be regarded as one of the greatest days in history.” President Calvin Coolidge commemorating the 150th Anniversary…
Heads Up! Here are the top three stories in Texas that you need to know on July 3rd.
🚨Breaking: Great news for Tom Homan and his efforts to crack down on illegal immigration! Although HR 1 does not cut enough overall spending, it does include the following Big Beautiful gifts for US Citizens: ✅ $46 billion for the border wall ✅ $45 billion for expanded…
My colleagues and I are serious about ending in-state tuition for illegal aliens. Today, we sent a letter to each of the state's university systems warning them that any efforts to circumvent the court's injunction exposes them to legal consequences. America First. #txlege
The United States is blessed to have this amazing God-fearing patriot @SecretaryTurner as our HUD Secretary!
Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Trust in Him and walk the righteous path, the Lord will not lead you astray.
Although he will certainly be missed in the TX House, I strongly endorse @NateSchatzline for TX Senate! Nate is a proven conservative warrior who will be an awesome Senator for District 9.
New: @NateSchatzline announces run for the open SD 9 seat with a bunch of Tarrant County and #txlege endorsements. (Updated from initial press release with a missing precinct chair.)
Thank you @DorazioforTexas and @KeveinDFreemanX for all your hard work to finally get this bill over the finish line! Huge win for financial security! Honored to be a Co-Author! Thanks to @GregAbbott_TX for signing.
Congratulations, Texas! Governor Abbott just signed the “Pirate Money” bill (transactional gold and silver), joining Arkansas, Florida, and Louisiana (soon Missouri). A toast to @DorazioforTexas and @SenBryanHughes, and incredible team of grassroots and conservative leaders.
Thank you @GregAbbott_TX for your veto of SB 974 and all the conservatives who signed the petition on behalf of Texas taxpayers! #txlege
Yesterday, my office delivered a letter to the Governor asking him to Veto SB 974, a bill which would permit school district employees to be on appraisal boards. This constitutes a clear conflict of interest in the process of appraising home values. 41 of my colleagues that…
Great Job Shelley! It was an honor to Co-author HB 3441 with you!
And...@GregAbbott_TX just signed HB 3441 into law! It holds BIG PHARMA accountable if they advertise in Texas!! Thank you, Gov!💪💪💪
It was an honor to serve with you @NateSchatzline ! You provided invaluable leadership!
“The conservative end of the Texas House GOP caucus is anchored by Mike Olcott of Fort Worth, Briscoe Cain of Deer Park, Steve Toth of Conroe, David Lowe of North Richland Hills, Brian Harrison of Midlothian, and Nate Schatzline of Fort Worth.” Proud to be at the top of the list…
