Speaker @DadePhelan left a meeting in a huff with @GovAbbott and me last night, killing the largest property tax cut in history by demanding an appraisal cap for business commercial properties that most business associations don’t even want. When asked how this new cap would be

Factoid: Texas has about 12.2 million head of cattle, the most in America. I met with the Texas Cattle Feeders and Cattle Raisers this week. Out of curiosity, I asked each of them their favorite cut of meat. A few said New York Strip. I asked why we didn’t call it a “Texas

Mr. Speaker, you have become nothing more than hot air. You can peddle your nonsense all day but the truth is your version of HB4 does not require fingerprints or a background check of anyone detained. That means you don't know who you are sending back to the port of entry. If

I just left the funeral of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray. Her alleged killers, both here illegally, with one actually wearing an ankle monitor given to him by the federal government, are charged with brutally murdering her last week. Jocelyn’s family was shocked any bail was

It has been 1 year, 5 months, and 16 days since I called for an audit of all impeachment spending by the Texas House and Senate. I promptly turned over the Senate’s records to the State Auditor right after the trial. Former Speaker Dade Phelan failed to comply with the audit
