2024 RPT Legislative Priorities

1. Border Enforcement - To repel invasion and deter illegal immigration:


  • Creating a Texas Department of Homeland Security to prevent illegal entry and trafficking, and ​to deport illegal aliens to Mexico or to their nations of origin.
  • Prohibiting, with mandatory fines and jail time, individuals, corporations, non-profits, ​governments, and social media entities from assisting or inciting illegal entry.
  • Requiring the use of E-Verify by all employers in Texas with significant penalties for business ​owners who violate this requirement.
  • Ending all subsidies and public services, including in-state college tuition and enrollment in ​public schools, for illegal aliens, except for emergency medical care.


2. Secure Texas Elections - Securing elections from each citizen’s registration to the final count of ​legal votes by:


  • Requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote.
  • Requiring the Counties and the Secretary of State to update the voter rolls at least quarterly.
  • Requiring a mandatory photo ID for every election, without exception.
  • Restricting mail-in ballots to disabled, military, and eligible citizens who are out of their county ​for the entire voting period.
  • Using only hand-marked, sequentially numbered paper ballots on anti-counterfeiting paper that ​are signed on the back by the election official at the voting location.
  • Standardizing in-person voting, with early voting limited to a period of no longer than nine (9) ​days, no gap before Election Day, and assigned-precinct voting locations only.
  • Counting ballots in precinct using a dumb-scanner method as soon as the ballot is returned by ​the voter and with publication of the results prior to submission to the County.
  • Closing party primaries for only registered Republicans.
  • Explicitly codifying the ability of the Attorney General to prosecute violations of the Election ​Code.
  • Removing existing Secretary of State waivers to comply with current Election Code.

3. Stop Sexualizing Texas’ Kids - Stopping the sexualization of minors, which leads to abuse, ​exploitation, and trafficking, by:


  • Prohibiting taxpayer funding to any entities that permit or promote sexually inappropriate content to ​minors and legislatively banning instruction on sexual orientation and gender ideology in schools and ​libraries.
  • Repealing affirmative defenses in Texas Penal Code (43.24, 43.25) and redefining “harmful materials” ​to remove loopholes provided by the modified Miller Test.
  • Establishing an independent Inspector General for Education to investigate fraud, waste, abuse, and ​criminal conduct within schools and refer findings to prosecutorial authorities.
  • Compelling superintendents to report sex crimes within schools to outside law enforcement and ​removing immunity from civil liability for schools and their employees.


4. No Democrat Chairs - The Republican-controlled Texas Legislature shall end the practice of awarding ​committee chairmanships to Democrats and require all committees to be majority Republican.


5. Ban Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying - Prohibiting all forms of taxpayer-funded lobbying, including the use ​of tax dollars to hire lobbyists and payment of tax dollars to associations that lobby the Legislature.


6. Secure the Electric Grid - Securing the integrity of Texas electricity production and delivery of ​abundant, reliable, and resilient energy, ensuring that the Texas grid can withstand any natural or ​manmade threat to include weather, cyber, physical, electromagnetic pulse (EMP), and geomagnetic ​disturbances (GMD).


7. Texas is Not for Sale - Banning the sale of real property in Texas, and discontinuing taxpayer funding ​and incentives, to governments, entities, and proxies of China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia, and to ​individuals from these nations who are not legal permanent residents or citizens of the United States.


8. End Federal Overreach - Resisting unconstitutional federal acts and mandates that restrict ​transportation, including mandatory kill switches in vehicles, road diets, and restrictions on the owner’s ​right to repair vehicles and equipment. Ensuring that Texans have medical freedom and can give or ​withhold consent for any vaccine or medical treatment without coercion, are not discriminated against ​based on vaccine status, and are not faced with any vaccine or medical mandate by public or private ​entities.
