If we want lower costs, permitting reform has to be part of the conversation.
It impacts energy, infrastructure, and how quickly projects get done.

Healthcare accessibility & affordability!
It’s a problem today that’s getting ready to get a whole lot bigger if not addressed soon.
So glad to sit beside @RepNateMoran and bring those on the front lines to share problems and solutions that @TexasAFP / @AFPhq and congress can utilize as we work towards a better #PersonalOption
In the healthcare debate, rural America must remain front of mind especially when it comes to affordability and access.
Thank you, @RepNateMoran, for joining our roundtable discussion in Atlanta, TX.

But I was assured that ESA’s were only for the rich. #txlege
Texas private school vouchers will likely go only to low-income students or students with disabilities because the demand is far higher than the available supply, officials say. statesman.com/politics/texas…

Another great day with the @GalvCoTx commissioners court and @GovAbbottPress talking about property tax reform.
Proud to have launched @TexasAFP Lone Star Property Tax Reform Council with these founding members. We’re at 50 local elected officials already in just 4 weeks.
These leaders are stepping up and working to lower property taxes and showing it’s possible at the local level… for 15 years in a row.
Governor @GregAbbott_TX joined Galveston County Commissioners to highlight his property tax proposal that will help Texans stop local governments from hiking property taxes.
The Galveston County Commissioners unanimously voted to support the Governor's property tax relief plan

Gotta love seeing @GregAbbott_TX and @TexasAFP @gcollinstx teaming up to bring BIG property tax reform to Texas.
Even better - they’re recruiting local governments to support reform as they go! I’ve never seen anything like it.

Thank you, Speaker @Burrows4TX, for including HB 24, SB 15, & SB 840 in the interim charges to monitor proper implementation!
These landmark housing reforms are already working & will need to be strengthened further next session!

And don’t forget that last year, Sept 8, 2025, the Plano City Council RAISED PROPERTY TAX RATES by 4.34%
Not enough housing units being built , declining student populations and increased property taxes… no wonder families are looking North to Frisco/Prosper
fox4news.com/news/plano-prop…
🚨 TODAY @dcexaminer: @cityofplanotx IS PRICE GOUGING YOUNG FAMILIES OUT OF EXISTENCE 🚨
#TXLege passed SB 15 & SB 840 to build more homes and cut red tape.
Plano’s response? Straight-up defiance:
❌Minimum height rules ONLY on apartments (not offices)
❌Forced expensive LEED certification on new housing
❌Extra open-space mandates that kill small-lot starter homes
All designed to make housing MORE expensive 💸💸💸and scare off developers.
RESULT: “Plano ISD reports that enrollment peaked at approximately 55,700 students in 2012 but had fallen to about 47,800 by 2024. The median home sale price in Plano rose from roughly $292,000 in 2015 to around $584,000 in 2026.”

Saddened to hear of the passing of Chuck Norris.
He was a true legend who never wavered in his commitment to faith, freedom, and the values that make this country strong.
Chuck understood something important and stated it often: it’s people—not government—who are granted power by God to make a difference in the world.
He lived that truth, boldly defending our constitutional freedoms and never shying away from what he believed.
His legacy as an actor, martial artist, and devoted American will continue to inspire generations.

Texas has lost a legend.
All of Texas mourns the passing of Chuck Norris. He was not only a martial arts champion, action icon, and the one and only Walker, Texas Ranger. But he electrified generations of conservatives. Giving them a passion and voice to fight for the principles that make America the greatest nation on earth.
He embodied the toughness, grit, and patriotism that makes Texas supreme.
Rest in peace, Chuck.

It is with great personal sadness that I’ve learned my friend and American Icon Chuck Norris has passed away.
Chuck, his wife Gena, and I go back many years. Chuck was one of the first people to endorse me when I ran for the Texas Senate in 2007. Chuck was a committed Christian and a rock-solid conservative.
In 2017, he and Gena had lunch with me at the Capitol on my birthday. They sang happy birthday to me. I asked Chuck to cut the cake. He did it only as Chuck Norris would. Our joke was that Chuck could cut the birthday cake with a karate chop and not get icing on his hand.
He was a true American success story. Injured in South Korea in the military, he took up martial arts to help heal. Later, he trained movie stars in martial arts. Steve McQueen told him he should be an action star. The rest is history.
He became one of the most famous and most recognized people in the world. His martial art movies, and Walker, Texas Ranger, were popular worldwide.
He was one of the finest people I’ve ever met. He was the best of the best in every way. He started the “Kickstart Kids” program in Texas schools that taught kids the discipline of martial arts. He loved those kids.
I asked him once what his favorite Chuck Norris joke was (he loved those), and he said, “When the boogie man goes to sleep at night, he’s afraid Chuck Norris is in the closet.”
I don’t cry often, but today is an exception. I will miss him, everyone who knew him will miss him, and so will his millions of fans.
I love you, Chuck! Please keep Gena and the Norris Family in your prayers.
