This list is not all-inclusive. We will continue to support bills that align with our core values and oppose those that do not. TTP will have activists at the Capitol every Tuesday during session, and other days as the schedule dictates. We encourage citizens from all parts of Texas to join us in these efforts. For those who have not done it before, we’re happy to teach and guide you through the process, and show you the ropes. For questions about these priorities, or weekly visits to the Capitol, please contact Fran Rhodes, President, [email protected].
