I was saddened to learn today of the passing of Gary Fickes. He was one of the first “political big wigs” I met when I first got involved in politics, and I always appreciated his leadership and his friendship. Gary was wise, humble, and devoted to his family and our community. He served the people of Northeast Tarrant County with dedication - this is how I’ll remember him - a big smile, making our area better. We’ll miss him.
Big news from Governor Abbott’s office today — and important work ahead for Texas!
First, my heart goes out to all the Texans impacted by the devastating floods in the Hill Country. I’m glad to see we’re stepping up not only with immediate relief but with real action to prevent tragedies like this in the future.
Governor Abbott’s Special Session proclamation includes strong, conservative priorities that I fully support and look forward to working on. Some highlights:
✅ Relief & Recovery: Funding for Hill Country flood recovery, flood warning systems, better disaster prep & response.
✅ Education: Eliminating the STAAR test and replacing it with better ways to measure student success.
✅ Taxes: Cutting property taxes by reducing the burden on Texans and limiting spending.
✅ Protecting Kids: Banning hemp-derived products for kids under 21, shielding kids from THC.
✅ Pro-Life: Further protections for unborn children.
✅ Law & Order: Backing law enforcement privacy, cracking down on human trafficking, stronger protections against title & deed fraud.
✅ Government Reform: Banning taxpayer-funded lobbying, empowering the Attorney General to prosecute election crimes, and tackling redistricting.
✅ Water & Infrastructure: Incentives for water projects, and improvements for our state judicial department.
I’m excited to head back down to Austin and get to work delivering on these priorities for Texas families.
Let’s get this done!

I am SO glad to be back home. We had a great session and I'm excited to give everyone an update on what we did - for the state and for hd98. Just these past few days I've been honored to speak to the Grapevine Chamber, the Southlake Rotary Club, the Bella Vista Estates HOA, Milestone Bible Study group and even gave a legislative update at the Bear Creek Bible Church. We have many more events planned and looking forward to seeing everyone soon.
