Reps. Hunter, Burrows and Speaker Phelan Control Fate of Top Priority Bills Protecting Children in Texas Legislature

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and the 19 Republican State Senators have done a terrific job in passing legislation to protect children from sexualization by pedophiles. These bills must now pass the Texas House and be signed by Gov. Abbott to become law. They should be passed promptly. This would set a nationwide standard on how Christians and conservatives can take back our country from the wicked, woke, atheistic, perverted, Communist Democrats.

Their passage depends upon the actions of Rep. Todd Hunter and Rep. Dustin Burrows. Speaker Phelan has the ultimate say whether a bill will be brought up for a vote.

If Speaker Phelan lets the House vote on these bills, then they will pass. The Republicans hold an 83-67 majority.

This Texas legislative session ends May 29. There are only 29 days left in the session.
