I would say governor Abbott's appointment of Geoffrey Puryear to the 460th district court bench is oppressive. I highly doubt President Houston would be proud of that.

God Bless Texas!

When will you hold Abbott accountable for his efforts at banana-republic dictatorship? If the Texas GOP and Texas Legislature doesn't vote to push for Abbott's impeachment due to violating the Texas Constitution with his rule-by-fiat executive orders, then (other than for Trump) there's no reason to vote Republican anymore.... #ImpeachGregAbbott #BananaRepublicDictator #GeneralSantaAbbott #EndAbbottsReign #KimJongAbbott #NotMyDictator #SpecialSessionNOW #NoContactTracingEver #DoNotComply #OpenTexasNOW

We voted on an proposition last spring for all hunting and fishing license money to go to the Parks and wildlife.

Where is TP&W getting this money? The State is broke.
