OTHER VICTORIES:

PROPERTY TAX RELIEF

Eliminating property taxes—so that Texans can finally own their homes outright—remains my top priority. My very first bill filed was to fully eliminate M&O taxes, the largest portion of your property tax bill. This session, the state budget (Senate Bill 1) dedicated $51 billion to local property tax compression—an $11.2 billion increase from the previous biennium, representing 15% of the entire budget. We delivered meaningful relief, but we must finish the job and end the property tax system once and for all.

89th Session Recap

I filed House Bill 250 to shine a light on local taxing and spending decisions, and to help protect taxpayers from being burdened by unsustainable growth in government budgets. Texans deserve to know where their money is going, and to trust that their local governments are not taxing them out of their homes.

Property Taxes Keep Rising—Here Is What I Am Doing About It

If we truly want to solve this problem, we must focus on local government spending, where most property tax burdens originate. That’s why in the upcoming special session, I am filing the Truth in Taxation Act—a bill that forces full transparency and public accountability when local governments try to raise your property taxes. Under this act, if a city, county, or taxing district wants to raise more revenue than the previous year, they must notify taxpayers, hold a public hearing, and get voter approval before the higher rate takes effect.

HB 9 by Meyer: Personal Property Tax Exemption Increase (Isaac Co-author) – exempts up to $125,000 of business personal property from property taxes, cutting taxes for small businesses and reducing reporting burdens.

Prioritizes eliminating property taxes, including maintenance and operations taxes.

BAIL REFORM

Victories passed

SJR 5 by Huffman/Smithee (Isaac Co-sponsor) – proposes a constitutional amendment to allow judges to deny bail for certain serious felony offenses—like murder, aggravated assault, or trafficking—unless prosecutors prove that releasing the defendant wouldn't pose a public safety risk or risk of flight. It aims to tighten pretrial release rules by requiring clear and convincing evidence before granting bail and is set to go before Texas voters in November 2025.

SB 706 by Schwertner/Isaac – is a common-sense legislation, ensuring that law-abiding visitors with valid out-of-state handgun licenses will not fear being criminalized and may carry in Texas under the same standards as residents. It upholds Second Amendment rights, promotes reciprocity, enhances public safety, and boosts our economy.

HB 1794 by Rep. Tepper (Isaac Co-Author) – which allows for the carrying of concealed handguns by concealed license holders at polling locations on election day or early voting.

HB 1128 by Rep. Isaac – Allows for election judges to carry concealed handguns at polling places, to increase the safety of the judges and the people who go to vote.

HB 4076 Rep Leach/Sen Kolkhorst (Isaac Co-author) – Prohibits discrimination against organ transplant recipients based on their COVID-19 vaccination status, ensuring equal treatment regardless of whether they are vaccinated.

HB 1586 Rep Hull/Sen Kolkhorst (Isaac Co-author) – Creates an exemption from required immunizations for school enrollment, allowing certain students to attend school without mandatory vaccines.

HB 229 by Rep. Troxclair: Women’s Bill of Rights/What Is A Woman? Bill (Isaac Co-author) – This common sense bill establishes a legal definition of biological sex in Texas government code and mandates that all governmental entities collecting vital statistics or other data related to sex must classify individuals strictly as either “male” or “female” based on biological reproductive capacity, particularly in claims of discrimination.

Opposes abortion rights, describing herself as “100% pro-life.”

ENSURE A QUALITY EDUCATION

Stop “critical race theory” and liberal indoctrination in our schools

EDUCATION

Victories passed

SB 2 by Chair Creighton/Chair Buckley: ESA/School Choice Bill (Isaac Co-sponsor) – This bill establishes a statewide Education Savings Account (ESA) program, making Texas the home of the largest first-day launch of an ESA program in the country. The bill allows eligible students to receive public funding—up to $10,000 per student per year, with an additional $1,500 for students with disabilities—to use for approved educational expenses such as private school tuition, instructional materials, online courses, and educational therapies. As a result, parents have greater control over their child’s education, choosing the best educational environment—public, private, charter, or home-based—for their needs.

HB 6 by Leach: The Teacher's Bill of Rights (Isaac Co-author) – Gives authority back to teachers over their classrooms by revising the disciplinary processes and procedures when classroom disruptions occur. It increases safety mechanisms to support classrooms, Texas students, and Texas educators.

At the end of the day, this issue is about more than a display on a classroom wall. It is about reaffirming the moral and historical foundations of our state and nation. I am proud to have helped pass SB 10! The Ten Commandments remind us that freedom and faith are inseparable and that the values which unite us are stronger than the forces trying to divide us.

Dripping Springs and Comal Parents Sue to Block Ten Commandments: Time to Restore Moral Clarity in Texas Classrooms

In an ongoing effort to support our local schools, I recently collaborated with Moms for Liberty in both Hays and Comal Counties, along with the wonderful organization 1000 Voices, to obtain and distribute 870 posters displaying the 10 Commandments for our classrooms. I purchased these posters as part of my commitment to strengthening values-based education in our communities.

Diversifying our water portfolio is also essential—no single solution will suffice. We need a mix of conventional supplies, reuse, brackish groundwater, desalination, conservation, and new infrastructure.

Texas Water: What Is New, What Is Next

Texas remains firmly committed to protecting private property rights under the rule of capture. At the same time, responsible management through Groundwater Conservation Districts is essential. We are reviewing ways to address unregulated “white areas,” improve district training and consistency, and ensure fair oversight, particularly in rural parts of the state.

SECURE THE BORDER AND KEEP COMMUNITIES SAFE

Implement reforms to ensure a reliable electric grid

HB 14 Rep Harris/Sen Schwertner (Isaac Co-author) – Establishes the Texas Advanced Nuclear Energy Office to promote advanced nuclear reactor development and creates a fund and workforce program to support these efforts.

We must continue protecting homeowners’ rights to plant native and drought-tolerant landscaping, prohibit HOAs from forcing water-intensive lawns, and eliminate costly design requirements that discourage conservation. Publishing county guides to native, drought-resistant plants would help families make smarter choices.

Near-term actions include tightening subdivision approval rules to require proven water availability before platting, tracking regional demand, fixing leaks, expanding monitoring, reforming HOA barriers, and incentivizing rainwater capture.

Advocates for water supplies, including reuse, brackish groundwater, desalination, conservation, and infrastructure.

SB 2753 by Sen. Hall/Rep. Isaac – What began as a single day event involving paper and pencil has evolved into an extended event involving early voting, voting by mail, and in person voting with each method having its own set of processes and procedures. Our quest for convenience in the voting process has caused us to lose trust in the system. To restore trust in elections, the legislation simplifies the voting process and increases election integrity by creating a single, uninterrupted voting period with standardized procedures and consistent equipment. This structure also enhances voter privacy and ensures ballot secrecy, moving beyond the flawed redaction policy currently in place.

Failed to pass

SB 16 by Sen. Hughes/Rep. Isaac – is the election priority bill of the Session. It would require a person to submit proof of citizenship to register to vote.

5. Ban Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

On the call for the first called special session of the 89th Legislature, Governor Abbott added the banning of taxpayer-funded lobbying as a priority issue. I will fight to ban taxpayer-funded lobbying during the special session.

Sponsored Senate Bill 2753, creating a single uninterrupted voting period with standardized procedures and equipment.
