Ep. 42 What’s Happening in Texas? A Legislative Deep Dive with Kathy Ponce

In this episode of Patriots Revival, host Melody Allen sits down with Kathy Ponce, Legislative Committee Chair of the Ellis County GOP, to break down the latest developments in the Texas House and Senate. With over 30 days into the session and no established House committees, the slow start has left many conservatives wondering what’s next for key legislative priorities.

Governor Abbott has laid out his emergency focus areas, including property tax relief, water investments, and bail reform. But with new House rules granting more power to vice chairs and concerns about leadership effectiveness, the road ahead for conservative policies looks challenging. Kathy shares insight into how these changes could impact Texans and why activism is more crucial than ever.

They also discuss two hot-button issues: the ongoing battle over school choice legislation and the growing push for gambling in Texas. With significant opposition and potential amendments on the horizon, both issues require proactive engagement from voters who want to see their values reflected in state policy.

Key Topics Discussed:

✅ The delay in House committee assignments and its impact on legislation.
✅ Governor Abbott’s top priorities: property tax relief, bail reform, and water investments.
✅ How the new House rules affect legislative processes and conservative policies.
✅ School choice – where it stands and why amendments could change everything.
✅ The push for gambling in Texas and what it could mean for communities.
✅ Why grassroots activism matters and how you can get involved.
