#HD70 asked, and we delivered. Texans will be seeing the largest property tax cut in Texas history soon. Over $51 billion in property tax relief has been allocated in the 2026-2027 state budget, including ✅ Raising the homestead exemption to $140,000 ✅ Raising the homestead exemption for seniors and Disabled Texans to $200,000 ✅$51 billion in property tax relief. I'm proud to coauthor this legislation and provide relief for the thousands of Texans in HD70 who will see an average of $1,000 of tax relief. These measures require a Texas Constitutional amendment and will be on the ballot for voters on November 4th. #TXLege

🌿 TCUP expansion is coming to Texas! I’m proud to be a Joint Author of HB 46, which marks the most significant expansion of the Texas Compassionate Use Program (TCUP) since it was established in 2015 — and officially makes Texas the 40th state in the nation to legalize medical cannabis. Starting Sept. 1, Texans with chronic pain, traumatic brain injury, terminal illness, or in hospice care will finally be eligible for low-level THC treatment when prescribed by a physician — joining those already covered for epilepsy, PTSD, and cancer. HB 46 also expands delivery methods to include lotions, patches, and non-smoked inhalants, and increases the number of dispensing organizations statewide to improve access. Texas’ program is still too limited, but this is real, meaningful progress — and it will change lives. There’s more work to do in the upcoming special session, but today, we celebrate how far we’ve come and I’m so proud to have been a small part of it. 💚 #TXLege #HD70
