Texas Dems Ready Mountain of Anti-Gun, Pro-Abortion, Pro-Drug Bills for Day One
Prepare yourselves, Texans.
In the wake of last Tuesday’s blue wave in the midterm elections, Lone Star State lawmakers appear poised to enact sweeping legislation to make this once-red stronghold a Democratic “paradise.”
On Monday, one user on social media platform X highlighted that the state assembly has a staggering 1,084 bills pre-filed for its next session.
Texas already has 1084 bills pre-filed for the next session.

The list is too long to give in detail here, but some of the more prominent bills include stricter gun laws, marijuana legislation, and new property laws.
Concerningly, the assembly looks to loosen border security.
Under SB 273 calls for “a prohibition on the installation or construction of border security infrastructure on state park property.”

KHOU11-TV brought attention to a few more of those efforts as Democrats want to raise the minimum wage and overturn the state’s abortion ban.
In other words, Texas is about to become a second California.
Who could have imagined this reversal a decade ago?
This was once a safe Republican state.
After Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s loss Tuesday to Democratic challenger Gina Hinojosa along with Attorney General Ken Paxton’s loss in the Senate race to Democrat James Talarico, nothing is a sure thing.
Granted, the state legislature is not completely Democratic as Republicans still have the Senate, but the state is trending blue.
Regarding the border, it is not just in the interest of Texans that the state defends common-sense policies, but the country.
The southern border is largely Texas.
If officials do not want to work to secure it, putting them at odds with the Trump administration, there will be consequences for the entire country.
Should Democrats success persist into 2028, and they take the White House, what will be stopping an invasion of illegal aliens like the one seen during President Joe Biden’s administration?
Texas will become an open door. It will be worse than California.
