Safer Texas
Texas has always been a law-and-order state, and we must keep it that way. In the 87th Legislative Sessions, we ensured that our law enforcement officers will have the support and resources they need to keep Texans safe by:
- Fortifying our efforts to secure our border and expanding efforts to crack down on human trafficking and drug smuggling.
- Preventing cities from defunding the police.
- Providing law enforcement with tools and training to ensure the safety that their communities deserve.
- Enhancing public safety protections.
- Reforming a flawed bail system to keep dangerous criminals off our streets.
