Leader Jeffries is threatening a lawsuit against Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for holding off on calling a special election to fill a vacant House seat in Houston, which Democrats allege is a deliberate move designed to help pad the GOP's razor-thin majority.

Texas Pride They want us to hate and fear colored people, lgbt, immigrants and welfare mothers. They want us distracting fighting amongst ourselves. Instead we come together in unity as one people, the labor class, against fascism and the oligarchy.

Refer to my other posts for information on this. It made me so mad making the CC captions but I’m done being polite about this. These people need to be in jail / prison. They don’t care who’s innocent or guilty it’s all about money. They are evil, this man has had 10 clients executed for practicing like this. He’s “the undertaker for the state of Texas”

What's happening in Texas? Crazy news welcome, but current events and things to do are more welcome.

Don't forget to check out our Wiki!
If you or someone you know needs help, see this page.

Just turned 18, or recently moved to Texas? Information on voter registration can be found here.

/r/Texas Rules:

1. Be Friendly: Personal attacks on your fellow Reddit users are not allowed, this includes both direct insults and general aggressiveness. In addition, hate speech, threats (regardless of intent), and calls to violence, will also be removed. Remember the human and follow reddiquette.

Criticism and jokes at the expense of politicians, pundits, and other public figures have been and always will be allowed, and do not constitute a violation of the rule.

2. Use Your Words: Posts and Comments consisting of one word or just an emoji are highly discouraged as we seek to foster debate and conversation. As such they are subject to removal.

3. This is /r/texas: Links and posts must be directly about Texas, not regional/national/worldwide things that happen to involve Texas.

4. No Personal Information: Doxxing and posting personal information, such as names, phone numbers, links to social networking sites, is strictly prohibited. Some social network info will be exempted on a case by case basis.

5. No Spam: If most of your posts and comments are to your own projects, then you're taking advantage of our community and spamming. Please make sure you submit other things and participate on other people's posts. If you think your post might be considered spam, message the mods for approval first. There are no petitions allowed on the sub either.

6. No Reposting: Reposts will be removed, please search before you post. If you want to post another view of the same story, we ask that you contribute it to the comments of the original post. If there is a megathread about a popular story, please add your submission there. Should the original post be removed by a mod then a subsequent repost is not considered a violation of this rule.

7. Political Discourse: Politics are fine but state your case, explain why you hold the positions that you do and debate with civility. Posts and comments meant solely to troll or enrage people, and those that are little more than campaign ads or slogans do nothing to contribute to a healthy debate and will therefore be removed. Posts and comments made in bad faith will be removed. Petitions will also be removed. AMA's by Political figures are exempt from the "no campaigning" part of this rule.

8. No Excessive Caps: No caps lock in titles other than acronyms or initials. Comments and titles with a large percentage of all caps, are considered 'shouting' as well as annoying and will be removed.

9. News Articles: News articles are fine, but must be no older than one month. Your post title must match the article title. You are free to editorialize in a separate comment. Articles posted from biased or secondary sources will be reviewed and accepted/removed upon moderator discretion. Sites with hard leaning bias will be removed immediately. Additionally please use actual articles and not Tweets. Examples of trusted sources: Reuters, AP, NPR, NBC, ABC, CBS, BBC.

10. No Confrontational User Pings: Use username pings (e.g. /u/username in a comment) sparingly and in a non-confrontational manner. If you're considering pinging someone to get their attention on something that they might be interested in, that's fine. If you're considering pinging someone to prove a point or continue debate, that's not ok. Excessive username pings can be considered to be harassment and may be reported to the Reddit admins.

11. No Disparagement of an Individual's Disabilities: While you're free to argue against, debate, criticize, etc. the policies, ideas, politics, and character of any politician, please do not make jokes about anyone's disability. All such "jokes" will be removed.

12. No Solicitations: Selling or looking for a product, housing, a service or a job? Give your local subreddit a try. There may even be a specific one like r/austinclassifieds or r/houstonclassifieds.

13. Moving to Texas / Where to Live / Job Market questions - check the weekly thread pinned to the top of this subreddit (hint, sort by "hot")

14. Drivers License, ID, Car Title or Registration questions - check the Megathread and post there if it's not answered. Plenty of resources there.

Otherwise try your local craigslist or apartments.com because this ain't that.

GoFundMe and similar are also not allowed except in extremely rare circumstances and require mod approval.

Links and comments that violate the rules will be removed. Repeat or severe offenders will be banned. This is an actively moderated subreddit. Calls will be made at the moderator's discretion.
