TNM Sets Its Legislative Targets for the 89th Texas Legislative Session

With the 89th Legislative Session under way, the Texas Nationalist Movement set its sights on a slate of bills that advance the political, cultural, and economic independence of Texas. The Texas Independence Referendum Act remains its primary focus, but it is championing several other measures as well.

The movement is backing the Texas Sovereignty Act, which would create a committee to evaluate federal actions for their constitutionality and let the state treat those found unconstitutional as null and void, along with a set of bills barring international bodies such as the World Health Organization, the United Nations, and the World Economic Forum from exercising jurisdiction in Texas.

It is also supporting legislation to recognize a gold and silver-backed currency, a step toward sound money beyond federal control, and bills to protect Texas monuments, including the Alamo Cenotaph, from removal or alteration without legislative approval. Each measure, the movement argued, strengthens Texas self-government and lays groundwork that a future Republic would rely on.
