HB 956 a Direct Attack on Parental Rights

2023-05-10T21:29:20+00:00

The Texas Legislative session continues to have plenty of action on the parental rights front! A few weeks ago, the Family Freedom Project (FFP) gave testimony in the Texas House Juvenile Justice and Family Issues (JJFI) against HB 956 which is a broad and direct attack on the fundamental rights of parents to raise their children as they see fit. The bill is now officially dead in the Texas House, as it has missed the deadline to receive a vote on the house floor. This bill has been filed every session for more than a decade with the purpose [...]

Update on Parental Rights Constitutional Amendments

2023-04-28T18:44:01+00:00

By Tim Lambert With so much going on in the legislature to do with parental rights, I have dubbed this Texas Legislative Session the Parental Rights Session. I call it that because many bills that are being filed and heard are related to the fundamental, God-given right of parents to raise their children as they see fit. Another evidence of that is the fact that several Texas Constitutional Amendments have been filed and are moving in both the Texas House and Senate. The process for amending the Texas Constitution requires the support of ⅔ of both the Texas House and [...]

On April 13, House Bill 730 was voted out of committee in the Texas House after receiving a positive hearing the week before. The bill provides extensive pro-family reforms to Child Protective Services (CPS) investigative procedures. The bill received a very positive reception, which is promising news for Texas families and children. CPS is a governmental agency tasked with the responsibility of investigating and intervening in cases of child abuse and neglect. The agency has the authority to remove children from their homes if they believe that the child's safety and welfare are at risk. However, CPS's investigative procedures have been [...]

Halfway Through the Legislative Session, We Are Making Progress

2023-03-31T20:20:50+00:00

We have officially passed the halfway point of the 88th Texas Legislative Session. The deadline for filing bills has come and gone – at the forefront of bills filed concerns parental choice in education. The Family Freedom Project is prioritizing a constitutional amendment that would protect the right of parents to make decisions for their children, including in the realm of education. Through our sister organization, the Texas Home School Coalition (THSC), we are also prioritizing a constitutional amendment that would specifically protect homeschools and private schools from state regulation. This is the year of parental rights in the Texas Legislature. [...]
