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.

We have officially passed the halfway point of the 88th Texas Legislative Session.
