He emphasized the strength of Texas communities, built upon faith, family, and the basic conservative, common-sense principles Texans have always valued. He also noted that Texas enjoys a time of prosperity other states only dream of.

“We must be vigilant, and stand our ground, guarding against the complacency that could erode everything that we’ve worked so hard to build,” Attorney General Paxton said. “We will remain steadfast in our dedication to principles and values that have made Texas great.”
