I'm announcing plans to file legislation to REPEAL SB2420, which moves Texas closer to UK-style online surveillance and CCP social credit scores...
And I'm asking Gov @GregAbbott_TX
for an immediate special session to pass it, along with other conservative priorities that failed this year.
FULL LETTER BELOW:
Governor Abbott,
Since the 89th session, including the special sessions, was a liberal trainwreck, I sent you a letter dated September 4, 2025 asking you to call the legislature back for a special session for the following purposes:
1)Put Texas on a path to eliminate property taxes, cut taxes significantly and immediately, and make all property tax hikes illegal unless approved by the voters
2)Stop all taxpayer funding of DEI, LGBTQ indoctrination, and liberal Hollywood
3)Ban all taxpayer funded lobbying
4)End corporate welfare
5)Repeal all excessive spending increases from the previous bloated budget
I have not heard back from your office, so I am resending it in the event that the original letter did not make it to your desk.
Also, I am now requesting you add an additional item: LEGISLATION TO REPEAL SB 2420.
Texas should be leading the fight against digital IDs, UK-style online surveillance, and CCP inspired social credit scores. Yet, indefensibly, even as conservative leaders like Donald Trump Jr. and others warned against this specific bill, which takes Texas closer to all these dystopian and tyrannical policies, it was passed by the House and Senate, and you did not veto it.
I will be filing legislation to repeal it as soon as we are back in session, but, unless you call us back, we will not be in session again for a full year after this privacy destroying law goes into effect.
While proponents of this bill say it is only about “protecting children” from obscenity, that is simply not true. Texas already has laws on the book to address that issue, and this bill has no limitations restricting its applicability only to minors or to adult content. Instead, all Texas adults will be subjected to this big government, nanny state legislation.
SB 2420 grows government, takes options away from parents, and opens the door to surveillance, data abuse, and censorship.
Apparently Texas leaders need a reminder that there is no limit to the amount of tyranny that can be justified in the name of “protecting the children,” and that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing back from you.
No, I believe the road to hell is paved with shekels. The kind that comes from the tech lobbies that will ultimately b benefit from a digital surveillance state.
Need to include removal of RealID in TX drivers licenses.
Great idea I like it.

He didn’t veto it… did he sign it into law?
Is pocket veto a thing in Texas or no?
Governor Abbott did not veto Texas law SB 2420; he signed it into law, and it will take effect on January 1, 2026
Not good news at all. What Republican lawmakers passed this thing? Sounds like they need to be primaried out.
"The road to hell is pav d with good intentions."
No, I believe the road to hell is paved with shekels. The kind that comes from the tech lobbies that will ultimately b benefit from a digital surveillance state.
