Thank you, TSRA Members, for all your calls and emails in support of these bills during this year's extremely successful legislative session. Your actions make a difference!
The TSRA PAC Legislative Team has been in Austin monitoring the first and second special sessions. While a handful of firearms-related bills have been filed, none are expected to receive consideration. Attention will soon turn to the 2026 Texas Primary Elections, and TSRA will begin evaluating where candidates stand on issues of importance to gun owners and sportsmen.
