#txlege moved needle on property taxes in 2021 but we have unfinished House business for 87(3). Let’s provide REAL tax relief for TX homeowners. TX taxpayers already have a strong bill Lege can work from. https://t.co/6K912epID4 cc: @MorganMeyerTX @DrGregBonnen @TeamBettencourt

The Official State Handgun of Texas: 1847 Colt Walker

Thank you, Governor Abbott, for memorializing this significant bill by taking a picture with the young man that inspired the legislation, my son, James Leman.

State Representative Ben Leman’s statement on the recent developments to the Miles Texas Supreme Court Case:

“The denial of the petition by the Texas Supreme Court to review the Miles Appeal this morning against Texas Central is disheartening, to say the least. ...

[Ben Leman @BenLemanTX]

... I am pleased to hear that the Miles are committed to rehearing this case and I am hopeful for a better outcome as this case continues.”

As long as I am serving in Austin, I will fight to make sure Texas is not the missing link in border security. #txlege #TeamLeman #closetheborder

[Ben Leman @BenLemanTX]

Once again, the federal government has abandoned its responsibility of protecting our border. This session, I voted to put $1.2 billion toward border security. I fully support Gov. Abbott’s call to continue building the wall and barriers to prevent illegal crossings.

1/4

[Ben Leman @BenLemanTX]

Now is the time for Texas to try again in hopes of the new Supreme Court acknowledging the federal government’s gross negligence on border security and empowering states with sensible public safety solutions.

Mission accomplished!

What do those of us in the Ag community that run cattle and cut hay do after session?  Just that …. Glad it is finally drying out where I can now teach my oldest boy, James, to take over cutting the hay!

Time to catch up on the ranch work!

Last day for 2nd reading on Senate bills!!!!  Special thank you to all the House Staffers who work late hours with us and help make selfies fun by photobombing members. Plenty of time to deliver victories for Texas! #txlege

[Ben Leman @BenLemanTX]

Honored to author this resolution and have it signed into law. Also, got word yesterday that #HB1927 conference committee submitted its report for a final vote. #txlege

[Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX]

I just signed a Resolution naming the 1847 Colt Walker pistol the official handgun of Texas.

It was invented by a Texas Ranger & was America’s first six-shooter.

It was the gun of choice for US soldiers during the Mexican American war.

I’ll be signing more gun laws real soon.
