In 2025, Texas voters made history when they approved funding for the Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (DPRIT).
The Lone Star State is investing $3 billion over 10 years in dementia research, creating the largest state-funded dementia research program in the country.
Congratulations to our Texas advocates on receiving the 2026 State Policy Achievement Award! #alzforum
We’re proud to recognize @LtGovTX with a Humanitarian of the Year Award for his leadership in enacting DPRIT legislation and for standing with the Alzheimer’s and dementia community in getting funding approved by Texas Voters. #alzforum
As the primary caretaker for my mother who died of Alzheimer’s, I oppose the challenge against the Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas. The people behind this lawsuit are thwarting the will of voters who want to end this cruel disease.
How can Texas’ $3B dementia research investment change lives? I’ll join @TexasTribune to look at what the Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas could mean for prevention, care & support for Texans. In Austin and online, Jan. 21. RSVP:

🚨 UPDATE: The bipartisan #ASAPAct was just introduced in the Senate. 🎆 We’re proud to champion this critical bill, which will create a pathway for Medicare coverage of FDA-approved dementia blood tests.

Too many Texans have been impacted by Alzheimer’s and other dementias. That’s why I voted to establish the Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (DPRIT). I urge all of my constituents to join me and the Alzheimer’s Association in pledging to #VoteYesOnAlz14@alzassociation
Thank you, Rep. Tom Craddick and Sen. Kevin Sparks for your strong leadership in supporting Proposition 14. The Texas Alzheimer’s and dementia community is grateful for your support. #VoteYesOnAlz14
