Every piece of humane legislation the coalition is writing, testifying on, and moving through the Texas Capitol — updated after every committee hearing and every floor vote.
Updated this session
Every humane bill the coalition is writing, testifying on, or moving — updated after every committee hearing and every floor vote.
Every bill the coalition has moved, passed, or kept fighting across prior sessions. Sessions prior to the 88th were before the coalition existed.
We don't back every humane bill in Texas. We back the ones where the coalition's work moves the needle — and we say no, publicly, to the rest. The criteria we run every prospective bill through:
Bills that apply to one facility, one species, or one municipality get routed to local partners. We work statewide.
If another Texas org is already carrying a better draft, we testify in support. We don't duplicate work for the credit.
We draft aspirationally but file realistically. Bills without a credible floor path get held for the next legislature.
Every active bill passes a technical review with participating shelters and DVMs before we file. Statute that can't be implemented is statute that can't protect.
Legislation is won one email, one testimony, one signature at a time. Join the coalition — we'll tell you when, where, and how to show up. No spam. No filler.
Join the coalition. Read the bills. Testify at the Capitol. Every action moves the next humane law one step closer to the floor.
