90th Texas Legislature — Legislative Priorities

Building a more humane Texas for every animal.

Lone Star Humane Association advances humane laws, prevents cruelty and builds a stronger statewide voice for animals across Texas.

Animals need more than compassion. They need a voice in the law.

Animals cannot advocate for themselves in the rooms where laws are made. We bring together animal-welfare professionals, advocates, communities and policymakers to turn frontline experience into practical, humane protections across Texas.

How we create lasting change.

We combine policy expertise, statewide community and practical tools for action.

Advancing humane laws.

We work with lawmakers, advocates and experts to strengthen protections for animals across Texas, from developing policy to supporting legislation through every stage of the process.

Our legislative work

Building a statewide voice.

Lasting change takes people. We connect animal advocates, shelters, rescues and communities across Texas to share knowledge, organize locally and speak with a stronger collective voice.

Join our community

Turning compassion into change.

We make it easier for Texans to understand the issues, contact their representatives, testify on legislation and take meaningful action when animals need their voice.

Take action

Growing a statewide voice for animals.

A young organization can still be built for the long term. Our first years have focused on the relationships, knowledge and discipline durable advocacy requires.
