Summary of Texas Sovereignty Act
HB 1215
Basic Approach
Provide streamlined approach for the Texas legislature to formally declare that specific acts of the federal government are unconstitutional. Creates a standing legislative committee to review federal actions for constitutionality. The full legislature votes on declared unconstitutional acts and the governor reviews. Federal actions subject to Texas review are legislation, regulations, executive orders, federal judicial orders or decisions, and treaty enforcement.
Once an act is declared unconstitutional, law enforcement can arrest and prosecute federal agents who attempt enforcement action under the color of declared unconstitutional acts under the Texas penal code, including explicitly, the Texas Official Oppression Act (Texas Penal Code 39.03). While maintaining the ability of local district and county attorneys to prosecute, the attorney general is also given prosecutorial power to prosecute federal agents if a federal act has been declared unconstitutional.
Details
- Explicitly states that this bill does not prohibit a public officer who has taken the oath from interposing to stop acts of the federal government which in the officer’s best understanding and judgment, violate the Constitution.
- Includes canons of construction guiding the analysis of the constitutionality of federal acts. The canons urge reliance on the text and structure of the Constitution and in cases of ambiguity, on sources that evidence original intent.
- Allows Texas citizens to seek an opinion about the constitutionality of a federal action in a Texas court.
Rationale
Our state and nation are dying because the federal government is violating the Constitution every day in many ways – and no one is stopping them. The feds will never limit their own power. Texans must honor their oaths to defend the Constitution, and stop federal action in Texas that violates the Constitution. This requires the exercise of independent judgment about constitutional meaning, rejecting the notion that the federal judiciary is the sole or final arbiter of constitutional meaning.
This approach relies completely on Texans and Texas officials to secure the liberty of Texans, and can be implemented immediately. No relying upon, or waiting on other states to secure our liberty.

Texas has to do something soon. It knows it’s being invaded.

Texas and Louisiana will most likely be first on the list to be defunded. The illegals will be flooded in and they will start by cutting off the oil revenue stream.
The war is over and it was done with only one bullet.

This one is an easy one, pipeline was shutdown in a few hours.
Illegals (or more like legals, everyone) will be pouring in, they will put the squeeze on the red states.
Good luck.

If I didn't know anything you wouldn't be so angry.
Everyone has to admit to the Truth, what was I wrong about... that Trump or someone would do something.
America is gone, I actually said that 20 years ago.... trying to convince me America isn't gone is not going to work.
Its over. Happy?
Texas and Louisiana will be very easy to deal with.

What would you have the citizens of Texas do?
We’re pretty much at our wits’ end.
