What it is

Four sentences. One loyalty.

The Texas First Pledge is a plain commitment any candidate or officeholder can make to the people they serve: Texas comes first. It is not a party platform, and it is not an endorsement.

Signing is permanent. A signature is a public record that voters can hold to account.

Read the full pledge

I pledge to place the interests of Texas and Texans before any other nation, state, political entity, organization, or individual.
I further pledge to uphold the right of Texans under Article 1 Section 2 of the Texas Constitution "to alter, reform or abolish their government."
If it is within the powers of my office, I will vote for legislation and resolutions to call for a vote on Texas reasserting its status as an independent nation in every term that I am elected until such a referendum is held.
If a majority of the people of Texas vote in support of Texas reasserting its status as an independent nation, I pledge to work toward a fair and expedient separation of Texas from the federal government placing the interests of Texans first.
