90th Texas Legislature — Legislative Priorities
Capitol Captains Press Donate
A Texas Movement · Est. 2026

Writing the laws that protect Texas animals.

A homegrown Texas movement of local shelters and rescues, pet owners, volunteers, and voters, joining forces at the Capitol to fight for the laws our animals deserve.

Our Mission

We chase the mission, not the money. We show up for the animals who can't show up for themselves — at every committee hearing, every floor vote, every session.

Not a career. A calling. We are a coalition of Texans who believe that humane legislation is the only way to protect animal lives at scale, and we intend to draft, fight for, and pass every single law they deserve.

The Coalition

Three pillars.
One fight.

Every action leads to legislation. Here's how the work gets done.

[01]

Advocacy

We draft model legislation, testify in committee, and hold lawmakers accountable through every session. Showing up at the Capitol is how we protect animals statewide.

Community

Local shelters and rescues, pet owners, volunteers and voters — across 254 Texas counties. The coalition is the strategy: distributed, organized, ready to mobilize.

Action

We turn belief into bills, emails into votes, and testimony into law. Every action is tracked, every outcome measured — because a movement runs on receipts.
