Contact your representative on parental choice
We need 75 votes in the Texas House to ensure parental choice. Contact your state representative and ask for more educational options for families who need it most.
Please consider one of the following methods to contact your Texas House representative:
1. Customized contact by email or phone
While this requires a few more minutes, we know legislators give greater consideration to a customized email or phone call.
First, locate your Texas House Representative using the link below.
Then, use the sample scripts for a phone call and an email to your Texas House representative.
Sample Phone Script
“Hello, my name is _____. I live in the representative’s district in [CITY OR NEIGHBORHOOD] and belong to _______ parish and my children attend ______Catholic School. I am calling to ask [Representative] to support parental choice in education and help pass a bill in the special session that allows families to have more options. If funding is limited, as a Catholic/Christian, I believe those who need it most should be first in line. Does the representative have a position on the issue?”
If the response is supportive, say “Thank you!”
If the response is negative, say “As your constituent I would ask the representative to reconsider her position for the sake of parents and children in our community.”
Close by expressing gratitude for the representative’s service.
