Texas GOP Censures Lawmakers
The Texas GOP has voted to censure five of its own lawmakers in the Texas House.
The decision was made by the State Republican Executive Committee, the party's governing board, during a meeting at the state Capitol on Saturday.
The committee considered reprimanding 10 Republican House members for being insufficiently conservative, but stopped short of banning them from the 2026 primary ballot.
Rejecting an untested provision that some House members say would have violated their constitutional right to appear on the ballot.
The decision signals a deescalating intraparty tension that heightened at the start of the year.
