The road to a Texas independence referendum runs through one room: the floor of the Republican Party of Texas state convention. That is where the party that controls every statewide office and both chambers of the Texas Legislature decides what it stands for, what it fights for, and what its members will be held accountable to in the next session.

In June 2022, RPT delegates adopted a platform plank calling for a referendum on Texas independence. It passed with 90.08 percent support, outperforming border security, prosecution of election fraud, support of the Armed Forces, and the Convention of States. In May 2024, delegates in San Antonio reaffirmed it as Plank 203 and stated that it should be elevated to a Legislative Priority. An organized floor attempt to strip the plank failed.

The Texas GOP platform today contains the strongest pro-independence language of any major political party in any state.

That happened because the Texas Nationalist Movement was in the room.

In 2024, 333 donors and 60 volunteers powered TNM's convention operation. Texians showed up as delegates, sat through long committee sessions, made the case in caucuses, and refused to leave the work undone. The result is on the public record.

Why 2026 Is the Convention That Matters

The 2026 Republican Party of Texas State Convention runs June 11 through 13 at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston. The theme is "Strong Roots, Bold Future." Thousands of delegates and alternates will assemble to write the platform, set the legislative priorities, and elect the party leadership for the next two years.

What they decide in Houston goes directly to the 90th Texas Legislature, which convenes in January 2027. That is when the TEXIT Referendum Bill returns. That is when the platform Republicans wrote in 2026 becomes the leverage that holds legislators to the wall.

Two cycles of overwhelming delegate support have built the policy infrastructure. The 90th Legislature is the session where Republicans either deliver on what their own platform demands or expose themselves as having no intention of representing the people who put them in office.

The federal-aligned interests that opposed TEXIT in 2022 and tried to strip it in 2024 will be back in Houston. They will be better organized, better funded, and more determined to bury this question once and for all. TNM has to outwork them in committee meetings, in caucus rooms, and on the convention floor.

What Your Donation Funds

Convention work is expensive. Your gift funds TNM's full operational presence in Houston across three intense days of convention proceedings, plus the weeks of preparation that precede them:

TNM's booth in the main exhibit hall, Booth 724, staffed throughout the convention
Getting TNM's delegates, staff, and volunteers to Houston: travel, lodging, and meals
Producing and distributing materials in the hands of thousands of delegates: platform briefings, TEXIT fact sheets, the Texian Declaration, and current TEXIT polling
Powering TNM's communications and media operation: Texian Partisan coverage, livestream production, social content, and real-time reporting from the convention floor
Supporting the platform and committee work, where the actual fight happens

This is direct investment in the most consequential convention in TNM's history.

Stand With Texas in Houston

The Republican Party of Texas convention is one of the few places where the question of Texas independence is debated in public, in front of the press, by people with the power to act on it. The grassroots have spoken twice. The platform reflects what Texans want. The Legislature has not delivered.

Houston in June 2026 is where that changes.

Help put TNM on the floor. If you're attending the convention, come find us at Booth 724.
