He was the House author behind the tax relief package that passed in the 2^nd special session that NFIB supported, specifically SB 2 relating to property tax relief for all property owners. His efforts in the 2023 legislative session earned him a 100% on the NFIB Texas voting record. Background: In August, NFIB Texas released a list of 66 lawmakers who earned 100 percent NFIB voting records during the 88^th Legislative Session.
