Welcome to the Texas Chapter
The Texas State Chapter of the RINO Removal Project is a grassroots movement committed to purging Republicans In Name Only (RINOs) from the Texas Republican Party (RPT). The Lone Star State is a stronghold of conservative values, yet RINOs undermine this legacy by aligning with establishment interests or Democrats, betraying the America First agenda. Our mission is to expose these politicians, mobilize Texas patriots, and elect true conservative leaders who uphold limited government, secure borders, and traditional values. Join us to restore the RPT as a beacon of liberty and strength!
The RINO Problem in Texas: A Timeline of Betrayal
Texas voters demand unwavering conservative leadership, but RINOs in Congress and the state legislature have repeatedly defied the RPT’s platform. Below is a timeline of key events highlighting the RINO crisis and the grassroots fight to reclaim the RPT, drawn from recent developments:
- 2020–2021: Cornyn’s Bipartisan Votes Spark Fury
U.S. Sen. John Cornyn supported the 2022 Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, a gun control measure labeled RINO-friendly by President Trump. His 35% Heritage Foundation score for the 118th Congress and votes for Ukraine funding without U.S. border security measures led Attorney General Ken Paxton to brand him an “America Last RINO,” as noted in a May 2025 Townhall article. - 2022–2023: Crenshaw’s Moderate Record Draws Scrutiny
Rep. Dan Crenshaw faced RINO accusations for supporting bipartisan infrastructure bills and failing to fully back Trump’s agenda. - 2024: House Speaker Race Exposes RINO Influence
Posts on X from December 2024 revealed outrage over 32 House Republicans, including Rep. Dustin Burrows, backing a Democrat-preferred speaker over conservative David Cook, despite the GOP’s overwhelming majority. This betrayal, criticized by @amuse, fueled calls to oust these RINOs in 2026. - April 2025: RRP Targets Texas in State Surveillance Program
RRP’s State Surveillance Program prioritized Texas, focusing on Cornyn and Crenshaw with RINOScorus™ scores of 28% and 42%. The program rallied local GOP districts to support primary challengers like Paxton against Cornyn, as noted in a May 2025 Intellectual Conservative article. - June 2025: GatorPAC Partnership Amplifies Texas Efforts
On June 12, 2025, RRP and GatorPAC, led by Col. Rob Manes, announced a strategic partnership via MENAFN. The collaboration focuses on educating voters and supporting America First candidates through X Spaces town halls and the America First Academy. - Ongoing: Local GOP Districts Target State RINOs
GOP districts in Dallas and Tarrant Counties are pushing to censure state legislators like Rep. Morgan Meyer for supporting bipartisan education bills and voting for Ken Paxton’s 2023 impeachment. These efforts, inspired by RRP’s national strategy, aim to bar RINOs from RPT funding, echoing Alaska’s District 29 sanctions.
Why RINOs Are a Problem in Texas
Texas RINOs exploit the state’s conservative base while advancing moderate policies, obstructing the America First agenda. Here’s why they’re a threat and what’s at stake:
- Betrayal of Voter Trust
RINOs like Cornyn and Crenshaw campaign as conservatives but vote with Democrats on issues like gun control and foreign aid, eroding trust in the RPT. Their actions defy the RPT’s platform, as highlighted by Paxton’s “America Last” critique. - Open Primaries Protect RINOs
Texas’s open primary system allows Democrats to vote in GOP primaries, boosting moderate RINOs. RRP’s PrimaryGuard effort, noted in a May 2025 Townhall article, seeks closed primaries to ensure conservative candidates prevail. - Bipartisan Compromises Weaken Conservative Priorities
RINOs supporting bipartisan bills, like infrastructure or education funding, prioritize corporate and establishment interests over fiscal conservatism and border security. These compromises block bold reforms, as criticized in RRP’s voter guides. - National Impact of Texas RINOs
As a GOP powerhouse, Texas RINOs like Cornyn weaken the America First agenda in Washington, D.C. His votes against Trump’s priorities embolden the establishment, as noted in a January 2025 WorldNetDaily report. - Lack of Accountability Emboldens RINOs
Weak RPT sanctions, like the failure to oust Burrows after the 2024 speaker vote, signal to RINOs they can defy the base without consequences. RRP’s grassroots censures aim to change this, per a June 2025 X post by @TMerk4343.
The RINO Rogues’ Gallery: Texas’s Top Targets
Here are the key RINOs undermining Texas’s conservative agenda and why they must be removed:
- Sen. John Cornyn (Election 2026)
Cornyn’s 35% Heritage score, support for gun control, and Ukraine funding votes make him a prime RINO target. Challenged by Ken Paxton, dubbed a top conservative AG, Cornyn faces a contentious primary, as reported by Dallas News in May 2025. His actions has earned him a 28% RINOScorus™ score - Rep. Dan Crenshaw (Election 2026)
Crenshaw’s 62% Heritage score and bipartisan votes, including infrastructure bills, earned him a 42% RINOScorus™ score. - Rep. Morgan Meyer (Election 2026)
Meyer’s support for Paxton’s impeachment and bipartisan education bills drew censure threats from Dallas County GOP districts. His 50% RINOScorus™ score marks him as a state-level RINO, with RRP seeking a conservative challenger. - Rep. Dustin Burrows (Election 2026)
Burrows’s role in backing a Democrat-preferred House speaker in 2024, despite GOP dominance, sparked outrage. Labeled a RINO by @TMerk4343 on X, he faces RRP-led censure efforts in Lubbock districts.
The 2026 Elections: A Battle for Texas’s Soul
The 2026 elections, including Cornyn’s Senate race and key House contests, are a pivotal chance to oust RINOs and install America First leaders. RRP is vetting candidates through its proprietary questionnaire, emphasizing secure borders, election integrity, and fiscal responsibility.
