2026 Precinct Convention Resolutions
Attention all grassroots supporters of faith, family, and freedom: Party Platforms are going to be written as the parties prepare for the State Convention this year.
Delegates are grassroots activists who volunteer to lead at their precinct, county or senate district, or state convention. Many precinct conventions will take place on Tuesday, March 3rd and Saturday, March 7th. If you voted in the primary or are affiliated with the party, you can introduce and pass resolutions for party leaders to further discuss at the county/senate district convention. Whether you can be involved at the precinct, county, or state level – any degree of involvement is valuable.
Look online or call your county party headquarters for meeting details. This means you have a great opportunity to take a stand for important pro-life, pro-family, and pro-freedom issues by submitting a resolution to your party’s platform at your local convention.
A resolution is a statement of principle that is voted on at a political convention.

Child First Conception Act
WHEREAS, the State has a compelling interest, pursuant to its police powers, in protecting the health, safety, and welfare of its citizens, including ensuring that medical and technological advancements do not cause foreseeable harm to children.

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Republican Party of ___________________ County supports prohibiting third party egg and sperm donation and commercialization within the State of Texas and supports the regulation of the disposal of existing gametes in a manner that prioritizes child welfare, protection of biological parents, and medical transparency.
