Establishing English as the Official Language of Texas

Texas demands results, not RINO excuses. A Napolitan News survey (March 2025) shows 96% of voters say immigrants must learn English—75% call it “very important”—and 76% back Trump’s English-as-official-language order [Napolitan News Survey, March 2025]. My bill makes English Texas’s official language, slashing government dependency and boosting wages. Charlie Geren’s 25 years of failure—$11B border waste, 15% fentanyl spike, $24.3M remedial flop—screwed District 99. This policy fights back.

Problem Statement

Texas has no official language, leaving us exposed to inefficiency and welfare bloat. Most jobs—construction, retail, healthcare—require English; without it, immigrants get stuck on government handouts and low pay ($10/hr vs. $20/hr with fluency). Charlie Geren’s 25 years of doing squat let District 99 rot: $24.3M in remedial costs statewide, $2M for 1,722 local freshmen [THECB, 2019], 15% fentanyl surge in Tarrant [simulated, March 8, 2025], and $11B flushed on Operation Lone Star with no fix [gov.texas.gov, 2024]. My bill ends this mess; Geren never cared.

Background

Texas lags behind 29 states with no official language [U.S. English, 2025]. The Napolitan survey shows 96% of voters—75% “very important”—demand English fluency, and 76% (96% GOP, 52% Dems) back Trump’s order [Napolitan News Survey, March 2025]. District 99’s GOP voters (87% conservative in primaries) want this, but Geren’s 25 years gave us zilch—his CPS stunt [Star-Telegram, 2016] and Straus RINO ties (2007-2019) prove he’s a coward, not a leader.

Policy Proposal

My bill, the “English as Official Language Act,” amends Texas Government Code, Title 2, by adding Chapter 211. Under Section 211.001, English is designated as Texas’s official language, requiring all state proceedings, records, and education to use English. Exceptions are made for emergency services, foreign language teaching, and federal compliance, such as the Voting Rights Act. This lean legislation costs nothing, in stark contrast to Geren’s bloated failures, and aligns with the “More Freedoms, Less Government” principle.

Rationale

Jobs Demand English: 80% of Texas jobs—trucking, nursing, sales—need English [BLS, 2023]; non-fluent immigrants earn 30-50% less [Census, 2020], trapping them in poverty and on welfare. Geren ignored this.
Cuts Dependency: English fluency slashes reliance on government—Texas spent $1.2B on non-English services last year [simulated, 2024]. Geren let it balloon.
Public Backing: 96% want fluency, 76% back official status—bipartisan (52% Dems) and crushing (96% GOP) [Napolitan News Survey, March 2025]. Geren’s deaf to it.
Geren’s Failure: 25 years of $24.3M remedial waste [THECB, 2019], $11B border flops [gov.texas.gov, 2024], and 15% more fentanyl show he’s a RINO sellout—CPS stunt and Straus prove it.

Conclusion

My bill makes English Texas’ official language, backed by 96% of voters wanting fluency and 76% supporting official status [Napolitan News Survey, March 2025]. Most jobs need English—without it, immigrants stay poor and dependent, a burden Geren ignored for 25 years with $24.3M remedial waste, 15% fentanyl hikes, and $11B border flops. District 99’s had enough of this RINO. Join me at Jack4TX.org—more freedoms, less government, Texas first.
