Welcome to my Proud of Texas website.

This site is dedicated to all that makes us so proud to be Texans.

I have never been more proud to call myself a Texan. When you consider all the great contributions Texans make every day — in the classroom, in research labs, on the athletic field or on the battlefield — what’s not to be proud of?

We hope you will join your fellow Texans and share with us the reasons why you are proud of our great Lone Star State.

Gov. Perry’s Leadership:

Growing the Jobs of the Future
The Texas Emerging Technology Fund is Governor Perry’s new tool to help ensure Texas gets the jobs of the future. In 2005, Perry secured $200 million to help Texas attract growth in high-tech fields like biomedicine and nanotechnology.

Creating jobs with the Texas Enterprise Fund
Since Governor Perry proposed its creation in 2003, the Texas Enterprise Fund has earned a reputation as the most aggressive and successful job creation tool in America. Perry has used the Enterprise Fund to seal the deal on projects that will bring tens of thousands of new jobs to Texas.

Tax Relief for Families and Businesses
Lt. Governor Perry helped pass tax cuts of nearly $2 billion. These included tax exemptions for over the counter medicine, the creation of the sales tax holiday for school clothing and supplies, tax cuts for small businesses with gross receipts under $150,000, and $855 million in property tax relief for Texans.

Other Texans Say…

I’m proud to be a Texas Conservative and I’m very proud of the job our great governor has done.

If you go anywhere in the world and show people an outline of say Massachusetts or New Hampshire most people would be clueless as to what that was. If you show those same people an outline of Texas, they will know exactly what that is and and know what kind of person you are.

I was born and raised in Texas and it gives me great pleasure to live among the most diverse, yet friendly, folks I’ve ever encountered. No matter where I’ve been, everyone instantly recognizes the “Texas Drawl” and flocks to a me with a big smile and lots of questions, knowing full well that they’ll receive a warm welcome and a instant friend.
