Happy Texas Independence Day!

It's the busiest night of the year for my Texas dairy clients!

Santa Will Drink More than 5 Million Gallons of Milk This Christmas Eve Whether it’s whole milk, 2%, eggnog or chocolate, Santa sure loves to drink the good stuff – real milk from real, hardworking dairy farm families!

I never hesitate to say “yes” to help the Austin Diaper Bank because it means helping so many families in need. Can’t wait for the Bash - hope you will join me there!

🎉 A huge thank you to our incredible Bash sponsors for making this night of impact possible! Your support helps ensure babies and parents in our community have access to essential diapers and period products all year long.

💫 Presented by Loewy Law Firm, we're grateful for each and every sponsor who’s stepping up to care for our community.

Happy Sine Die, Capitol friends! As the famed late German theologian Martin Luther once said, “We leave you to your own devices, for nothing properly suits you except hypocrisy, flattery, and lies.” I think he might have worked in and around some Capitol back in the day.

In today's episode of "Where have all the copy editors gone?" - there is no Texas Department of Business and Professional Regulation.

So appreciate of these fabulous ladies who, for the third legislative session, took time out of their work at the Capitol to benefit the Austin Diaper Bank.

💙 A huge thank you to the Texas Bankers Association and an incredible group of community champions for hosting the recent Capitol Happy Hour and Donation Drive in support of Austin Diaper Bank!

Together, you helped raise nearly $4,000 to provide clean diapers to babies and toddlers across Central Texas — a powerful reminder of what’s possible when advocates, professionals, and friends come together for a cause.

We are especially grateful to:
✨ Shelly Botkin
✨ Brandy Marquez, Marquez Public Affairs
✨ Denise Rose, Jackson Walker
✨ Shannon Rusing, Texas Oil and Gas Association
✨ Celeste Embrey, Texas Bankers Association
✨ Zoe Taylor, Texas Trial Lawyers Association
✨ Rebecca Waldrop, Ardelyx
✨ Jennifer Banda

Thank you for using your platforms and energy to make a difference for parents and babies in our community. Your support truly matters. 💙👶

Happy to help sponsor this event to support student athletes and recognize those making a difference in youth sports. And FYI - they have a terrific online silent auction going on right now, and you don't have to be present to win! Check their page or my personal one for the QR code to bid.

Tomorrow night we get to honor the best coaches, volunteers, and scholar athletes in the Greater Austin area thanks to our wonderful Table Sponsors. Thanks to their generosity our 2025 GASF Hall of Honor Banquet will be a celebration of what makes supporting youth sports so great.

Why newspapers are in trouble: Hearst spends money on paper and stamp to send me an 8-cent check for an apparent San Antonio Express-News subscription overpayment. I did not request this.

Another year of newsletters for my client are in the can, and about to start my 21st year with the Texas Association of Dairymen. I love my dairy farmer clients!

Great spotlight on lack of governmental official transparency by Ryan Chandler and KXAN News. To quote the Washington Post slogan, "Democracy Dies in Darkness."

Ken Paxton’s evasive relationship with the press Over the last year, KXAN has submitted dozens of press inquiries to Attorney General Ken Paxton. His office has not responded to one since September 2023. It marks an era of evasion in which Paxton…
