Brian Harrison, a Texas state representative, posted a series of tweets on July 24, 2025, criticizing the actions and priorities of the Texas Legislature.
In a post made at 12:25 p.m. UTC, Harrison wrote: “The Texas Legislature is corrupt… and apparently hellbent on destroying liberty and prosperity in our great state.”
Later that day at 1:56 p.m. UTC, he commented on legislative priorities by stating: “If you’re fighting harder to ban hemp than you are to ban property taxes… you’re doing it wrong.”
At 4:39 p.m. UTC, Harrison criticized the brevity of recent legislative sessions: “After a 10 minute session on Tuesday… today, the Texas House gaveled in at 10am and gaveled out at… 10:13am. Thirteen whole minutes. And… we’re adjourned until Monday.”
Harrison’s remarks come amid ongoing debates within the Texas Legislature over issues such as property taxes and regulation of hemp products. In recent years, there has been significant discussion regarding property tax reform in Texas, with some lawmakers advocating for reductions or elimination of these taxes to address concerns about affordability and economic growth.
