Texas GOP censures five House members for backing Speaker Burrows’ rules, avoiding primary bans amid internal GOP rifts.
The Texas Republican Party’s State Republican Executive Committee censured five House members on October 11, 2025, for supporting Speaker Dustin Burrows and a rules package that preserved some Democratic influence, but rejected a proposal to bar them from the 2026 primary ballot.
The decision, driven by concerns over constitutional rights, legal risks, and internal unity, marks a de-escalation of party tensions.
While the censure is symbolic, it underscores divisions within the GOP over ideological purity versus party cohesion.
The party passed numerous conservative bills during the 2025 session, including measures on election integrity, abortion pills, and transgender restroom access.
The censure rule remains on the books and may be reconsidered at the 2026 convention.
