Stop private militias in the state of Texas

We call on you to enforce the Texas law which prohibits private militias.

Why is this important?

Texas Government Code 437.208 states, “A body of persons other than the regularly organized Texas military forces, the armed forces of the United States, or the active militia of another state may not associate as a military company or organization or parade in public with firearms in a municipality of the state.” The extra-judicial armed groups now patrolling several areas on our state’s southern border are manifestly organized “as a military company or organization” outside the control of Texas military forces and the armed forces of the United States. We call on you to enforce Texas Government Code 437.208 against these private militias and disperse them.
