In 2022 and 2024, Republican delegates overwhelmingly voted to include Texas independence in the RPT Platform. Planks 20 and 203 received over 90% delegate support — more than border security, election integrity, or support of the Armed Forces. The 2024 Platform explicitly designated the referendum as a legislative priority. Yet the Texas Legislature has still refused to act.
It’s time to send the message again — louder.
The resolutions in this package are designed to be carried through the entire 2026 RPT convention process: from your Precinct Convention to the Senate District Convention and all the way to the State Convention floor. Every resolution that passes at the precinct level builds pressure on legislators who have been ignoring the will of the grassroots.
IMPORTANT: The resolutions in this package are designed to stand alone. Each resolution is its own document with no numbering, no organizational branding, and no reference to the TNM. This is intentional. Present each resolution independently. Do not present them as a “package.” Do not reference the TNM when introducing them on the floor. These are your resolutions. You are a Republican delegate exercising your right to participate in the platform process.
WHAT WE NEED YOU TO DO
STEP 1: PRECINCT CONVENTION
Attend your Precinct Convention. The Republican Primary is March 3, 2026. Under Texas law, each County Party sets the date and location for precinct conventions. Some counties hold them on Primary Election Night after polls close; others schedule them for a later date. Check with your County Chair or your County Party’s website for the exact date, time, and location of your precinct convention.
- Print at least 4 copies of each resolution you plan to present (1 for yourself, 3 for the convention secretary). Print only the resolution pages — not this cover sheet.
- When the Precinct Chair calls for resolutions, raise your hand. When recognized, state: “Mr./Madam Chairman, I move adoption of the following resolution…” and read or summarize it.
- A simple majority of those present adopts the resolution. Get elected as a delegate to the Senate District/County Convention.
STEP 2: SENATE DISTRICT / COUNTY CONVENTION (March 28, 2026)
- Attend Resolutions Committee meetings before the convention and speak in favor of these resolutions being forwarded to the full convention.
- Vote to adopt the resolutions on the convention floor. Get elected as a delegate to the State Convention.
STEP 3: RPT STATE CONVENTION (June 11–13, 2026 — George R. Brown Convention Center, Houston)
- Attend the Temporary and Permanent Platform/Resolutions Committee meetings to testify in favor of these resolutions.
- Vote to adopt these resolutions on the convention floor. Elect SREC members who support the right of Texans to vote on independence.
PRIORITY: You do not have to present all resolutions. The resolution reaffirming Planks 20 and 203 is the most important — it is the hardest for anyone to vote against because it simply asks the RPT to reaffirm its own platform. If you present only one resolution, present that one. After that, choose additional resolutions based on what resonates most in your precinct.
