Our Mission

Texas First Initiative exists to help Texans understand how public policy decisions shape everyday life, from the cost of living and job creation to the efficiency and transparency of state and local government.


Through clear, accessible education and principled advocacy, the organization promotes reforms that keep government focused on its core responsibilities, respect individual freedom, and ensure public resources are managed responsibly.

What We Stand For

Limited Government

Government should be effective, targeted, and restrained. Doing what it must without expanding into what it shouldn’t.

Fiscal Responsibility

Taxpayer dollars should be spent carefully, measured honestly, and evaluated for results.
