Preparing for the 90th Texas Legislature
Preparing for the 90th Texas Legislature
SaveTexasMonuments.org is working now to pass a stronger, comprehensive monument protection bill during the upcoming 90th Texas Legislature.
During the 89th Legislature, monument protection bills advanced farther than they had in years, but Texas still does not have a strong statewide law protecting historic monuments, memorials, markers, and commemorative works located on public property.
That must change
Our proposed legislation, the Texas Historical Heritage Preservation Act, would protect historic monuments across Texas in a fair, consistent, and content-neutral way. This bill is not about one monument, one war, or one political issue. It is about preserving the physical evidence of Texas history so future generations can study, understand, and learn from it.
What the Bill Would Do
What the Bill Would Do
Protect historic monuments and memorials on public property that have stood for 40 years or more.
Create clear statewide standards before monuments can be removed, relocated, altered, concealed, or destroyed.
Allow routine maintenance, repair, restoration, and conservation.
Permit additional educational or interpretive displays without damaging or altering existing monuments.
Give citizens and the Attorney General meaningful tools to stop unlawful removals before they happen.
Create a statewide registry of protected Texas monuments and memorials.
Why It Matters
Why It Matters
Historic monuments are not endorsements of every person, cause, or event they commemorate. They are public historical artifacts.
Once removed, destroyed, or hidden away, they are often lost forever.
Texas history should not be rewritten by neglect, vandalism, political pressure, or temporary majorities. The better answer is preservation, education, and honest historical interpretation.
Our Mission for the 90th Session
