Legislative Activities
Family law changes through the Texas Legislature, and courts alone won’t fix an unfair standard — that takes people willing to speak up. Fathers for Equal Rights tracks family-code legislation and supports members who want to make their voice heard with their state representatives.
You can find your Texas state legislator and their contact information at Texas Legislature Online. A short, polite, specific call or letter identifying yourself as a constituent and naming the bill you care about is one of the most effective things you can do.
