WHEREAS, the people of Texas, in steadfast commitment to the United States Constitution and the Texas Constitution, recognize the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as an ideological threat due to its documented ties to terrorist organizations and activities that contravene constitutional values; and

WHEREAS, The Travis County Republican Party Executive Committee fully supports the resolution adopted by the Republican Party of Texas (RPT); and
WHEREAS, the U.S. Constitution (Article IV, Section 4) guarantees each state a republican form of government and protection against domestic subversion, and the Texas Constitution requires elected officials to defend these principles against all threats, foreign and domestic; and
WHEREAS, any organization promoting foreign ideologies that threaten the U.S. Constitution, rule of law, and public safety must be actively opposed by those sworn to uphold the public trust; now
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Travis County Republican Party Executive Committee calls upon all elected officials in Texas and throughout the United States – sworn to uphold the Texas and U.S. Constitutions – to:
Immediately suspend all contact and outreach activities with CAIR and its affiliates, including partnerships with schools, police departments, city councils, and government agencies
Publicly denounce CAIR’s anti-constitutional agenda, its documented terrorist affiliations, and its efforts to undermine American values, laws, and civic institutions
Take all appropriate legal and legislative actions to prevent CAIR’s ideological infiltration into Texas public life; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Travis County Republican Party Executive Committee will consider the failure by elected officials to oppose CAIR’s documented threat to constitutional governance to be a betrayal of their respective oaths of office and the public trust, and that we intend to hold those elected officials accountable for failing to protect the liberties, safety, and republican form of government guaranteed by the Constitutions of Texas and the United States; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Republican Party of Texas, the Travis County delegation to the Texas Legislature, and all relevant elected officials representing Travis County, as a testament to our commitment to these principles.
Approved by voice vote, 10/21/25
