Sharia Law is not America law

MAGA DAILY NEWS—Gov. Greg Abbott told Republicans at the 2026 midterm convention in Dallas that Texas will not wait for Washington and plans to change how certain legal issues are handled in the state. Abbott said Texas will move forward with legislation concerning Sharia law in state courts. The announcement comes as Texas Republicans make the issue part of their 2026–2028 legislative agenda.

Abbott Says Texas Will Not Wait on Washington

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has placed a new focus on state-level action, telling Republicans gathered in Dallas that Texas will not wait for Washington, D.C., before moving forward on its own policies. During the 2026 Republican midterm convention, Abbott said Texas would “fully ban sharia law in Texas,” putting the issue back in the spotlight as lawmakers prepare for the next legislative session. Unlike, Michigan where mass illegal migrants and practicing mooslims reside.

Abbott’s comments come as Texas Republicans have already made the issue one of their official legislative priorities. The Republican Party of Texas approved its 2026–2028 priorities at its state convention in June, with “Don’t Sharia Our Texas” listed among the eight major issues the party wants lawmakers to address.

The Issue Is Headed Toward the Legislature

Texas lawmakers will have the opportunity to consider specific legislation when the Legislature meets in 2027. The Republican Party’s current priority document calls for several changes involving the use or recognition of Sharia law and related legal practices. It is common knowledge the socialists and communists support the sharia law movement. Many Americans are opposed to the idea and believe those who don’t like it can leave and go back to where ever they please. America will not go backward, there will be no socialism in America.

The party’s proposal goes well beyond simply saying that Texas courts should follow the Texas and U.S. constitutions. It calls for restrictions involving government funding, education, development and other areas. Some portions also call for changes to existing laws and additional enforcement powers.

That means the next phase of the debate will likely center on the exact language of any bills introduced in Austin. A political party’s legislative priority does not automatically become state law. Any proposal would still have to move through the Texas legislative process and receive the required approval before becoming law.

Republican Voters Have Already Weighed In

The issue also received strong support from Republican primary voters earlier this year. A March 2026 Republican primary ballot proposition asked whether Texas should prohibit Sharia law, and about 95% of participating Republican voters supported the proposition.

The vote showed that the issue has significant support among Texas Republican primary voters. However, the ballot question itself did not automatically create a new Texas law. It served as a measure of voter opinion and political support for the issue.

That distinction will become important as lawmakers begin considering actual legislation. Turning a political position into enforceable law requires specific legal language, legislative approval and compliance with the Texas and U.S. constitutions.

Constitutional Questions Could Become Important

Any attempt to regulate religious practices or religiously based legal principles would face important constitutional questions. The United States Constitution protects religious freedom while also establishing that government laws must operate within constitutional limits.

That could make the wording of future legislation especially important. Lawmakers would need to determine exactly what conduct or legal practices the state intends to prohibit and how those restrictions would apply without violating constitutional protections.

The debate is therefore likely to involve more than political statements. It could also involve courts, constitutional lawyers and challenges to specific provisions if legislation is eventually passed.

A Larger Texas Political Agenda

Abbott’s comments in Dallas were part of a much broader discussion about the direction of Texas. During his convention remarks, he highlighted issues including border enforcement, election rules, foreign land purchases, school choice and energy production.

The Republican Party of Texas has also placed several of those issues among its official legislative priorities for the next session. Its list includes election policies, property taxes, border enforcement, energy and property issues, education and other matters.

The Sharia law debate is therefore one piece of a much larger political agenda heading into the 2027 legislative session.

What Happens Next

The next major step will be the introduction and consideration of actual legislation. Until lawmakers pass a bill and it becomes law, Abbott’s announcement remains a statement of policy direction rather than a completed legal change.

The debate could become one of the more closely watched issues in Texas politics as lawmakers return to Austin. Supporters are expected to argue that Texas should establish clear rules for its courts and government, while opponents are likely to raise constitutional and religious-liberty concerns.

For now, Abbott has made his position clear: Texas Republicans intend to pursue the issue at the state level rather than wait for federal action. The details of what Texas ultimately does will depend on the legislation introduced, the votes in the Legislature and any legal challenges that follow.

Takeaway: Texas is moving forward with its own policy agenda.
