Texas GOP unanimously passes resolution for special legislative session on Colony Ridge.
The Republican Party of Texas Calls for Action on Colony Ridge
The Republican Party of Texas has unanimously passed a resolution urging Governor Greg Abbott to convene a special legislative session to address the issue of Colony Ridge, a massive housing development north of Houston that has become a hub for illegal immigrants.
The resolution, which passed by a vote of 61-0, emphasizes the need for a special legislative session to “prevent further settlement of illegal aliens in Colony Ridge and any other areas of Texas.” The power to call a special legislative session lies with Governor Abbott, who has already been urged by Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick to take action.
The party’s resolution highlights specific concerns raised in The Daily Wire’s investigation of the development. It points out that the developer allows illegal aliens to obtain loans using Individual Tax ID Numbers (ITINs) instead of Social Security Numbers. Additionally, Colony Ridge has grown to an estimated population of 50,000 to 75,000 inhabitants over an expansive area of 60 square miles.
Resolution Calling for Action in Colony Ridge
The resolution also calls for Attorney General Ken Paxton to initiate a full investigation into the development activities of Colony Ridge Land, LLC, and its potential connections to elected officials in the region.
Matt Rinaldi, the Chairman of the Republican Party of Texas, expressed his concern about Colony Ridge and the lack of attention it has received from elected officials in his own party. He emphasized the urgency of Governor Abbott addressing this issue in a special session, especially since House Speaker Dade Phelan has refused to pass meaningful border security laws.
Several Republican leaders, including Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, have expressed their concern about Colony Ridge. Paxton described it as “completely insane” and highlighted the need for legislative action. Patrick also called for a special legislative session to address the issues raised in The Daily Wire’s report.
The resolution has received praise from advocates for increased border security, such as Texans for Strong Borders. They commended the Republican Party of Texas for echoing their calls for legislative action and a thorough investigation into Colony Ridge and its business dealings.
Colony Ridge has gained international attention and is no longer able to hide in obscurity. The resolution points out that the development has resulted in unmanageable growth in the neighboring school district and raises concerns about the presence of cartels in the area.
In addition to calling for an investigation into Colony Ridge, the resolution also raises questions about the potential connections between elected officials and the development company. While no names are mentioned, several elected officials have financial links to Colony Ridge and its developer, William “Trey” Harris.
Meanwhile, Congressman Brian Babin, who represents Liberty County, is commended for drawing attention to the crisis without receiving any financial contributions from Harris.
Florida Governor and presidential candidate Ron DeSantis has also expressed his concern about Colony Ridge, blaming ”weak, spineless leaders” for allowing the development of housing for illegal immigrants.
Multiple U.S. congressmen from Texas, including Representative Chip Roy, have voiced their concerns about Colony Ridge and the continuation of open border policies.
As of now, Governor Abbott has not responded to the resolution.

The Republican Party of Texas recognizes the significant impact that Colony Ridge’s housing development has had on the influx of illegal immigrants in the area. The party’s resolution underscores the urgency of addressing this issue and preventing further settlement of illegal aliens not only in Colony Ridge but also in any other areas of Texas.
One of the primary concerns raised in The Daily Wire’s investigation is the developer’s practice of allowing illegal aliens to obtain loans using Individual Tax ID Numbers (ITINs) instead of Social Security Numbers. This opens the door for continued illegal immigration and poses a potential threat to national security.
Moreover, the rapid expansion of Colony Ridge has resulted in an estimated population of 50,000 to 75,000 inhabitants over an expansive area of 60 square miles. Such rapid population growth without proper oversight and regulation is unsustainable and unsustainable.
Given these grave concerns, the Republican Party of Texas is calling for Governor Greg Abbott to convene a special legislative session to address the issue promptly. It is within the power of the Governor to call such a session, and Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick has already urged him to do so.
In addition to urging the Governor’s action, the resolution also calls for Attorney General Ken Paxton to initiate a full investigation into the development activities of Colony Ridge Land, LLC, and any potential connections to elected officials in the region. This investigation is crucial to ensuring transparency and accountability in the development process and identifying any potential misconduct or improper influence.
