Mexican American
Legislative Caucus

Building Power for the Latino Community in the Texas House of Representatives.

Welcome to the 89th Legislative Session!

Dear Friends,


I am deeply honored to represent Fort Worth in the Texas House of Representatives and to now serve as Chairman of the Mexican American Legislative Caucus. I am grateful for the trust and confidence my MALC colleagues have placed in me to lead and represent our communities across the state. We are working tirelessly not only for the residents of Fort Worth but also for the values and priorities of all our districts and communities we serve in this great state. As we continue our work in the Texas Legislature, I want to share key updates with you about the efforts MALC is making to protect our communities and advocate for a better Texas that works for everyone.

MALC sent a 
letter to Commissioner Morath at the Texas Education Agency (TEA), urging the agency to provide clear and detailed guidance to local school districts and personnel regarding federal immigration enforcement in Texas schools. Let me be clear, ICE raids have no place in our Texas public schools. Our teachers and administrators already have too much on their plate, and it is crucial our schools remain a safe and welcoming learning environment for all students, regardless of their immigration status. 

Additionally, I’m proud to share that the MALLF Fellowship Program continues to empower the next generation of emerging young Latino leaders across our state, providing them with invaluable experience and a deeper understanding of the legislative process. Currently, we have twenty-one fellows gaining hands-on experience in the offices of MALC Members, furthering their growth as the future leaders of Texas. 

Thank you for your ongoing support of MALC. Together, we will continue to advocate for policies that strengthen our communities and uplift the voices of all Texans. As always, don’t hesitate to reach out if you need assistance at

Sincerely,
Rep. Ramon Romero Jr.
Chair, Mexican American Legislative Caucus
