The Texas Family Project empowers local and state leaders to advance family-first policies that strengthen families, build resilient communities and create a solid foundation for the future of Texas.

The strength of a nation lies in the homes of its people.

~ Abraham Lincoln

Strong families play an irreplaceable role in maintaining and preserving our civil society.

They provide emotional and economic stability for their children and their communities and cultivate responsible citizens. Families shape the values, character, and civic responsibility of future generations. A strong family nurtures virtue, fosters trust, builds social stability, and upholds the democratic principles of participation, accountability, and mutual respect. Investing in family formation and well-being is more than a social necessity—it is a fundamental pillar of preserving and strengthening democracy itself.
