The Texas Federation of Republican Women (TFRW) is a volunteer army unmatched by any other women's organization. TFRW makes it possible for women to influence how local, state, and federal government manages such critical issues as health, crime, education, taxes and financial security.
The TFRW's long-standing goals of education, training, participation in government, electing Republicans and encouraging Republican women to run for office has helped create a powerful organization that is over 10,000 members strong with 164 Local Clubs across the state of Texas.

On January 17, 2013, the TFRW Board of Directors overwhelmingly approved a resolution calling on the federal government to immediately pass and fund legislation to reform the current immigration system.
"Our goal was to arrive at a reasonable statement, one that actually had the opportunity to be implemented; one that would look at a complete solution for the entire issue. We wanted a policy statement that would encourage good legislation and serve as a deterrent for poor piecemeal legislation,” said TFRW President Carolyn Hodges of Houston.

UPDATE: The National Federation of Republican Women passed a resolution on March 9 urging the federal government to move on this issue. This resolution was proposed by our own delegation.
