Each election cycle, THSC works to provide families with the best possible list of endorsements so that families can feel empowered to go to the polls to vote for the most pro-family and pro-homeschooling candidates in Texas!
We partner with individuals – just like you – to establish interview committees (otherwise known as THSC Vetting Committees) who interview candidates before any endorsement is issued.

The Boatright Family: Our team fought for nine months to finally reunite baby Evelyn with her parents, exposing critical failures by CPS and Cook Children’s Hospital that devastated this innocent family.
The Lott Family: When CPS threatened to remove JD and Britney Lott’s children because of baseless claims from a Reddit group that had harrassed them for years, the FFP immediately intervened, ultimately preventing a CPS removal.
