The commissioners court has since dropped their contract, but the City of Granbury followed Hood County's leadership and we are stuck with 24 cameras in town.

Hood County Republicans are the tip of the spear in Texas Grassroots politics!

Our Commissioners recently terminated their contract with Flock Safety, and the County GOP is urging the City of Granbury to do the same.

🚨 Texas Republicans: This Runoff is Critical for Law & Order! Vote THOMAS SMITH for Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, Place 3!

Patriots, in this Republican Runoff, we need a true conservative on our highest criminal court who will stand strong for victims, support law enforcement, and protect Texas values—not someone advancing the radical left’s agenda.

Thomas Smith is that proven conservative leader. He’s spent over a decade serving alongside Attorney General Ken Paxton, fighting for election integrity, tough-on-crime policies, and the Constitution. Tom has the backbone and record to deliver real justice on the Court of Criminal Appeals.

His opponent, Alison Fox, worked as a top deputy and Director for the Soros-funded Bexar County DA Joe Gonzales—the same DA who received nearly $1 million from George Soros and his PACs to get elected and push soft-on-crime policies.

Texans cannot afford a judge with ties to that world on our highest criminal court. We need fighters like Tom Smith who will uphold the law without compromise. His opponent is linked to the very prosecutors undermining justice across America.

Early voting is underway—May 18-22.
Election Day is May 26.

Get out and vote this week for Thomas Smith, the true conservative who will give us a Conservative majority on the Court of Criminal Appeals!
