TSRA’s Annual Meeting Huge Success
TSRA’s Annual Meeting in Mesquite last weekend was well-attended and a huge success.

Lt. Governor David Dewhurst spoke at a key-note luncheon on Saturday. His business background and ability to bring contentious members to the table for discussion is credited with a decade of pro-gun bills passing in the Texas Senate. Regardless of the job, Dewhurst is up for the task to preserve hunting and gun rights for all.

Any return to rights is a return for us all!

Keep the Faith

Sincerely,
