State lawmakers passed the law after a North Texas homeowners’ association barred landlords from renting to Section 8 tenants. Most of the affected tenants in that neighborhood were Black.
“That proved too hostile to low-income tenants even for the Republican-dominated Texas Legislature.”
I didn’t think such a limit even existed for Republicans. Especially considering they’re usually the WASP types that want to keep minorities out of their neighborhoods.

They very occasionally can surprise you. Our ultra-Republican legislature in Indiana also got rid of textbook fees for grade schoolers.
It’s about $$. Don’t stand between corporate landlords and their opportunity to make a profit.
