Texas' Republican Party is in a bit of a mess right now. The state's GOP chair, Abraham George, is in hot water. A representative accused him of playing favorites in the race for the next House speaker. This didn't go down well with everyone, and a representative named Cody Harris filed an ethics complaint. Surprisingly, the state's ethics body dismissed it quickly. This quick action has left many wondering if things are fair or if there's more going on behind the scenes. There's also a division in the party between traditional conservatives and far-right groups. Some Republicans are even questioning if the Ethics Commission has too much power. The big question now is how the party can make sure its leaders are behaving correctly and stay united. Politics can be a tough game, and it seems like the Texas GOP is facing some big challenges right now.
