Write to Governor Abbott: Stop SB 3 and Save Legal Hemp in Texas

Letter to Governor Abbott: Veto SB3

  1. Be Respectful and Professional
    ● Use a calm, serious tone — even if you’re angry or emotional.
    ● Avoid insults, sarcasm, or profanity.
    ● Remember: This is a formal letter to the Governor of Texas.
  2. Start with Who You Are
    ● Introduce yourself and if you’re in the industry – your business/role in the hemp industry
    ● Include how long you’ve been operating, how many employees you have, and what your
    business contributes to your local community.
    ● Example: “My name is Sarah Mendoza, and I own a hemp wellness store in San Marcos that
    employs 12 Texans and serves hundreds of customers weekly.”
  3. Explain the Impact SB3 Will Have on You
    ● Describe what will happen to your business, employees, and customers if this bill becomes law.
    ● If not in the industry – describe how this ban will affect you.
    ● Be specific: Will you have to shut down? Lay off staff? Lose income?
    ● Example: “If SB3 is signed, 100% of my revenue disappears overnight. I will have to close, lay off
    my staff, and forfeit the $250,000 I’ve invested building this business legally.”
  4. Emphasize That Texans Want Regulation, Not Prohibition
    ● Reinforce that you’re not against regulation — you support clear rules, safety standards, age
    limits, and enforcement.
    ● SB3 is not regulation — it’s a ban.
  5. Appeal to Shared Values
    ● Speak to Governor Abbott’s values: economic growth, limited government, veterans, Texas
    freedom.
    ● Mention how this bill contradicts those principles.
    ● Example: “This bill doesn’t reflect conservative values — it destroys small business and expands
    government control over lawful commerce.”
  6. End With a Clear Ask
    ● Politely but firmly request that he veto the bill.
    ● Thank him for his time and service.
    ● Example: “I respectfully urge you to veto SB3 and protect my right to operate a legal, tax-paying
    business in the state of Texas.”
