Rep. Mark Dorazio has spent a lifetime serving our community and the Republican Party – as a Precinct Chairman, as Chairman of the Republican Party of Bexar County, as State Republican Executive Committeeman for Senate District 25, and now as State Representative for Texas House District 122.

His track record as a principled and effective conservative is decades long, and Mark is proud to have delivered on the issues his constituents care about most.

Below you will find many of the Texas victories Mark delivered for his constituents in 2025:

Healthcare Costs

SB 493 — Ended the Pharmacy “Gag Clause”

HB 1314 — Forced Hospitals to Show the Price First
Mark Dorazio required hospitals and clinics to tell patients what their care will cost before it happens — and banned them from padding the final bill above that price. No more surprise bills you never agreed to.

Mark Dorazio stopped insurers from forcing Texans to bundle home and auto coverage just to keep a policy — freeing families to shop every policy for the best deal.

Taking on Big Insurance Companies

Punishing Crimes Against Children

HB 2306 / SB 1212 — Ended Parole for Child Traffickers
Mark Dorazio coauthored the law eliminating parole for those who traffic children and disabled Texans — and made all human trafficking a first-degree felony, so predators serve every day of their sentence.

Public Safety

SJR 5 / Prop. 3 — Denied Bail to Violent Offenders
Mark Dorazio gave judges the power to deny bail to defendants charged with murder, rape, and child trafficking — keeping the most dangerous offenders off the street before trial. Texas voters ratified it as Proposition 3.

Cost of Living
