Texas Independent Party  is a political reform movement in the  state of Texas that strives to give more political power to the general public by gaining recognition for a growing movement of people who self-identify as “independent” 

Independent voters span the political spectrum on single issues, but are unified in their support for fundamental political reforms that seek to return government at all levels to the people, rather than special interests.  

The Texas Independent Party,  goals include: 

1. State-wide Initiative, Referendum and Recall, giving voters the right to petition to place issues on the ballot for a vote of the people and to recall elected officials. These reforms are enjoyed in 24 other states, but not in Texas at the state-wide or county-wide level. Texans do have this right at the municipal level.
2. Property Tax Reform
3. Fair ballot access for independent candidates and parties. Texas is one of the most difficult states in the country for state-wide ballot access for third parties and independent candidates. 
4. Verifiable elections, particularly with electronic voting. There is a growing consensus that all states need to return to the paper ballot.
5. Fair and open debates where independent candidates,   other than the Republican and Democratic Parties will participate in debates.
6. Instant Runoff Voting or Approval Voting to eliminate the so-called "spoiler factor" of independent candidacies.
7. Allow citizens to register and vote on Election Day, aka "same day voter registration".
8. Term Limits for elected officials.
