In Trophy Club, Texas, and surrounding areas, a local leader is involved in a national effort to expand protections for religious expression. Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick chaired the Commission on Religious Liberty, which was created by President Donald Trump.

The commission released 12 recommendations after hearing from over 100 witnesses. These recommendations are now under consideration by the Trump administration. Patrick presented the findings alongside the president and other commission members.

Further details on the commission's recommendations and the potential impact on the separation of church and state are available from the source. The effort is expected to spark debate on the issue.
