Texas Republican Congressman Troy E. Nehls revealed on Saturday that he will not seek re-election after the current Congress, choosing instead to return home and prioritize his family.
Nehls is endorsing his twin brother, Trevor, to fill his seat.
Nehls, a staunch Trump ally and vocal critic of the radical left’s agenda, shared the news on X after consulting with his wife and daughters over Thanksgiving.
“After more than 30 years in law enforcement serving and protecting my community as a police officer, constable, Fort Bend County Sheriff, an Army veteran, and six years representing this district in Congress, I have made the decision, after conversations with my beautiful bride and my girls over the Thanksgiving holiday, to focus on my family and return home after this Congress,” Nehls’ statement began.
Nehl’s continued, “Before making this decision, I called President Trump personally to let him know of my plans. President Trump has always been a strong ally for our district and a true friend, and I wanted him to hear it from me first.”
“Serving this country in the military, serving our community in law enforcement, and serving this district in Congress has been the honor of my life. Thank you for your trust, your friendship, and your prayers,” the statement concluded.

Nehls elaborated in a separate post on Facebook, endorsing his brother:
Our district deserves a representative who already knows the people, the values, and the challenges we face. I’m proud to say that person is my twin brother, Trever Nehls, who shares the same commitment to defending our constitution, securing our borders, and putting America First. After my call with President Trump, I am confident Trever will earn President Trump’s endorsement.
I am endorsing my brother, Trever, to succeed me in Congress because I trust him, I believe in him, and I know he will fight every single day for the people of this district. He won’t need on-the-job training; he’s ready now.
Serving this country in the military, serving our community in law enforcement, and serving this district in Congress has been the honor of my life. Thank you for your trust, your friendship, and your prayers.
Nehls, who serves on the House Judiciary Committee, Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, and the Select Subcommittee on the January 6th Attack, has been a fierce advocate for law and order, border security, and exposing what he calls the “Big Fraud” in elections.
According to his Facebook page, Trever Nehls has served in law enforcement in Fort Bend County for 30 years.
His books, The Big Fraud and Borderless by Design, have become must-reads for conservatives battling election integrity issues and open-border policies. Over his tenure, Nehls has fought tirelessly against Biden’s disastrous immigration failures and stood firm with Trump during the witch hunts.
Nehls’ seat in TX-22 is a solidly red district encompassing parts of Houston’s suburbs.
This retirement adds to the growing list of GOP departures in a Congress that’s seen intense battles over everything from impeachments to spending bills.
Most recently, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene announced she will be leaving Congress in January.
Greene said in a video announcement, “I have too much self-respect and dignity, love my family way too much, and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms.”
