Here is Phelan’s 2024 personal financial statement.
Showing ownership in Third Coast Bank #txlege
Ridiculous and completely disingenuous. I do not own any part of Third Coast Bank. I originally invested back in 2009, many years before first running for office. After they went public several years ago, I began selling shares and am now completely divested, which will be reflected in my upcoming personal financial statement. Facts matter, and I find it shameful that the Lt Governor of TX has resorted to spreading complete falsehoods in an effort to control the House chamber.
