Rep. Briscoe Cain, R-Deer Park
Cain, a lawyer since 2016, pursued legal action to further his goals, particularly his opposition to abortion.
In March, Cain helped a Texas man file a wrongful death lawsuit against three women who allegedly helped his ex-wife terminate her pregnancy, and in 2022 he sent cease-and-desist letters ordering eight nonprofits to stop helping women travel out of state for abortions “or face criminal prosecution.”
Earlier this year, Cain was among the first lawmakers to call for the resignation of Slaton, at one point calling him a “sexual predator.”
Cain also broke with Paxton supporters in voting for impeachment.
“The sole responsibility of the House is to assess whether sufficient cause has been presented to warrant a trial before the Senate,”
Cain is a 2012 graduate of South Texas College of Law and is a partner at Strahan Cain, a Houston firm “specializing in startups and small businesses,” according to his LinkedIn page.
