What they say

His campaign site states what he says he would do with the seat.

“I am not running for U.S. Senator to be a "lawmaker." I am running to repeal as many laws as I can.”

What the record shows ·

No comparable action was found in the records checked. The Texas legislative and attorney general records checked list no service for Brown. A search of the Legislative Reference Library's member index returns 45 Texas legislators whose surname begins Brown and none of them is him, and the attorney general's opinion index, which reaches back to 1939, does not include him. What the official record does carry is the candidacy itself. The FEC's candidate index records him as a Libertarian candidate for this Senate seat in 2024 and again in 2026, and the Texas Secretary of State's final ballot certification of August 28, 2026 places him on the November 3, 2026 ballot as the Libertarian candidate.

Limit: No comparable action was found in the Texas legislative and attorney general records checked; the opinion index starts in 1939. This bounded search does not establish his entire office history or predict future votes.

Its twelve platform sections are digital privacy, taxes, immigration, foreign policy, free trade, emergency powers, gun rights, the war on drugs, justice reform, education, police reform and health care. It carries the banner claim about special interests, his biography, his party offices, and links to X and Facebook and to no other account. It also carries a News Coverage index of dated outside articles about his campaign, which this desk did not search; the Media section lists interviews and the Quotes section lists quotations from others.

  2. Texas Legislators: Past and Present, member search for the surname Brownhttps://lrl.texas.gov/legeLeaders/members/lrlhome.cfm

    Legislative Reference Library of Texas · Reviewed Sep 14, 2026

    The library's member index covers every Texas legislator from the 1st Legislature to the present. A search on the last name Brown, submitted as the form's own POST because the equivalent GET returns a narrow-your-search redirect and no result, returned 45 members, from Albert 'Al' Brown to Linda Harper-Brown. None of them is Theodore E. Brown Jr. Cited for the absence of any Texas legislative record for the Libertarian candidate.

    The office's own index of every attorney general's numbered opinion series. Ken Paxton, 2015 to present, KP-0001 to KP-0526, the most recent listed being KP-0526 of August 26, 2026. The same index lists John Scott, 2023, provisional attorney general, JS-0001 to JS-0007, and Angela Colmenero, 2023, provisional attorney general, AC-0001 to AC-0005. This is the only countable ledger the office publishes; it counts opinions and not lawsuits.

  5. Ballot Certification Report, 2026 November General Election (document)

    Texas Secretary of State · Published Aug 28, 2026 · Reviewed Sep 14, 2026

    The final ballot certification for the November 3, 2026 general election, signed by Deputy Secretary of State Dave Nelson on August 28, 2026 under sections 142.010 and 161.008 of the Election Code. Its U. S. SENATOR block lists KEN PAXTON (REP), JAMES TALARICO (DEM) and TED BROWN (LIB), in that order, which is the ballot order this desk follows. The document is served slowly and closes the connection part-way; it was fetched with a resuming request until the whole 5,919,631 bytes arrived, because a truncated copy reads as a corrupt PDF rather than as a failed download.
