Unidentified group’s transgender student mailer arrives as Texas voting begins
A flyer mailed to Texas students presents itself as an LGBTQ+ resource guide, but the organization named on it denies creating or distributing it. Public records show a Wyoming LLC with the same name was formed in September, but do not reveal who is behind the mailing.
A flyer portraying itself as a resource guide for LGBTQ+ students has been arriving in Texas mailboxes as early voting begins for the Nov. 3 midterm election, but its creators remain unidentified.
The pamphlet, which says it comes from the Texas Transgender Student Union, discusses gender identity and offers guidance for students whose parents are unsupportive. Images of it have circulated on social media, prompting questions about who sent it and why.
The Transgender Education Network of Texas, whose materials appear to be a source for much of the flyer’s information, said it did not write, approve or distribute the mailing.
The return address printed on the flyer — 1611 W. Airport Blvd., Suite 123, in Meadows Place — does not appear to be valid. A similar address, 11611 W. Airport Blvd., corresponds to a mailbox at a UPS Store in the Houston area.
Business filings show that a Wyoming limited liability company named Texas Transgender Student Union LLC was formed Sept. 2, 2026. Its listed address is an office building in Sheridan used by a registered-agent service. Reporting by The Sheridan Press found that the address is associated with nearly 300,000 of Wyoming’s roughly 830,000 LLCs. The filings do not identify who formed the company or whether it is responsible for the flyers. The group has no apparent website or public social media accounts.
The mailers are appearing amid political debate over transgender issues in Texas, including in the U.S. Senate race. The campaigns of Ken Paxton and James Talarico said they had no involvement with the mailing.
Southern Methodist University political science professor Cal Jillson said the timing and subject matter could be intended to draw attention to an issue already prominent in the campaign. He said such political messages may do less to change voters’ minds than to influence which topics dominate discussion before an election.
The U.S. Postal Service had not responded to an inquiry about the flyer as of Tuesday, according to the report.
