Texans for Vaccine Choice opposed a bill introduced by Jason Villalba which would have eliminated conscientious exemptions to vaccination requirements in the state of Texas. Referring to this bill, Jackie Schlegel said “This is Texas. We believe in parental rights in Texas. Like, that is just a fundamental belief that most Texans have that parents make decisions for their children, not the state.”<ref>https://www.texastribune.org/2016/04/02/pac-mobilizes-defend-vaccine-exemptions-texas/</ref>

When he ran for re-election, Villalba faced opposition from Texans for Vaccine Choice as well as a primary challenger who ran a campaign largely based on the vaccine issue.<ref>https://www.texastribune.org/2016/04/02/pac-mobilizes-defend-vaccine-exemptions-texas/</ref> Villalba won, but stated that he believed opposition from Texans for Vaccine Choice reduced his margin of victory, and said "I’m not interested in a suicide mission on this issue, I sense — and this is unfortunate — the only way a bill like this gets any traction is an even worse large-scale outbreak, between now and session. Short of that, I just don’t think there is going to be the appetite to do this bill.”<ref>https://www.texastribune.org/2016/04/02/pac-mobilizes-defend-vaccine-exemptions-texas/</ref>

Texans for Vaccine Choice also provides online instructions on how to file vaccine exemptions.<ref>http://www.texansforvaccinechoice.com/online/texas-vaccination-exemption-information/</ref>
