TENT Investigates Source Of Impersonating Text Messages Received By Texans

El Paso, TX, October 14, 2026 —

Texans received text messages described as impersonating, prompting calls for answers from trans advocates and a Republican representative. The organization TENT is investigating the source of the messages, according to the available account.

The account does not specify who or what the messages purported to represent, how many people received them, or when they were sent. It also does not describe the messages’ contents or say whether recipients reported any consequences. The identity of the trans advocates and the GOP representative seeking answers was not provided.

TENT’s investigation is focused on determining where the messages came from. No findings have been reported, and details about the investigation’s scope, methods or timeline were not provided. The available information also does not say whether the messages have been linked to a person, organization or campaign.

The calls for answers place the messages under scrutiny, but the information provided does not specify what questions the advocates or representative raised, or whether they made public statements. It also does not identify any agency or other organization involved in examining the messages.

For now, the central reported developments are that Texans received the messages, trans advocates and a GOP representative sought answers, and TENT is investigating their source. Further details—including the messages’ wording, intended targets and origin—were not available in the account.
