The Texas Conservative Coalition Research Institute (TCCRI) is a conservative think tank in Texas. It was founded in 1996 by state legislators who had a vision to develop and implement conservative public policies in state government. The group states that it "is committed to shaping public policy through a principled approach to state government."[4]

Texas State Senator Larry Taylor was selected as the group's chairman in February 2015.[2] Jeff Sandefer sits on the organization's board.[5]

The group has fought energy regulations in Texas[6] and opposed stricter campaign finance disclosure limits.[7]
