According to the group's website, the caucus aims to support "liberty-minded, grassroots Texans who want bold action to protect life, strengthen families, defend the U.S. and Texas Bills of Rights, restrain government and revitalize personal and economic freedoms in the State of Texas."
Cain is a lifelong resident of Harris County. After graduating from Deer Park High School, he attended the University of Houston-Downtown.
While attending college, Briscoe began pursuing an interest in Republican politics and founded the College Republicans club. He earned his B.A. in communications in 2008.
