Oath Keepers is a non-partisan association of current and formerly serving military, peace officers, and first responders, advocating that its members disobey any order that violates the Constitution of the United States. We publicly advocate strict obedience to the Constitution. Our oath is to the Constitution, not to any man or political party. When we entered service, we all swore an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign or domestic. That oath requirement comes from Article VI of the Constitution itself. Under that oath, it is our duty (and your duty) to refuse to obey ALL unconstitutional orders, no matter who gives them, and no matter what it costs us. We owe that commitment to the American people and to all our veteran brothers and sisters who came before us. All gave some. Some gave all. Now it’s our turn to stand in the gap, to preserve our Constitutional Republic. Do your duty. Honor your oath. Oath Keepers teaches classes on that oath-sworn duty and on the Constitution itself (how can you defend it if you don’t understand it?). See our class schedule below.


Further, Oath Keepers offers training services in the field of disaster preparedness, civil defense operations, and physical security. This includes our CPT (Community Preparedness Team) program, training neighborhood watches, church security teams, and teaching classes in emergency medicine, emergency communications, emergency power/water/heat, personal security and self-defense, ranch security, and community civil defense and physical security (training local citizens to serve as auxiliaries to local police and as volunteer posse for local county sheriffs).

Oath Keepers in Action: Response to deadly Texas Hill Country Flood, July 4, 2025.

Immediately after the tragic flood in the Texas Hill Country, we jumped in, boots on the ground, working with other Texas veterans under the leadership of a local Fire Marshall. Then we were asked to help Doc Pete Chambers’ (US Army Special Forces veteran) and his nonprofit Remnant Ministries, by issuing a public call to action on social media, asking for trained volunteers (military, peace officers, fire, EMS and medical, search and rescue, etc) to step up and help. We coordinated background checks and vetting of all volunteers (ultimately processing over 100 qualified and vetted volunteers) and we helped organize them and lead them on the ground, Once the rescue and body recover phase was winding down, we worked with Christian ministry BuckUp Relief and assisted in recovery and rebuild efforts. Sadly, we also attended funerals of victims, and the funeral of a local nurse who suffered a tragic heart attack while she was helping her neighbors.



We were proud to work with military, police, fire, search and rescue, EMS and medical veteran from all over Texas and from all over the nation. Some of our vetted volunteers came from as far away as Oregon and Illinois to help, We salute them all! It was Texans helping Texans, and it was Americans helping Americans.
