Biography
A lifelong resident of Harris County, Briscoe’s Texas roots run deeper than most. Named Briscoe in honor of a family surname Briscoe, his lineal ancestor, Andrew Briscoe fought in the Texian Army and was a signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence.
The son of a refinery operator, Briscoe grew up in a working class home in Deer Park where he was taught the value of hard work and a strong commitment to his family and community. A graduate of Deer Park High School, Briscoe attended San Jacinto College. He then went on to earn a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Houston-Downtown and a Doctorate of Jurisprudence from South Texas College of Law. Currently, Briscoe owns and operates the Law Office of Briscoe Cain, PLLC and serves the State of Texas as a Captain in the Texas State Guard.
Briscoe has a record of defending the unborn, religious liberty, and election integrity and his advocacy has made headline news.
In December of 2015, Briscoe successfully defended the religious rights of Beaumont Police Officers when the City of Beaumont banned them from having a Bible study on their lunch break. In 2016, he released invoices exposing four Texas Medical Schools for using tax dollars to purchase aborted fetal tissue. Briscoe has been a delegate to six Texas GOP conventions dating back to 2010 and in 2020 he served as a presidential elector.
As the State Representative of House District 128, Briscoe has carried those same values with him to Austin. He has consistently received high legislative ratings from organizations like the National Federation of Independent Business, National Rifle Association, Texas Right to Life, Young Conservatives of Texas, and other conservative groups.
Briscoe currently serves as Chair of the Texas House Agriculture & Livestock Committee and as a member of the Insurance Committee. Previously, Briscoe served as Chair of the Elections Committee and as Chair of the Select Committee on Driver's License Issuance and Renewal. He has also served on the Committees on International Relations & Economic Development, Defense & Veteran Affairs, and Juvenile Justice & Family Issues. In 2021, Briscoe authored and passed legislation making it illegal for social media companies to ban users for their political viewpoints.
Briscoe also serves as a member of the Windstorm Insurance Legislative Funding and Funding Structure Oversight Board, a legislative oversight board that is tasked with, among other things, overseeing the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association's funding.
Briscoe and his wife Bergundi have five sons and reside in Deer Park. The Cains are members of Faith Family Church in Baytown where Bergundi serves on the worship team.

Residente del condado de Harris por mucho tiempo, las raíces de Briscoe en Texas son más profundas que la mayoría. Le llamaron Briscoe en honor al apellido de la familia Briscoe. Su ancestro lineal, Andrew Briscoe, luchó en el Ejército Texano y firmó la Declaración de la Independencia de Texas.
Briscoe creció en un hogar de clase media en Deer Park. Hijo de un operador de planta y de una enfermera ocupacional, le enseñaron el valor del trabajo arduo y del sólido compromiso con su comunidad. Briscoe trabajó para costearse la universidad y la Facultad de Derecho. Obtuvo su título de la Universidad de Houston, en el Downtown, y un doctorado en Jurisprudencia de la Facultad de Derecho de South Texas College. Actualmente, Briscoe es asesor sénior en Fulton Strahan Group, PLLC, un bufete que ofrece servicios legales para empresas en Houston (Texas).
Briscoe siempre ha defendido a los no nacidos y la libertad religiosa. En el 2016, la abogacía de Briscoe apareció en los titulares de prensa cuando divulgó facturas para exponer a las facultades de Medicina de Texas por usar los dólares de los contribuyentes para comprar tejido de fetos abortados. En diciembre del 2015, Briscoe defendió exitosamente los derechos religiosos de los oficiales de policía de Beaumont cuando la Ciudad de Beaumont les prohibió que tuvieran estudios bíblicos durante su horario de almuerzo.
Como representante estatal del distrito 128 de la Cámara, Briscoe llevó sus valores a Austin. Constantemente ha recibido calificaciones legislativas altas de organizaciones como la Federación Nacional de Negocios Independientes, la Asociación Nacional del Rifle, Texas Right to Life, Conservadores Jóvenes de Texas, y otros grupos conservadores.
En la Cámara de Representantes de Texas, Briscoe es ahora el presidente del Comité de Elecciones, y miembro del Comité de Comercio e Industrias. Previamente, Briscoe fue presidente del Comité Selecto de Emisión y Renovación de Licencias de Conducir. También ha trabajado en los comités de Relaciones Internacionales y Desarrollo Económico; de Defensa y Asuntos de Veteranos, y el de Justicia Juvenil y Asuntos Familiares.
Asimismo, Briscoe es miembro de la Junta de Financiamiento Legislativo de Seguros de Huracanes y de la Junta de Supervisión de Financiamiento para Estructuras. La Junta de Supervisión de Financiamiento para Estructuras está integrada por cuatro miembros del Senado y de la Cámara de Representantes de Texas, y tiene la función de recolectar información sobre el financiamiento de la Asociación de Seguros de Huracanes de Texas; determinar cómo los estados trabajan con los fondos comunes de riesgos, y llevar a cabo reuniones públicas para escuchar testimonios sobre el financiamiento de la organización. Briscoe también es capitán en la Guardia Estatal de Texas.
Amoroso esposo y orgulloso padre de cinco hijos, Briscoe y su esposa, Bergundi, residen en Deer Park. La familia Cain asiste a la iglesia Faith Family Church en Baytown.
