A New Braunfels, Texas, woman arrested in January for setting fire to a county Republican Party’s headquarters was charged with terrorism, according to local media.
Grace Carol Brown was arrested Jan. 22 by the New Braunfels Police Department on suspicion of arson and burglary after employees at the Comal County Republican Party headquarters discovered the building had been broken into and a small fire had been set on Jan. 14, according to a Jan. 23 release. A Comal County grand jury added the terrorism charge on April 15, the San Antonio News-Express reported.
“Sadly, this incident is not isolated,” Texas Republican Party Chairman Abraham George told the Daily Caller News Foundation after the January attack. “Similar acts of vandalism and intimidation against political organizations have occurred in other parts of the country, underscoring a growing and unacceptable trend. Violence and intimidation have no place in our communities or in our democratic process, and those responsible must be held fully accountable.”
If convicted on the terrorism charge, Brown faces a 15-year minimum sentence under SB 1518, a Texas law passed in 2023, according to Hoodline. Federal and local authorities are still investigating the arson attack.
“It is alarming that the radical left is increasingly turning to violence, terrorism, and even assassinations in their bloodthirsty quest for power,” RNC spokesperson Zach Kraft told the DCNF. “Democrats, starting with James Talarico, need to unequivocally condemn political violence and urge their base to tone down the temperature and stop trying to kill President Trump and his supporters.”
“The Comal County Republican headquarters was violently attacked in the early morning hours of January 14, 2026. The New Braunfels Police Department and first responders came to the scene, assessed the situation, and within one week apprehended a suspect,” Comal County GOP Chair Anita Valdez said to the DCNF. “We have been very impressed with the investigation. The FBI and the local authorities have been thorough with their work culminating with the quick arrest of the suspect.”
Conservatives have faced a wave of political violence in recent years. Since the May 2022 leak of the draft opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, dozens of crisis pregnancy centers and prolife groups were vandalized or otherwise attacked.
Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh became the target of an assassination attempt in June 2022, before the Dobbs decision was released. President Donald Trump survived two assassination attempts during the 2024 presidential campaign, while a third at the April 25 White House Correspondents’ Dinner was thwarted.
Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated during a Sept. 10 visit to Utah Valley University where he was debating students. Multiple conservative journalists covering anti-ICE riots in the Minneapolis area, including Savanah Hernandez, Cam Higby and Nick Sortor, were attacked by left-wing agitators.
In April, a man threw a rock into the New Mexico Republican Party headquarters, breaking a window near a desk that would have been occupied 12 minutes later.
“Despite this horrific event, myself, along with the volunteers, remain steadfast in continuing our work to register voters, run the Primary Runoff election and prepare for the State Convention and Midterm election,” Valdez said. “Nothing will stop us from our mission to maintain our Republic and keep Texas Red.”

Does she get to keep that lovely nose ring while she’s in the slammer?
Looks the part. Straight out of Central Casting.
She’s got snot hanging out her nose.
It’s going to take some electro-shock therapy to get the crazy out of that one.
She’s got snot hanging out her nose.
Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes
Yep.
If she worked for that roofing company, bet they’re thrilled with her wearing that polo shirt...
She’s all yours.
Absolute loser...I hope this terrorist rots in prison at hard labor.
>She’s all yours.
Thanks, I need my roof reshingled
FAFO on steroids.
LOL! Lock up that POS. What does her family think? Will they pay for her incarceration? Criminals. F em.
A chain on the nose ring will keep her around.
Easy to train too
Hm?....How many Republican headquarters have been seriously vandalized? Compare that to any Democrat offices?
For the rest of her days.
Hope she hasn’t scheduled any MRIs.
Eeeeww...
