The president of the Alamo Trust, which manages the historic site, resigned after Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick called on her to do as much over views she expressed in a doctoral dissertation in 2023 suggesting she disagrees with Republican leaders.
Kate Rogers said Friday that she had submitted her resignation Thursday with “mixed emotions” following a letter that Patrick sent the Alamo Trust’s board of directors about Rogers’ writings that he said were “incompatible with the telling of the history of the battle of the Alamo.”
“It became evident through recent events that it was time for me to move on. I am incredibly proud of the team we built and the work we did together over the past 4 and a half years,” Rogers said. “I remain grateful to the board for this incredible opportunity that enabled me to grow both personally and professionally and to our state’s leadership and the Legislature for their generous support.”
