Harris conducted a town hall with his constituents in Palestine, Texas on February 28, 2025 with Representative Brad Buckley accompanying him, regarding the topic of school vouchers. The town hall was scheduled for a two-hour session beginning at 5pm in the Palestine High School auditorium. However, Harris terminated the town hall early and departed the forum amidst vocal dissent from the attendees regarding his stance which supported school vouchers. He later criticized the attendees of the town hall that consisted of parents, educators, and concerned citizens by stating, "Unfortunately, some in the crowd chose to disrupt the conversation, turning it into a Palestinian-style protest that drowned out voices meant to inform, engage, and debate in good faith. Those who came to listen, learn, and respectfully express their positions were met with yelling, name-calling, and chaos."
