Jeffrey Harold Cason (born April 10, 1953) is an American businessman and politician who served a single term in the Texas House of Representatives, from January 2021 to January 2023. A member of the Republican Party, he was elected from District 92.

Cason was a member of the Bedford, Texas city council.^[1] After leaving the council, he unsuccessfully ran against state Representative Todd Smith of Euless in the 2010 Republican primary election.^[1][2]

Cason was a sales manager for Höganäs AB and H.C. Starck GmbH. After retiring, Cason was elected to the Texas House of Representatives in November 2020 and assumed office on January 4, 2021.^[3] He was assigned to the County Affairs Committee and Criminal Jurisprudence Committees.^[4]

In the state House, Cason was among the most conservative members,^[3][5] although, like fellow hardline right-winger Bryan Slaton, he chose not to join the House Freedom Caucus.^[5] As a freshman representative, Cason rebelled on his first vote, by voting against Republican Dade Phelan as speaker of the House. Phelan was elected on a 143–2 vote. Cason, who was among the chamber's most conservative members, objected to Phelan's plan to appoint Democrats to chair some committees.^[3] This act, as well as Cason repeatedly forcing recorded votes after voice votes, alienated him from Republican leaders, and in the redistricting cycle, his heavily Republican district centered on Hurst-Euless-Bedford was redrawn to a majority Democratic seat.^[3]

In April 2021, during a debate on legislation to allow handguns to be carried without a permit, Cason offered an amendment to lowered the minimum age for permitless carry from 21 to 18 years. Cason's amendment failed overwhelmingly, with 12 representatives voting yes and 121 voting no.^[6] In May 2021, Cason voted for the Texas six-week abortion ban.^[7]

Cason did not seek reelection in 2022.^[3]

Cason lives in Bedford, Texas with his wife, Wendy. Both had children from prior marriages.^[8][9]
