A statement from Dean also said he passed almost a dozen bills "to prevent foreign control of Texas aquifers, protect rural water access, and preserve local control over vital water supplies."
Dean said he has been endorsed by President Donald Trump and Gov. Greg Abbott.
Dean so far has one challenger in the March Republican primary. Melissa Beckett of Longview announced her candidacy earlier in June.
