Border Security Disaster Proclamation Renewed
Governor Greg Abbott has renewed a disaster proclamation citing ongoing border security threats. The renewal reactivates state resources and grants special authorities to specific counties, reinforcing the administration’s long-standing focus on curbing illegal crossings. -
Flooding Disaster Declaration Also Extended
In a related move, Abbott renewed a separate disaster proclamation for flooding in multiple counties. The expanded declaration gives the state flexibility to deploy emergency resources, streamline recovery operations, and suspend certain regulations to aid in disaster response.
