Governor Abbott

After the Texas Legislature failed in the special session to pass a bill to restrict minors' access to THC products, Governor Greg Abbott signed an executive order putting these limits in place. But what is Abbott calling for? And how soon will they go into effect? Is this going to be enough to keep THC out of the hands of teens in Texas?

Gov. Greg Abbott says the bill is aimed at preventing, "Sharia compounds" he claims endanger Texans.

The legislation was crafted in response to the state's historic July 4 floods which killed more than 130 people, including nearly 40 children.

The plan redraws Texas' congressional districts, potentially shifting several seats from Democratic to Republican control in the 2026 midterms.

Gov. Greg Abbott and U.S. Customs and Border Protection have signed an agreement that allows Texas guardsmen to make immigration arrests on the border.

Regardless of what courts rule regarding SB4, a climate of distrust has permeated among immigrant and mixed-status families in Texas.

Abbott responded to 39 Texas House members who called for increased spending on public education on the same day the Texas teachers' union released a report detailing funding issues.

Abbott has credited his Operation Lone Star for a recent drop in migrant encounters on the Texas-Mexico border.

The Republican governor’s comments on Wednesday effectively shut down one of the few proposals with seemingly bipartisan public support after the Robb Elementary school massacre in Uvalde.

The principal of Robb Elementary School has reportedly been placed on administrative leave, with pay. The suspension was not mentioned at last night’s school board meeting.
