Message from the Governor

The state of Texas is strong; our people, resilient. As we have seen in years past, when tested by fire, flood, or hurricane, Texans respond with resilience and calm resolve. And just as we overcame those challenges, we will overcome this one. When neighbors help neighbors, our resilience is redoubled. I have no doubt that Texans will continue to work together in that spirit over the coming days and weeks. And we are here to help.

  -Governor Greg Abbott
