Texas also has a Texas State Guard, which is not subject to federal control.

Indeed. Many states have provisions for a State Guard without having them activated.

And if I recall correctly, National Guard units are only subject to federal control when activated for federal service. Until then, their Governor is the Commander-In-Chief. So it is gratifying to see Governors starting to use their martial authority.

Other states also have active SDFs.
Not all.
But many.

All can, some simply choose not to...
