Did you write to Gov Abbott?
I saw on the 2012 thread that you had written the previous gov, and gotten no answer:

Let me know how I can help.
I have not written to Gov Abbott yet. I may call the office as writing is so hard sometimes. I sent you a freepmail with the information for writing a letter if you are willing. Thank you!
