I’ve read they already have a state militia, the Texas State Guard. Don’t know if they’re capable of anything, though.
We have more than that. And, Gov Greg said the quiet part out loud to put them on notice to get ready:
The Texas National Guard, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and other Texas personnel are acting on that authority, as well as state law, to secure the Texas border.
Have Local Sheriff’s begin the deputizing of able-bodied men.
Full background checks for each, with a public oath to serve at the Gov’s pleasure. POST certified, ex-military first encouraged. Texans move to the front of the line.
National Guard Volunteers from other states should be granted temporary TX citizenship if necessary.
Next, begin full inspection of all trucks, trains and buses entering from Mexico (full inspection end-to-end by the book).
Suspend operations of all Central American based banks operating in Texas.
just for starters.
