Texas State Guard is bringing support and essential supplies the community of Onalaska, Texas, which was hit by a deadly EF3 tornado last week. As we help our fellow Texans rebuild, Texas Military Dept. continues current state & federal missions, while preparing for the future #DutyHonorTexas

Our Soldiers had the honor and privilege to show General Joseph Lengyel, Gen. Steven Nordhaus, the many missions our Texas Guardsmen are conducting to respond to the #COVID19 pandemic. Thank you Gen. Lengyel for taking the time to speak with our citizen-Soldiers and Airmen! #DutyHonorTexas

The Texas National Guard continues to support DPS guarding historical landmarks such as the Alamo and the State Capitol. To be clear, there has been no request nor plan to provide any type of support at any polling location in Texas.
