Greg Abbott

Governor of Texas. Husband to @TexasFLCA. Our lives are not defined by our challenges, but by how we respond to them.

[Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX]

@AliBradleyTV Also remember there is an additional $3 billion available from DOJ that Texas will apply for.

[Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX]

You guys are such bad lawyers.
You showed up unprepared, uninformed & unpersuasive.
You don't know the law & it showed.

Minn. is the literal definition of a sanctuary state because you refuse to assist in enforcing immigration laws.

I'll put Minneapolis at the top of the list for future bus drop offs if we ever have a President like Joe Biden again.

[Keith Ellison @keithellison]

Greg Abbott has a black-letter legal and constitutional duty to sign the rendition warrant to return fugitive Christian Castro to Minnesota — full stop. Abbott is playing with constitutional fire.

By refusing to extradite Castro, Greg Abbott is turning Texas into a sanctuary state for violent criminals. Regardless of today’s ruling, I will keep fighting so that Agent Castro will face justice in Minnesota.

So sad to lose this legend.

Texas will lower our flags in her honor.

God Bless Dolly.

[Fox News @FoxNews]

BREAKING: President Trump orders flags to be lowered throughout the U.S. for one week to honor music legend Dolly Parton after her passing.

"This is a true loss for millions of people. There has never been anyone like her, and never will... Rest in Peace, Dolly! The World loves you."

DFW stopped plans to install additional Islamic wudu washing facilities after I threatened to withhold state grants to entities operating these airports.

To end existing facilities at DFW and IAH, today I referred both government-owned airports to the U.S. Department of Justice for investigation and enforcement.

If the existing facilities are on city owned property, Texas will pursue litigation for religious discrimination at taxpayer-funded facilities.

[Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX]

My directive has halted up to 1,800 data center projects.

I established guidelines & guardrails to protect Texas communities:

✔️Data centers must not take water needed by local communities,
✔️They must not take power needed by the Texas power grid,
✔️They must lower the cost of electricity,
✔️They must not disrupt neighborhoods or rural communities.

These guidelines are now the universally applied standard in Texas.

45 years later and she's still my best friend.

Happy Anniversary, Cecilia!

DFW Airport scraps controversial Islamic footwashing station plan as Texas Gov Abbott takes aim.

It was clearly illegal. https://t.co/ij9dSwYpHN

[Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX]

Government-owned airports cannot favor one religion over all others.

DFW plans to install Islamic wudu washing facilities are illegal. I've directed a review of all state grants to both airports for possible revocation, and referred DFW & IAH to USDOT for investigation.

Texas will not allow illegal religious discrimination at taxpayer-funded facilities.

[Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX]

Today, an Apache helicopter crashed in Bell County during Fort Hood operations, killing two members of our military.

Join Cecilia and me in prayer for their families and the entire Fort Hood community. Texas is forever indebted to those who serve our state and nation.

Texas has zero tolerance for predators in classrooms.

I am proposing a sweeping crackdown to protect Texas students from abuse in schools:
• 10 year mandatory minimum prison sentences
• No parole
• No community supervision
• Mandatory sex offender registration

Sex offenders belong in prisons, nowhere near students.

Tough laws & strong law enforcement have reduced crime.

Statewide crime is down 3 straight years:
3.3% in 2023
8.2% in 2024
13% in 2025

We made bail tougher, backed law enforcement, and targeted violent repeat offenders. Three straight years of lower crime prove those policies work, and Texans are safer because of them.

New data centers are being paused.

Data centers must disclose their plans to:

✅ pay their own way
✅ provide their own power
✅ reuse their own water
✅ reduce the cost of electricity
✅ & avoid disturbing neighborhoods

[Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX]

This is insane.

Miss North Carolina gets crown canceled because she is a Christian conservative.

Former Miss North Carolina USA says politics, religion cost her the title https://t.co/F27iaKIfZu

[Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX]

Every day, data centers are announcing their compliance with the guidelines and guardrails I have put on data centers. They must:
- bring their own money
- bring their own power
- reuse their own water
- reduce the cost of electricity
- not build around neighborhoods
- support the stability & reliability of the Texas power grid.

[Brad Johnson @bradj_TX]

Inbox: QTS Data Centers, "one of the world's largest data center operators and a long-term investor in Texas," announces support for @GregAbbott_TX's audit directive issued earlier this week that will pause the current pace of batch zero. #txlege

[Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX]

I paused new data center projects pending a statewide grid audit.

Data centers must disclose their plans to pay their own way, provide their own power, reuse their own water, reduce the cost of electricity, & avoid disturbing neighborhoods.

Thank you Comptroller Huffines.

Slashing and eliminating property taxes is essential priority.

[Comptroller Don Huffines @DonHuffines]

The Texas economy is strong and continues to grow. The increased tax revenue to the state should also put the Legislature in position to deliver meaningful property tax relief during the next legislative session.

Governor @GregAbbott_TX has made this a priority, and I will work with him and all our state leaders to accomplish this goal. 

Lowering property taxes will make housing more affordable and free up money in the family budget for everyday expenses like gas and groceries.

[Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX]

Main Street Texans Back Abbott's Health Insurance Plan.

It will lower the cost of health insurance for the average family by more than $1,000.

Save business almost 20%.

Add more than a million Texans to the insured rolls.

Last night, for the first time ever, ALL statewide Republican candidates (non-judicial) gathered to chart the course to victory in November.

We will ensure Texas remains solid Red and we will preserve common sense over the chaotic policies promoted by radical Democrats.
