Texas Mobilizes State Resources Ahead of Winter Weather Threat

Gov. Abbott directed the Texas Division of Emergency Management to activate statewide emergency resources in anticipation of a winter weather system bringing freezing temperatures, snow, sleet, and potential ice across Texas. Agencies from TxDOT to the National Guard will support road treatments, warming centers, and public safety operations. Texans are urged to stay weather-aware, check DriveTexas.org for road conditions, visit TexasReady.gov for safety tips, and follow local guidance; warming centers and other assistance will be coordinated through state resources listed at tdem.texas.gov/warm.
