Gov. Abbott Extends Disaster Declaration for Another Month

AUSTIN, TX – Governor Greg Abbott Friday issued a proclamation extending his Disaster Declaration for all Texas counties in response to COVID-19.

"Extending this Disaster Declaration helps ensure that Texas has the resources and flexibility needed to effectively respond to COVID-19," said Governor Abbott. "To further mitigate the spread of the virus and overcome this challenge, Texans should continue to do their part by wearing a mask, social distancing, and staying home if possible."
