Future uncertain for Texas State Guard amid national guard talks
Texas Adjutant General's Department explained Amarillo and other state units face no reactivation of the national guard yet. A War Department circular limits enlistment to WWII veterans in state detachment and no new act has been passed. The Texas State Guard, created in 1941, remains the larger force focused on community security and law enforcement during the postwar period.
