Texas Guard Poised for Border Service
The Texas National Guard remains ready for emergencies but is unlikely to be called by Governor Ferguson without War Department orders. If activated independently, Texas would incur at least 100000 dollars for weeks of service, while federal orders would shift costs to the U.S. government. The guard is at full strength and can mobilize quickly if federal authorities order border or Mexican expedition support.
