Governor Abbott using a Texas Force to learn how to conduct a special operations. Big Springs did invite Jade Helm. Does anybody know if the land owners and cities and counties will be paid through government contracts?
Will Jade Helm be conducting border training for the DPS?

It is important that Texans know their safety, constitutional rights, private property rights and civil liberties will not be infringed, Abbott wrote. By monitoring the Operation on a continual basis, the State Guard will facilitate communications between my office and the commanders of the Operation to ensure that adequate measures are in place to protect Texans.
Do you know what the Texas Guard is? Its not the Texas National Guard. Its just the Texas Guard. Its like the Boy Scouts except with no adult supervision.
Remember the old sheriff we had here who often tied his shoelaces together? He was the head of the Texas Guard here and his mistress was the Lt. Col. I am not making that up. Just ask anybody.
The Texas Guard is for people too old or too chicken to join the real military. They are for civil help only, like cleaning up after a hurricane. Heres what they get paid. They do not get to carry guns, even if they have one.

(4,695 posts)I hear that Local Texas Law Enforcement Agencies are not happy about this. This law would forbid them from asking to see a permit for carrying the gun. Felons could have a gun and carry it around, not questions ask. How about a deranged person of known strange behavior? Men carrying, into a theater?

(My OP and replies have absolutely nothing to do with RW fear tactics of some government force coming into houses and taking away guns and rounding up people to send off their land and on to a FEMA camp.)
