Hispanic Republican leaders in Texas have been largely satisfied with Gov. Greg Abbott's maiden year in office.

Early in his tenure, he tapped Carlos Cascos, a Hispanic Republican from the border, to serve as secretary of state. During his first legislative session, he signed off on an $800 million infusion into the state's border security efforts. And he’s made efforts to meet with Mexican officials, and accepted an invitation to visit the state’s partner in trade.

Then came Donald Trump.
