I just announced Texas is OPEN 100%. EVERYTHING. I also ended the statewide mask mandate.

I invoked the Invasion Clauses of the U.S. & Texas Constitutions to fully authorize Texas to take unprecedented measures to defend our state against an invasion. I'm using that constitutional authority, & other authorization & Executive Orders to keep our state & country safe:

I'm calling for an investigation into the widespread problems with the Harris County elections last Tuesday. The allegations of election improprieties in our state's largest county may result from anything ranging from malfeasance to blatant criminal conduct.

Throwing Texans in jail whose biz's shut down through no fault of their own is wrong. I am eliminating jail for violating an order, retroactive to April 2, superseding local orders. Criminals shouldn’t be released to prevent COVID-19 just to put business owners in their place.

@elonmusk . Bring Twitter to Texas to join Tesla, SpaceX & the Boring company.

Texas swiftly processed more than 11 million votes & quickly announced winners across 2 time zones. To ensure transparency we allow poll watchers from each party to participate in the voting & tally processes. What is happening in some states undermines trust in elections.

God didn’t cause the accident that left me paralyzed, but He did help me persevere over that enormous challenge. I’m a testament that the glory of God is revealed by a young man’s back being broken in half and still rising up to be Governor of Texas. With God all is possible.
