East Texas Lawmakers To Join Abbott At Border

Two East Texas lawmakers reportedly will attend Gov. Greg Abbott’s upcoming border security press conference. They are Texas House District 5 Rep. Cole Hefner of Mt Pleasant and Texas House District 8 Rep. Cody Harris of Palestine. The Governor plans the press conference for Thursday at Shelby Park in Eagle Pass. Abbott has recently defied a U.S. Supreme Court ruling allowing the federal government to remove razor wire at the border by ordering the Texas National Guard to place more razor wire.
