BRAZOS COUNTY, TX â Texas Task Force One [TX-TF1] is ready to deploy for winter storm assistance if needed, as is the Texas National Guard. Neither has been dispatched to the Brazos Valley.
However, the Texas Military Department recently dispatched 300 service members to assist across the State. National Guardsmen and women have been transporting residents to warming stations, and have assisted first responders. The Brazos Valley has not received any of these soldiers at this time, because local first responders have not requested any extra assistance.
