BRAZOS COUNTY, TEXAS â Governor Greg Abbott issued a statewide call Friday seeking jailers across the Lone Star State to assist at the border, but here locally, there s a hefty challenge jail administrators across the Brazos Valley are faced with.. staff availability. The State of Texas will not tolerate criminal activity, which is why we are stepping up to address this crisis in the Biden Administration s absence, said Governor Abbott in a press release Friday. Part of our comprehensive efforts to secure the border include enforcing all state and federal laws, which is why we are calling on jailers and sheriffs across the state to volunteer support for our border sheriffs. Working together, we will secure the border and keep our communities safe, Governor Abbott added.
