Texans, in the words of Gov. Greg Abbott Tuesday, have “mastered” the safe daily habits that prevent the contraction and spread of COVID-19.
Through Texans’ tireless efforts to obey public health guidelines and follow the governor’s statewide mask mandate, the pandemic is abating in the state, saving not only lives, but also allowing Abbott to slip the onerous bonds of responsibility and leave the fate of millions of our fellow Texans in the capable hands of the vigilant citizens of Texas.
“Texans have wrestled with COVID, and they have learned best how to conduct their own lives,” Abbott said in a press conference in Lubbock. “State mandates are no longer needed.”

(RNS) A suburban Texas church is helping a nearby mosque recover from the devastating snowstorms that hit last week.
First United Methodist Church of Denton, north of Dallas-Fort Worth, has started a GoFundMe campaign to help the Islamic Society of Denton pay for repairs needed in the wake of the disaster.
Not everyone in Texas is happy about it.
After video showing water pouring from burst pipes in the mosque’s ceiling went viral on social media, the church launched a GoFundMe campaign to fund repairs, which are expected to take weeks to complete. By Thursday (Feb. 25), nearly $55,000 out of a targeted $100,000 had been raised.
