Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has made enacting a "school choice" plan his top priority for 2025. But an Austin Democrat is pushing back.

In his push for private school vouchers, Gov. Greg Abbott has repeatedly emphasized he has no intention of harming public schools. But the Texas Republican this week acknowledged that his priority policy would in fact result in public schools losing money.

AUSTIN — Texas Gov. Greg Abbott delivered his 2025 State of the State address on Sunday, Feb. 2, discussing his main priorities for the 89th session of the Texas Legislature, which is underway until June 2.

The "Texas Trio" sat down for an interview with Texas Governor Greg Abbott to discuss numerous items including school vouchers, education, border security, and more.

Abbott is set to discuss border security with President Trump Wednesday afternoon, the White House announced early Wednesday morning.

For the second consecutive week, Texas Governor Greg Abbott returned to Washington, D.C., on Wednesday to advocate for federal reimbursement of the state's border security efforts under Operation Lone Star.

Abbott is in Washington this week to lobby Congress for $11 billion to compensate Texas for money spent on his Operation Lone Star, to secure the border during the Biden Administration.

In the latest of his many attempts to curb Texas' high property taxes, Republican Governor Greg Abbott wants to give the state's homeowners the power to weigh in on every hike. It's a move that critics warn could have a dramatic impact on the funding for public services in the Lone Star State.
