A Guide to Your Texas Guardsmen A GUIDE TO YOUR TEXAS GUARDSMEN Texas Military Department Government Affairs Office FORMING AND ORGANIZING AMERICAS FIRST FIGHTING FORCE The National Guard formed in 1636 as American colonists trained all men age 16 - 60 in military skills and tactics. This Citizen-Soldier model allowed the colonies to grow without a standing army until the American Revolution. The Guard allowed congress to distribute national defense among the several states, avoiding a large federal force. Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution details the Federal and state roles in maintaining the Guard. FEDERAL STATE Provision of Weapons Appointment of Officers Training Standards Training Authority The utilization, training and structure of the Guard changed in 1903 with the passage of the Militia Act of 1903 (Dick Act) Guard units were reorganized to integrate with federal army units, Federal funding provided for training and schools, The president was given authorization federalize Guard members.

  • Tmd Seal: Design Elements
    1 How the Texas Military Department Saved the Symbols of Texas The Texas Military Department Seal is derived from the Texas Coat of Arms. This Coat of Arms and the closely related design of the State Seal have a long and storied history in their development, adaptation, misinterpretation of design, and eventual correction thanks to the efforts of the Texas Military Department successor the Adjutant Generals De- partment. The Texas Coat of Arms design predates Texas’ entry to the United States. In 1839 the offi- cial description of the coat of arms was registered as a “White star of five points, on an az- ure ground, encircled by an olive and live oak branches.” the seal would expand on this de- scription to include the words Republic of Texas encircling the entirety of the design. The design would be proposed and passed alongside the proposal of the iconic Lone star flag. No significant changes were proposed to these designs after 1839. Even admission to the union only resulted in a change from “Republic of Texas” to “The State of Texas” in 1845. As the state grew new departments, agencies, local governments and private citizens would customize versions of the seal, some including significant design interpretations not found within the accepted description of the seal. This often included the use of Post Oak leaves in place of Live Oak leaves, the addition of stars and diamonds as design flourishes and inclu- sion of T,E,X,A,S alternating between the point of the star. In 1946, the National Guard Bureau directed state Air Guards to develop a unique symbol to affix to aircraft fuselages, identifying which state owned the aircraft.

  • Governor's Budget
    2020 – 2021 GOVERNOR’S BUDGET GREG ABBOTT GOVERNOR’S BUDGET 2020-2021 TEXAS GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT Presented to the 86th Texas Legislature February 2019 G O V E R N O R G R E G A B B O T T February 5, 2019 The Honorable Dan Patrick, Lieutenant Governor The Honorable Dennis Bonnen, Speaker Members of Eighty-Sixth Legislature Texas is the envy of the nation. We lead the nation in job creation and boast the fastest-growing economy in America. The unemployment rate in Texas remains at an all-time historic low, while wages continue to rise. This economic success is shared by, and benefits, all Texans. I am especially proud that Texas leads the nation in jobs created by African-American business owners and Hispanic women business owners. The strength of our economy also reflects the diversity of our economy – from aerospace to cybersecurity, financial services to manufacturing, and Fortune 500 companies to small business and startups. You and your colleagues have laid the foundation for this success by passing the laws and appropriating the funds required to create, preserve, and expand the environment for a robust economy: low taxes; light, fair and efficient regulation; public safety; and a free and educated population and workforce. All of these efforts have been pursued while continuing to manage the state budget with proper fiscal constraint and stewardship. Those values that brought us here are essential to carry forward. But there is more we must do. As we begin the 86th Legislative Session, we stand at the threshold of our past achievements and are presented with the opportunity and the duty to ensure that this unparalleled success continues for generations to come.
