We salute you, sir.
Some heroes wear capes — Chief Aaron Edwards wears blue.

Sheriff Wright will be missed. Thank you, sir.
I am sorry to hear that former Fort Bend County Sheriff Milton Wright passed tonight. Prior to serving as Sheriff, Wright served our State as a Texas Ranger. I thank him for his service to our community. I always enjoyed our conversations. He will be missed.

Please do not light brush piles right now.
🔥Wildfire danger ramps up again this week across portions of Texas as hotter temperatures, dry fuels, and gusty winds intensify. Avoid outdoor burning, secure trailer chains, and stay aware of local forecasts. Conditions can change quickly— be prepared: tfsweb.tamu.edu/wildfire-and…

Loose livestock is a daily occurrence across Texas. Did you know many Sheriff’s Offices have full-time “Livestock Deputies” to focus on the issue?
Have you seen our Mom? Loose goats, 33340 FM 1093 near Simonton. #Texas

Terrible news, Sheriff. We send our prayers to the deputy’s family and friends.
It is with profound sadness and deep sympathy that we announce the loss of a @HCSOTexas deputy. Please join us in praying for the loved ones and friends of our deputy, who was killed in an off-duty traffic collision early this morning at the 23000 Aldine Westfield/Ciderwood. Pct 4 deputies are handling the investigation.

🚨URGENT:🚨Texas DPS is aware of a fake memo circulating online and through media outlets announcing temporary 10-day road closures in the El Paso area. DPS is NOT closing the major highways – or any roads – in or out of the area over the next 10 days. Full statement here: bit.ly/4ciLbo0

Thank you for your support @tedcruz
Always a pleasure to meet with our great Texas Sheriffs. We discussed critical challenges facing law enforcement. The Lone Star State stands with our men and women in blue. Keeping Texans safe is a top priority, and I’ll keep fighting to ensure law enforcement has the resources they need to protect our communities. 🇺🇸

We remember and salute those who served in defense of our Nation.
WE WILL NEVER FORGET. 84 years ago, our country was attacked...the response from our GREATEST GENERATION solidified America as a SUPERPOWER. Our victory in WWII honors the service members lost during this tragic attack.

It’s that time again- @TexasFootball vs. @AggieFootball Friendships pause, bragging rights are on the line, and everyone is suddenly a ‘football expert.’ Whether you’re yelling ‘Hook ’Em’ or ‘Gig ’Em,’ just remember: we’re all Texans. Who’s winning today?! Pic: Benjamin Knox
