Governor Greg Abbott will deploy 5,000 National Guard troops and 2,000 DPS troopers while officials urge protesters to rally outside the Crowley Courts building — warning that outside agitators are not welcome — and police focus on public safety.  CBS Texas
  • FEMA provided over $306 million in aid to Denton County after deadly tornadoes in 2024—now the White House plans to phase out the agency by the end of hurricane season and shift disaster response to state agencies. Denton officials are watching the changes and the potential impact on local programs such as the pending storm shelter rebate grant.  KERA
