Abbott: Texas is reaching out to help Uvalde heal
A reader calls on Texas Republicans to pass significant mental health legislation given their rhetoric after the Uvalde massacre.The peaceful community of Uvalde has endured horror these past weeks that has shaken every Texan to the core.
Parents are worried about the basic safety and security of their schools.

The faces of the grieving families and stunned residents of Uvalde, with whom Cecilia and I have met, will leave deep and lasting scars on our hearts.

The law makes it a state jail felony to illegally purchase a firearm by falsifying information on a background check form.
