Previewing Abbott’s State of the State Address
A Report From the Texas Scorecard
Continuing a trend he started during the COVID lockdowns, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is offering his State of State address tonight on television rather than in front of the assembled chambers of the Legislature and Supreme Court. Sydnie Henry previews what Abbott’s speech could entail.

This is the latest State of the State address in more than 30 years. The address is when Texas’ governors have officially presented their emergency items for legislative discussion – which gives them a head start on the constitutionally dictated calendar.
In his inaugural address last month, Abbott suggested that both school choice and significant property tax relief will be prioritized. Conservative activists have been pressuring the governor to include GOP priority legislation in his emergency items, including border security, the elimination of property taxes, vaccine choice, and a prohibition on the sexualization of Texas children.
