President Biden has misled the people of Texas, the media, Gov. Abbott, and me. White House documents show that he terminated the emergency declaration on the same day it was issued, leaving Texas unable to claim reimbursement for expenses incurred after the declaration was terminated.
In addition, he reduced our emergency request for 121 counties to 67, going back on his word and what he agreed to on our initial phone call. We will continue to work with FEMA and the White House to ensure that Texans receive all the federal aid they are eligible for and deserve.
Today, I will make a request for individual assistance (IA) that complies with federal law and is required by FEMA for 15 eligible counties. This number will grow as damage assessments continue, so they can begin to receive the help they need. #txlege
