Greg Abbott is currently in India celebrating India as a constitutional republic.
The Texas Constitution clearly states that when the governor is out of the country the lieutenant governor becomes the acting governor.
Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick is the Acting Governor of Texas during this civil war border crisis.
In 2020, Dan Patrick referred to vote-by-mail expansion efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic as a "scam by Democrats to steal the election."
During the pandemic, Dan Patrick worked to increase access to hydroxychloroquine.

for those that don't know the gov. is merely the figure head/headline grabber in Texas. the lt gov has vast power running the legislature and when mr. W(heels)EF wants to be out of the country for 'civil war' guess who is actually pulling the strings!
