Governor Greg Abbott is set to address the state on Sunday, articulating his legislative priorities for the upcoming session. His focus is likely to include proposals for private school vouchers and reforms to the bail system, as he continues to advocate for public funding for private education. This televised address will air at 5 p. m. on 15 Nexstar stations, including KIAH-TV in Houston, marking a significant departure from the traditional format of addressing lawmakers directly at the Capitol.

Abbott's choice of venue—a local oil company—reflects his strategic approach to garner attention for his agenda. In addition to education, he is expected to emphasize the necessity of investing in statewide water infrastructure and propose a substantial increase in funding for border security operations under Operation Lone Star. The governor's priorities come on the heels of a year spent campaigning against Republican opposition to his voucher initiative. As Abbott seeks to consolidate support for these measures, his address will provide insight into the legislative landscape in Texas. The political implications of his proposals are likely to resonate across the state, influencing both public opinion and legislative action.
