On Monday, I met with Houston Methodist Hospital staff members to discuss strategies to build a healthier Texas during and after the pandemic.
Thank you to Houston Methodist Hospital for serving as a model for vaccine administration. Houston Methodist is one of 77 vaccination centers throughout the state and the hospital currently administers an average of over 4,000 COVID-19 vaccines a day.
So far, over 1.7 MILLION vaccines have been delivered to providers across The Lone Star State. And over 1.3 MILLION have been administered.
This week, Texas is slated to receive its largest supply of vaccines totaling 843,000. Of those doses 333,650 are first doses and 509,400 are second doses.
As we continue to ramp up our vaccination efforts, Texas will work with our public and private partners to reduce hospitalizations, mitigate the spread of COVID-19, and ensure a healthier future for the Lone Star State.
ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS

Yesterday, I held a roundtable discussion with law enforcement and public safety advocates to discuss legislative priorities to ensure a safer future for every Texan.
Texas will always be a law-and-order state, and we must lead the way for the rest of the nation when it comes to supporting our police.
The government's number one responsibility is to keep its citizens safe, and we will not allow cities to recklessly defund the police and put innocent lives in danger.
I look forward to working with my partners in the Legislature this session to build a safer future for the Lone Star State.

Thank you to our partners from the City of Lubbock, Lubbock County, Covenant Health System, and UMC Health System for working with TDEM to launch this new center.
REINSTATEMENT OF AUSTIN'S HOMELESS CAMPING BAN COULD BE ON MAY BALLOT
[link removed]
If Austin doesn't reinstate the ban on homeless camping the state will do it for them.
Contrary to what Austin leaders think, no one has a right to urinate and defecate wherever they want.
Homelessness promoted by Austin has also endangered public safety.
SUPREME COURT REJECTS PLEA FROM FORT WORTH HOSPITAL TO REMOVE CHILD FROM LIFE SUPPORT
[link removed]
This week, The United States Supreme Court rejected a preliminary plea from a Fort Worth hospital to remove Baby Tinslee from life support.
Next month she will turn 2.
Texas will continue to advance laws that protect life.

I congratulate Joe Biden on his Inauguration as President, and pray that he is guided by God and follows the Constitution as he assumes leadership of the greatest country in the history of the world. May we forever remain that way.
