Can TX Sheriffs deputize the menfolk in their counties? If so, now would be a good time.
They can deputize everyone they want.

Gotta love guys like this. Wish every Sheriff was like this.
Full background checks for each, with a public oath to serve at the Gov’s pleasure. POST certified, ex-military first encouraged. Texans move to the front of the line.
National Guard Volunteers from other states should be granted temporary TX citizenship if necessary.
