flag Texas deploys task force to combat Houston’s repeat violent offenders with enhanced patrols and bail reforms.

flag Texas Governor Greg Abbott has launched a task force targeting repeat violent offenders in Houston, deploying state and local law enforcement to increase patrols in high-crime areas. flag The initiative, aimed at reducing crime through coordinated efforts, builds on recent bail reform laws limiting cashless bonds and supports Proposition 3, a November ballot measure that would deny bail for certain violent or sexual offenses. flag Abbott emphasized state-led public safety efforts, dismissing federal intervention concerns, and cited declining crime trends in parts of Houston, including a 20% drop in Greater Greenspoint over five years. flag The program will serve as a model for potential statewide expansion.
