Most of what Texas can send in the way of armored vehicles is APCs. Media though tends to describe APCs as Tanks though for Dramatic effect.
Though they do have an Armored Calvary Squadron attached to Texas National Guard now. 2 Armored Companies. 14 Tanks each. and a Company worth of Mechanized Infantry with Bradley’s.
Is the article referencing the Squadron as being activated? Or is more over dramatized crap?
Now Texas Governor Abbott sends TANKS to the border after threatening to send gunboats - as Republican invokes invasion clause to deal with migrants flooding over border
Texas Governor Greg Abbott is deploying National Guard troops in M113 armored personnel carrier to various positions along the border
The news comes days after Abbott sent a letter to President Biden threatening to deploy gunboats and invoking a constitutional clause
Abbott invoked Article I Section 10 of the Constitution which forbids states from military action 'unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger'
Affectionately known as the 'battle taxi' by troops in the Army, the M113 is bulletproof and can withstand small explosions
The Texas Military Department said they ordered 10 of the vehicles and will train around 50 soldiers to operate them
Last month there were 230,678 recorded encounters between undocumented migrants and Border Patrol officers

Including a D-9 CAT.

That's a m113, Troop carrier, not a tank but, good enough.

So more overdramatizing. That’s what the media’s good at.
The media never gets the details right. Noise.
Good thing the governor did. Signal... and a relatively well-armed signal at that.
OK, all good, but can someone educate this idiot on what a tank actually is?
