Proclamation 41-3813TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME:
WHEREAS, I, GREG ABBOTT, Governor of the State of Texas, is-
sued a disaster proclamation on February 12, 2021, certifying under
Section 418.014 of the Texas Government Code that the severe winter
weather poses an imminent threat of widespread and severe property
damage, injury, and loss of life due to prolonged freezing temperatures,
heavy snow, and freezing rain statewide; and
WHEREAS, on March 14, 2021, I issued a proclamation renewing the
disaster declaration for all Texas counties; and
WHEREAS, due to the widespread and severe damage caused by the
severe winter weather, a state of disaster continues to exist in all coun-
ties;
NOW, THEREFORE, in accordance with the authority vested in me by
Section 418.014 of the Texas Government Code, I do hereby renew the
disaster proclamation for all 254 counties in Texas.
Pursuant to Section 418.017 of the code, I authorize the use of all avail-
able resources of state government and of political subdivisions that are
reasonably necessary to cope with this disaster.
Pursuant to Section 418.016 of the code, any regulatory statute pre-
scribing the procedures for conduct of state business or any order or
rule of a state agency that would in any way prevent, hinder, or delay
necessary action in coping with this disaster shall be suspended upon
written approval of the Office of the Governor. However, to the ex-
tent that the enforcement of any state statute or administrative rule re-
garding contracting or procurement would impede any state agency's
emergency response that is necessary to protect life or property threat-
ened by this declared disaster, I hereby authorize the suspension of such
statutes and rules for the duration of this declared disaster.
In accordance with the statutory requirements, copies of this proclama-
tion shall be filed with the applicable authorities.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto signed my name and
have officially caused the Seal of State to be affixed at my office in the
City of Austin, Texas, this the 13th day of April, 2021.
