HB 4914 reorganizes the Texas State Guard (TSG), granting it greater autonomy from the Texas Military Department and redefining its command structure. It establishes a new position, the Director of the Texas State Guard, who will oversee operations and report directly to the governor. The bill also restructures training, activation protocols, and unit responsibilities, creating specialized units focused on crisis response, border security, and cybersecurity. Additionally, it enhances funding mechanisms for the Texas State Guard, allowing it to accept donations and shared-use agreements with private and public entities​.
