WELL ITS IN GOVERNORS PERRYS COURT TO DECLARE A STATE OF EMERGENCY IF HE FEELS THE NEED THAT THE TEXAS BOARDER NEEDS TO BE GUARDED.........SAME HOLDS TRUE FOR OTHER BORDERING STATES.. NATIONAL GUARD State service State duties include disaster relief, emergency preparedness, security assistance to state law enforcement agencies, and some aspects of border security. The Governor can activate the National Guard components under his control for state active duty in Texas, and in support of adjacent states. National Guard units can be mobilized at any time by presidential order to supplement regular armed forces, and upon declaration of a state of emergency by the governor of the state in which they serve. Unlike Army Reserve members, National Guard members cannot be mobilized individually (except through voluntary transfers and Temporary Duty assignments TDY), but only as part of their respective units. However, there has been a significant amount of individual activations to support military operations (2001-?); the legality of this policy is a major issue within the National Guard.[citation needed]
