Homeless Camping Ban Must Be Enforced, Abbott Demands

Texas counties and cities are being told they need to enforce the statewide public homeless camping ban.

Governor Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton sent a letter this week warning counties and cities they would be sued if they didn't clear camps.

Abbott and Paxton also said municipalities could lose state grants.

A new law banning public camps went into effect last week.
