On March 7, 2026, Abbott commented on an unnamed individual’s suitability for Texas, stating: “He’s just not right for Texas! https://t.co/ON3t9T3ebN”.
The following day, March 8, 2026, Abbott highlighted legislative action against foreign land ownership and referenced new federal resources: “I signed the toughest law in America banning foreign adversaries from buying Texas land or property.

On March 9, 2026, Abbott addressed James Talarico directly regarding gender-affirming care policies: “James Talarico needs to learn the definition of ‘humanity’.
