Happy Father’s Day! I hope all the dads and father figures across West Texas are feeling a little extra love today, especially my dad, John Landgraf. He’s taught me so much about working hard, living with integrity and resilience, and growing in our faith. Dad’s done this all throughout the decades, even when neither of us had much grey hair! 😆

And for everyone who is missing someone special in their lives today, my heart goes out to you.

Two confirmed cases of New World Screwworm have been reported in two different calves, both in Zavala County near the Texas-Mexico border.

First, Texans should know what this, and what it is not. New World Screwworm (NWS) is an animal health issue, not a food safety issue. It does not infest meat, fruits or vegetables. Federal officials and state experts have made clear that our food supply remains safe. Beef and other food products remain safe for consumers.

Nevertheless, it’s important to protect livestock and other animals. That’s why action has been taken to establish a quarantine zone, restrict animal movement in Zavala County and continue deploying sterile flies in strategic areas.

This is the same proven screwworm eradication strategy that successfully eliminated this pest from the United States decades ago.

Ranchers and livestock owners can help by checking animals regularly for wounds (like I’m doing with my own cattle in West Texas), treating injuries promptly, reducing fly exposure, and immediately reporting any suspected infestations. Early detection is critical to combating the NWS.

Pet owners should also remain vigilant. Dogs, cats, and other animals with untreated wounds can be vulnerable. Keeping wounds clean, treating them promptly, and monitoring animals closely can help protect both pets and livestock.

If you suspect a case of New World Screwworm, contact the Texas Animal Health Commission’s 24/7 Veterinary Line at (800) 550-8242.

Texas has faced this challenge before. With vigilance, early reporting, and a coordinated response, we can contain this outbreak and protect our livestock, pets, and the Texas economy.

I appreciate the work being done by fellow ranchers, veterinarians, the Texas Animal Health Commission, USDA, the Texas Division of Emergency Management, Texas A&M AgriLife, and other officials who are working around the clock to keep this pest from gaining a foothold in Texas.

I also want to thank Governor Abbott and Speaker Burrows for directing state resources toward this response and helping ensure Texas remains prepared to meet this challenge head-on.

Odessa hosted this year’s Lions Clubs of Texas state convention. Today, I was honored to speak at the Lions’ Opportunities for Youth Banquet at the Odessa Marriott Hotel and Conference Center.

I prepared well for my speech, but on my opinion, I was clearly outshined by the three youth award winners from all across Texas, who wrote and delivered very impressive remarks!

The Lions Club has long embodied a principle that resonates deeply here in West Texas: service to others. For generations, Lions have stepped up wherever there has been a need—whether through vision care, youth programs, disaster relief, health initiatives, or simply lending a helping hand to a neighbor. That kind of servant leadership may not always make headlines, but it’s the foundation of strong communities.

Thank you, Teresa Burnett, for allowing me to be part of today’s wonderful event.

Damian Garza of Odessa gave his life so that you and I can live free. 🕊️ 🇺🇸

On Memorial Day, we commemorate all the soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our country. But to make sure we don’t forget that these men and women were also friends, neighbors and family members, it’s important to highlight one West Texan each Memorial Day.

Private First Class Damian J. Garza served honorably in the United States Army, and fought in Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom.

Damian was born on December 31, 1985 to Jaime and Denise Garza. His friends and family say that Damian had a contagious sense of humor, and that growing up, he was always laughing and smiling. His mother recalled his kindness to others, remembering that he was the kind of kid who’d spend his own lunch money to buy food for a homeless man.

But Damian’s dad said that Damian wanted to serve in the military at an early age, recalling that Damian “wanted to be the best of the best.” The day after he graduated high school in Odessa in 2004, he enlisted in the Army, and said that his country needed him.

Garza was assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment at Fort Benning, Georgia, and was deployed to Afghanistan to fight terrorism in November 2004, and again in July 2005. On August 4, 2005, PFC Garza was killed while in a Humvee convoy with his fellow Army Rangers near Jalalabad, Afghanistan. Damian was 19 years old.

Garza was a decorated Army Ranger, and after was also awarded the Army Commendation Medal, the Army Good Conduct Medal and the Afghanistan Campaign Medal.

Damian Garza was laid to rest at Sunset Memorial Gardens in Odessa, and it was a privilege for my family and me to visit his gravesite yesterday to pay our respects to him and his brothers and sisters in arms.

Damian Garza’s heroic story is just one of hundreds of thousands, and they are all worth telling our children. God bless the souls of all we commemorate today. May you and your family have a meaningful Memorial Day.
