The governor's consent is only required for activating NG troops under Title 32 orders. The Federal government is capable of activating the NG under Title 10 orders without consulting the governor. Most of the funding for the NG comes from the federal government and in many cases the federal government actually owns the equipment used by the NG.JP171 wrote:
ok so you misunderstand the concept of the national guard, the uniform may have US Army on it however the National guard is actually 1 of 3 TEXAS military forces under the direct control of the Adjutant General of the State Of Texas. The Texas National Guard can be federalized by request of the US Army, Governor Perry does NOT have to allow that to happen. The NG is and always will be under Texas Authority, Texas pays for the NG and can make the decisions concerning the deployment of the NG and that includes the Air Guard as well
