Texas Military Department Contradicts Abbott; Admits Ongoing Pay Issues

A day after Texas Scorecard reported ongoing pay issues related to Operation Lone Star (OLS), the Texas Military Department (TMD) admitted, “there are still numerous pay issues.”

This contradicts what Gov. Greg Abbott claimed days earlier when he said “all paycheck issues have been addressed.”

Last month, Texas Scorecard reported internal communications at the Texas Comptroller’s Office confirmed Texas Soldiers assigned to OLS were not being paid on time.

TMD told us that, as of January 7, all soldiers were getting paychecks with pay stubs, and on January 11, Gov. Abbott claimed “all paycheck issues have been addressed.”
