On October 7, 2026, Governor Greg Abbott has directed that the United States and Texas flags be flown at half-staff at all state buildings. This action is taken in solidarity with Israel and to honor the victims of the October 7 terrorist attacks by Hamas, which resulted in the deaths of over 1,200 individuals. Abbott emphasized Texas's support for Israel and the Jewish community, stating that the state will always remember those who lost their lives in the attacks. Flags will be raised back to full-staff at sunset on the same day, and others are encouraged to follow suit.
