TEXAS, January 5 - January 5, 2026 | Austin, Texas | Press Release
Governor Greg Abbott today sent a letter directing Texas state agencies to launch investigations into any potential child care funding fraud taking place in Texas.

Today, I directed Texas state agencies to take proactive steps to prevent, detect, and eliminate misuse of taxpayer funds to protect the integrity of Texas’ Child Care Services Program."
