Governor Abbott Expands Life-Saving NARCAN To All Texas Law Enforcement

Press Release

Date: Sept. 6, 2023
Location: Austin, TX
Issues: Drugs

"Texas continues to lead the fight against the growing national fentanyl crisis, as President Biden's reckless open border policies allow historic levels of fentanyl to flood across our border and into communities across the country. Fentanyl remains the single deadliest drug threat Texas and our nation have ever seen, with five Texans losing their lives every day. In April, we launched this program to distribute NARCAN to every county in Texas to combat this crisis. With this next allotment of NARCAN, Texas can help ensure that every Texas community--including our schools--has this live-saving medication to save innocent lives from the devastation of fentanyl poisonings."
