🚨 FRAUD ALERT: Official Texas Military Department Notice

BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT (BLUF): The Texas Military Department (TMD) and the Texas National Guard (TXNG) will NEVER solicit money or request donations from the public under any circumstances.

Scam Warning

We have received recent reports of bad actors impersonating Texas National Guard personnel or TMD officials to solicit donations or payments from the public. These scammers use deceptive tactics to appear legitimate, when in fact they are exploiting the support and goodwill of our communities.

Please be advised:

• No Solicitation: The TMD and TXNG are state/federal entities and do not seek, request, or accept financial contributions from individuals, nor do we authorize any third parties to solicit funds on our behalf.
• Fraudulent Activity: Any phone call, email, text message, or social media outreach requesting money, wire transfers, gift cards, or other forms of payment claiming to be from or for the Texas Military Department and Texas National Guard is a scam.

Action Required

If you are contacted by someone claiming to represent the TMD or TXNG and requesting money or donations:

1. Do Not Engage: Do not provide any payment, bank details, or personal information.
2. Cease Communication: Hang up the phone or ignore the message.
3. Report It: Immediately report the fraudulent attempt, along with any phone numbers or correspondence, to your local law enforcement agency.
