AUSTIN (KXAN) — Despite warnings from the governor, the Texas National Guard was largely not a factor during Saturday’s “No Kings” protests. The seeming lack of presence was a welcome sight for at least one Austin state senator who attended the Capitol protest.

Abbott's announcement did not detail where the troops were sent, but some were seen at a protest Wednesday night in downtown San Antonio near the Alamo.

Gov. Greg Abbott has deployed the Texas National Guard in response to protests, but Corpus Christi police are not aware of any local deployments.
