Officials don't expect widespread power outages, though Texans could still see local power outages if ice or falling tree branches knock out power lines.
Ahead of winter weather, Gov. Greg Abbott assured residents that the electrical grid, which failed on a massive scale in 2021, is ready.
The declaration is to make sure resources are available to communities that need them.
