Three years into the border crisis, 50 Texas counties have now declared an invasion.
Officials in Bandera and Schleicher counties signed nearly identical resolutions in November as Crockett County's.
Crockett County declared an invasion after its county judge's family members were killed by an alleged human smuggler.
Uvalde County officials signed their invasion resolution in July, when they also joined a coalition led by Atascosa County Judge Weston Cude.
Some of these counties are among 58 that issued disaster declarations, following Kinney County, after it first issued a disaster declaration on April 21, 2021.
The governor has renewed the state disaster declaration every 30 days, enabling counties "To combat the ongoing influx of unlawful immigrants and authorizes the use of all necessary and available state and local resources to protect landowners in these counties from trespassers and the damage caused to private property," according to the declaration.
Nearly 40% of Texas' 254 counties have issued either disaster or invasion declarations, or both, citing the border crisis.
