Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said Monday that pro sports will be permitted to resume May 31, per Anna Tinsley of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram (on Twitter). This is contingent on no fans being present, however.
Texas follows Florida and Arizona in green-lighting sports to return. Texas obviously houses two NFL teams, but only the Texans hold training camp in the state. But with the Cowboys’ usual Oxnard, Calif., camp looking unlikely to be green-lit this year, Texas’ longest-tenured NFL franchise would have a better chance of holding camp in-state.
Some in the Cowboys organization view an Oxnard camp as a remote possibility, per Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News (on Twitter). Holding camp at their Frisco, Texas, facility would be Plan B. With several teams potentially looking for sites to hold training camp due to COVID-19 restrictions, Texas could serve as a landing spot for non-Texas-headquartered teams.
The NFL announced teams can have various staffers report to facilities beginning Tuesday, but coaches and non-injured players remain barred from facilities.
Let’s go!
Yeeeehawwwwww!

Texas could serve as a landing spot for non-Texas-headquartered teams.

Wish I was back in Texas,
The ocean’s no place for a squirrel.
Wish I was in Texas,
Prettiest place in the world, oh no.
I guess that deep in my heart,
I’ll always be a Texas Girl.
