Each state has a National Guard unit, but it’s still part of the US Army. That’s what it’s called a National Guard.
So you’re not aware that while National Guard can be called for active service they are actually under the control of the governor?
Of course, but they aren’t a Texas army. The President can just decide to move them out or use them as needed.
The US government is paying those soldiers.
