AUSTIN – Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has directed that American flags on state property be flown at full-staff to mark President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration next week, bypassing the national mourning period for former President Jimmy Carter.

The order comes after President Joe Biden previously ordered that all U.S. flags be flown at half-staff for 30 days to honor former President Jimmy Carter.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has ordered that the flags lowered to half-staff for the late President Jimmy Carter be raised for Donald Trump's inauguration.
