Gov. Greg Abbott declared a disaster in Medina County during a news conference and said the blaze that's forced 40 households to evacuate was only 10% contained. "You can rebuild property," Abbott said. "If you lose a life, you can't rebuild anything. These are challenging times across the State of Texas with regards to different kinds of disasters."
