Governor Greg Abbott declared a statewide disaster across all 254 Texas counties in response to soaring diesel prices and fuel shortages. Diesel prices have reached an average of $5.86 per gallon, with a record high of $5.97 in September 2026. The declaration temporarily expands the use of dyed diesel on roads and raises weight limits for fuel, agriculture, and timber loads. Abbott has also requested a temporary waiver from the EPA regarding federal ultra-low sulfur diesel requirements.
