AUSTIN, Texas – Del hi native Major General Tracy R. Norris, the 52nd Adjutant General of Texas, retired after 36 years of service in a ceremony May 13 at Camp Mabry.

Maj. Gen. Norris commanded over 24,000 troops through numerous natural disasters, deployments, and state emergency responses all in support of her motto “Texans serving Texas.”

“Every time we turned around the Texas Guard was making history, doing things we hadn’t done; and I truly believe that there is no organization that could have done what we did,” said Norris.
