Measles in Texas
The Texas Department of State Health Services has confirmed the first cases of measles in the state since 2023.
AUSTIN, Texas – The Texas Department of State Health Services has confirmed the first cases of measles in the state since 2023. Health officials say those two reported cases are in Houston.
There have not been any confirmed cases in Central Texas, but Austin Public Health is asking residents to be proactive.
What is measles?
The backstory:
Measles is a highly contagious and, in some cases, deadly disease. Symptoms develop 7–14 days after infection, according to health officials.
“You could experience a very high fever, cough or runny nose, things like that, watery red eyes. A few days later, you’ll start to get a rash, and so that rash will start to look like white spots on the inside of your cheeks and then a rash that usually starts on your face and spreads down your body,” says Chief State Epidemiologist Varun Shetty.
Chief state epidemiologist Varun Shetty says measles is an airborne disease.
“Measles spreads through coughs and sneezes. It can stay in a room for up to two hours. Someone could get measles just simply by being in the room where someone who is sick had it. If you are not protected with the vaccine,” says Shetty.Â
Why you should care:
This month, the Houston Health Department identified two cases of measles associated with international travel.
Health officials said to prevent the spread of the disease, getting vaccinated is recommended.
“Typically, the vaccine that you receive from your doctor is called the MMR vaccine. It stands for measles, mumps, and rubella. It’s a two-dose vaccine. Two doses of this vaccine are highly effective at protecting against measles. In fact, it prevents 97% of cases of measles,” says Shetty.
Shetty says if you are not vaccinated, and you are exposed to the disease, take the proper precautions to protect yourself and the public.
“The most important thing is to isolate yourself, stay away from other people so you can reduce the risk of spreading it to others. Then we would recommend you to call your doctor on the phone ahead of time and let them know that you’re concerned about that so that you can arrange a safe way to get evaluated and get tested and then follow those doctor’s instructions,” says Shetty.
Health officials say those most at risk are pregnant women, children and those with weak immune systems.

How many immigrants have been arrested? See which Texas cities had ICE raids this weekend
ICE raid in Newark nabs both illegal immigrants and US citizens
ICE rounded up illegal migrants and U.S. citizens in a raid in Newark, New Jersey, just days President Trump took office.
Within a week of Donald Trump’s second term as president, several raids were conducted by ICE agents throughout Texas as well as the rest of the U.S. Upon entering office last Monday, Trump delivered on a campaign promise and issued an executive order to “protect the American people against invasion.” His administration has said the aggressive deportation efforts would prioritize “violent offenders.”
The Drug Enforcement Agency, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives assisted with the Texas operations.
An ICE spokesperson confirmed the raids in North Texas in an emailed statement to Texas Public Radio:
“U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement along with our federal law enforcement partners began conducting enhanced targeted operations today in North Texas and the state of Oklahoma to enforce U.S. immigration law and preserve public safety and national security by keeping potentially dangerous criminal aliens out of our communities.“
How many undocumented immigrants have been arrested?
Beginning Thursday, Jan. 23, ICE has reported single-day U.S. statistics for the number of individuals arrested and charged with a crime as well as those detained.
- Jan. 23: 538 arrests, 373 detainers lodged
- Jan. 24: 593 arrests, 449 detainers lodged
- Jan. 25: 286 arrests, 421 detainers lodged
- Jan. 26: 956 arrests, 554 detainers lodged
Similar operations occurred in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey and New York, according to various news reports.
It is unclear how many of these arrests and detainments occurred in Texas. However, several cities across the Lone Star State saw these “enhanced targeted operations” on Sunday.
Where did the ICE raids happen in Texas?
Officials have yet to confirm how many undocumented immigrants were apprehended in Texas Sunday. However, local news outlets suggest the following areas have been subjected to the raids:
