The Raw Story web site proclaims:
Paranoid Texans grill Army spokesman on Jade Helm 15 exercise that’s sparking fears of military takeover
At least in their headline. In the text they become “concerned citizens.” They continue on expressing the believe that United Nations Agenda 21 is a “conspiracy theory” even though it is clearly documented (PDF) by the United Nations itself. Interestingly they even use an Alex Jones video of the event.

The concerns expressed by the Texans, however, seem to have reached the office of Texas Governor Greg Abbott who has ordered the Texas State Guard to monitor the Jade Helm operation. The statement from the office of the governor reads, in part:
Following discussions aimed at ensuring Texans are fully informed on Operation Jade Helm 15, Governor Greg Abbott today met with Major General Gerald “Jake” Betty, Commander of the Texas State Guard, and directed him to monitor the Operation.
It also provides a link to Governor Abbott’s full directive to General Betty.
The Texas State Guard is not to be confused with the Texas National Guard. The Texas State Guard is one of the true militias formed in compliance with 32 U.S.C. §109.
