The Texas State Guard Service Medal is a campaign/service award of the Texas Military Department that may be issued to a service member of the Texas Military Forces.[1] There is no provision for subsequent awards.[2]
Issuance of the Texas State Guard Service Medal requires authorization by the Texas State Guard Commanding General and presentation to the awardee by the next higher level of command.[2]
Although the Texas Military Department awards regulation states that the medal is in the shape of a maltese cross, the medal has always been manufactured using a cross pattée pattern. The same regulation specifies that the drape must be made of a yellow moiré ribbon with blue, white and red stripes that are 3/32 inch wide each, but in 2022 the Texas State Guard Headquarters began issuing medals that disregard these requirements as a cost-saving measure. Medals that meet the regulations must be obtained commercially. [2]
