Greg Abbott, sworn in as governor of Texas, didn't list his campaign promises in his inaugural address.

But we compiled nearly 100 of Abbott's promises for the Abbott-O-Meter. It's landing on our website alongside the just-debuted Adler-O-Meter (tracking action on campaign promises by Austin Mayor Steve Adler).

Abbott, who won a four-year term in November, has time to make progress. For starters, each promise is "Yet to be Rated."

Did we miss any Abbott promises?
