The skydive was hailed as a success.
When the Governor landed, he described the jump as thrilling, amazing and peaceful.
He even made a joke about the experience.
"My biggest fear was realized, and that is, I would land, and I would not be able to walk away from the landing spot. It was absolutely fascinating," he said.
Blaschke has made headlines for skydives in the past, including when he did so for the first time for his 100th birthday in 2017.
It was Governor Abbott's first skydiving experience.
After the jump, Gov. Abbott was asked about the ongoing standoff over school vouchers in the Texas Legislature.
He would not comment on whether he planned to call another special session in an attempt to pass legislation on education savings accounts.
