Texas lawmakers launch new investigation into July flood disaster
Legislative committees will investigate causes and preparedness failures after July 2025 floods killed over 130 people including 27 children at Camp Mystic, lawmakers said.
- A new joint committee has been launched to investigate the deadly flooding that swept through the Texas Hill Country in July.

Menendez said, "Primarily the most important thing is that as families consider sending their children back to these camps next summer, we as policymakers need to make sure that we send a very clear message to each and every camp that there has to be a basic minimum standard for safety, that there are no exceptions.
