TEXAS HILL COUNTRY, JUL 20 – Governor Greg Abbott calls a special legislative session to address failures in emergency alerts after flash floods killed over 130 people and left 100 missing in Texas Hill Country.
- On July 4, in Kerr County the Guadalupe River surged 8 meters before dawn, sweeping away homes and claiming lives.
- In the Hill Country, parched soil and lack of a warning system worsened the flood’s impact, experts said, after alerts were delayed by hours.

- Only three people remained missing, down from nearly 100 at peak of the floods, as President Trump visited Kerr County and Gov. Abbott called a special session on Monday.
- Daniel Aldrich told the Sun to update flood maps and install river gauges, and Rep. Greg Murphy said, `It needs to happen this year,` while William Wagner stressed awareness campaigns.
