Texas lawmakers receive disturbing findings from investigators of the Hill Country flooding tragedy
Testimony included descriptions of cruel prank calls to parents who lost their daughters in the flood; Lt. Gov. Patrick has called for Camp Mystic to lose its license but conspicuously quiet about most of it is Gov. Abbott while some of his former appointees represent the camp
Camp
Mystic had no
evacuation plan, college-age counselors were untrained for emergencies, and
staff failed to take opportunities to evacuate during last year’s tragedy on
site. That’s according to a report presented to the Texas House
and Senate committees investigating the camp and other problems
that occurred in response to the July 2025 floods.
While the
historic Guadalupe River floods took the lives of an estimated 140 people
across Central Texas, the all-girls Christian summer camp, where 27 girls died and
founder Dick Eastland died, has come under intense scrutiny. The Texas
Rangers recently visited the site, and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has
called for its license not to be renewed.
Conspicuously
silent about most of this, though, has been Gov. Greg Abbott, whose former
appointees David Whitley and John Scott now represent the camp.

Investigating Senate Committee on July 2025 Flooding Events Chair Pete
Flores said plainly: “This tragedy could have been prevented.”
