Texas special session called to address flood warning failures and emergency response after Hill Country flooding caused more than 100 deaths.

The governor was quick to request federal assistance last week after devastating floods hit the Texas Hill Country.

Four days have passed since anyone was found alive in the aftermath of the floods in Kerr County, Texas, officials said Tuesday.

S an Antonio anchor Stephania Jimenez fumed Saturday over a press conference that featured Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott thanking each other and President Donald Trump instead of giving immediate updates on the lethal floods in central Texas.

The claim spread widely on social media after the floods that devastated the Lone Star State in early July 2025.

Flags are half-staff across Texas today, as Gov. Greg Abbott ordered them lowered to honor the victims of the deadly Texas floods.

After his comments, many shared their criticism of Abbott on social media. Make Mindful Decisions posted on X, "That's absolutely tone-deaf. When lives are lost, the first question should be accountability—not cheesy sports metaphors. Abbott's locker room act is exactly what people don't need right now."

Gov. Abbott declared July 6 as a Day of Prayer in Texas to reflect on and recover from recent floods, gathering Texans in spiritual solidarity, although some debate the balance of practical support versus prayer.
