Texas Senate and House General Investigating Committees will meet jointly on the July 2025 Flooding Events.

Dan Patrick and Speaker of the Texas House Dustin Burrows made the announcement on Monday. Committee members have been named. Senator Pete Flores is one of them. Patrick and Burrows issued the following statements:

“In July, Texans were deeply saddened by the deadly flooding on the Guadalupe River, where amongst many others, 27 vibrant young girls were lost from one camp, Camp Mystic,” said Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick. “I was shocked to see Camp Mystic begin signing up campers for next year with so many questions unanswered about what happened that fateful morning. The committee’s task is to examine the facts and circumstances surrounding the July flooding, including actions taken at youth summer camps. Camp Mystic will be among the camps called in to testify.
