“Lt Gov Dan Patrick and Speaker of the Texas House Dustin Burrows today announced the Senate and House General Investigating Committees on the July 2025 Flooding Events. Created by Senate Resolution 2 and House Resolution 177 from the second called special session of the 89th Legislature, these committees will meet jointly. Upon announcement, Lt Gov Patrick and Speaker Burrows named committee members and 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. Today, I appointed the members of the Senate General Investigating Committee on the July 2025 Flooding Events to get to the bottom of exactly what occurred. This committee’s task is to examine the facts and circumstances surrounding the July flooding, including actions taken at youth summer camps. The families who lost their precious daughters deserve answers, as do all Texans, on exactly what happened on July 4th. Camp Mystic has not spoken publicly on the record as to what happened that morning. They will be invited to testify, as will others involved in this flooding event,'” says a joint press release from Texas Lt Governor Dannie Goeb, aka Dan Patrick, and Speaker of the state House Dustin Burrows.
