Reporters been following survivors as they rebuild their lives in the aftermath of one of the deadliest floods in state history.

The Texas Board of Nursing reversed the emergency suspension of Mary Elizabeth Eastland’s license, but allegations tied to last summer’s deadly Camp Mystic flood remain unresolved.

State regulators say Camp Mystic’s chief health officer abandoned campers and staff as deadly floodwaters rose.

The $4 million system could provide up to several hours of advance warning, giving residents more time to evacuate before floodwaters become dangerous.

The officers used the cables as makeshift rope to save the woman and her three children Saturday night from a car halfway in rushing flood waters.

Twenty-eight people died at the Christian girls' camp during last July's deadly flooding.

The two-day hearing marks the first public session for the joint state House and Senate flood investigating committees. Members previously visited Camp Mystic, where 27 girls and the director died.

The family of 8-year-old Cile Steward, whose body has not been found, said they are worried that evidence could be destroyed if Camp Mystic were to reopen this summer.

The medical officer for the Texas summer camp where 27 girls were killed in a flood last year has testified that she still has not officially reported the deaths to the state health agency that regulates camps.

The director of the Texas summer camp where 27 campers and counselors were killed by a devastating flood in 2025 said he did not see early federal and state warnings sent the day before the storm hit and that staff had no meetings about the pending danger.

The lawsuit, the fifth against the camp, alleges that failures by camp leadership led to the death of 8-year-old Cecilia Steward, who remains missing more than seven months after the flood.

The wave of legal challenges is in response to the Trump administration’s intensified immigration enforcement and its new policy expanding mandatory detention for undocumented immigrants.
