Nearly a week after deadly floods struck Central Texas, search and rescue teams are continuing to probe debris for those still missing.

Gov. Greg Abbott is facing fierce criticism after dismissing questions about state and local officials' response to the deadly Texas Hill Country flooding, calling efforts to assign blame "the word choice of losers" and likening the ongoing disaster to a football game.

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

Gov. Abbott has added new items to the Legislature's special session agenda stemming from recent flooding events. Here's what to know.

As search efforts entered their fifth day in the devastating Central Texas floods, Gov. Greg Abbott vowed to find "every single missing person," stressing that the mission will not end until all victims are accounted for amid a death toll that has surpassed 100.

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

Texas Governor Greg Abbott stopped his press conference to comfort victims of flooding in Kerr County, Texas yesterday.

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."
