Flash flooding can occur at lower levels of water than what happened in Kerrville.

There's nothing expected at this time to the magnitude of what was seen in Kerrville.

More expected storms will pose life-threatening danger over the next 24 to 48 hours.

Sunday will be a day of prayer for victims of the extreme weather event.

I have also requested federal disaster relief.

We will stop at nothing to ensure that every asset and person and plan, whatever is needed, is going to be involved in the process of rescuing every last person.

I am signing a disaster declaration to ensure counties have access to every tool, strategy, and personnel that the State of Texas can provide to them, which will be limitless.

The one thing I hear the most are the prayers that are being sent for those who are in harm’s way.

This is a time when we, as a state, need God more than ever.

We will not stop today or tomorrow, we will stop when it’s finish.

When Texas faces a challenge, we come together, we unite.

We will find every one of them.

We will be relentless in the ongoing search for missing people. We’re not going to stop today or tomorrow.

My instruction to every state agency involved in this is to assume everybody who is missing is alive.

We will be relentless and going after and ensuring that we locate every single person who’s been a victim of this flooding event.

We will continue to add counties as needed, as conditions either worsen or improve in counties across the state of Texas.

Texas will finally get reimbursed for the billions we spent on securing the border when the Biden-Harris admin refused.

Air rescue missions like this are being done around the clock. We will not stop until everyone is accounted for.

We won't stop until we find every girl who was in those cabins.

Today I visited Camp Mystic. It, and the river running beside it, were horrendously ravaged in ways unlike I've seen in any natural disaster.

We will stop at nothing to ensure that every asset and person and plane, whatever is needed, is going to be involved in the process of rescuing every last person and ensure everybody involved in this is going to be fully accounted for.

They will continue in the darkness of night, they will be taking place when the sun rises in the morning. They will be non-stop.

I signed a law authorizing Texans to use gold & silver as legal tender in day-to-day financial transactions. It fulfills the promise of Article 1, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution.

Consider the merits of adopting a red flag law.

The long-term solution here is to address the mental health issue.
