Rep. Roy Honors the Lives Lost One Year After the Devastating Central Texas Floods

Washington, D.C. - Today, Congressman Chip Roy (TX-21) released the following statement marking one year since the devastating July 4, 2025 floods that claimed more than 100 lives in Kerr and Kendall Counties and forever changed the Texas Hill Country.

"One year ago, the people of the Texas Hill Country endured unimaginable loss as catastrophic flooding swept through our communities before dawn on Independence Day. We remember the children, parents, neighbors, and friends whose lives were taken far too soon, and we continue to pray for every family carrying that loss today.

"In the face of overwhelming tragedy, we also witnessed the very best of Texas and America. First responders, volunteers, churches, charities, and neighbors answered the call with extraordinary courage and compassion. Their selfless service reminded us that the strength of our communities comes from people helping people.

"While the scars of the flood remain, so does the resilience of the Hill Country. As we honor those we lost, may we continue to pray for every affected family and ask God to bless the Texas Hill Country with strength, healing, and peace," said Rep. Roy.

This week, Rep. Roy also commemorated the anniversary on the House floor, honoring the lives lost and recognizing the courage and resilience of the communities that continue to rebuild. You can watch those remarks here.
