AUSTIN – Nearly three weeks after catastrophic flooding swept through the Texas Hill Country on the Fourth of July, only two people remain missing, Gov. Greg Abbott announced Tuesday in a social media post.

The update follows the recovery of a missing woman’s body in the Kerrville area earlier that day. According to Abbott, the remaining missing include one young girl who was attending Camp Mystic in Hunt, a popular summer retreat along the Guadalupe River that was overwhelmed by floodwaters, and one unidentified adult man.

The grim update comes after Kerrville officials announced Saturday that the list of missing people had dropped dramatically, from about 100 to just three.

At a special meeting of the Kerr County Commissioners Court on Monday, Judge Rob Kelly said most of the names removed from the missing persons list were tourists who had returned home without notifying anyone of their whereabouts.

“Most of them were tourists that came into town and left and went back home and didn’t report that they were there,” Kelly said, describing the effort to account for everyone as a “Herculean effort.”

Camp Mystic was among the hardest-hit areas in the flood. Officials said 27 lives were lost at the camp, including campers, counselors, and its executive director. Families across Texas are mourning the young girls who perished during what should have been a joyful summer tradition.

As the search narrows, attention is shifting to recovery. Officials are urging affected residents to apply for FEMA disaster assistance, and local leaders in Kerrville are considering a property tax increase to help fund the rebuilding of damaged infrastructure.

Meanwhile, in Austin, state lawmakers have gathered for a special session focused on flood preparedness. Among the priorities are flood warning systems, emergency communications, and funding for disaster relief. Notably, Kerr County lacked flood sirens on the morning of the tragedy, unlike neighboring counties, a point that has become a rallying cry for change.

The governor reaffirmed the state’s commitment to recovery, ending his statement with, “our search continues.”
