Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows has announced that response to the Central Texas Floods will be added to the upcoming special session.

In a post to X, Burrows confirmed that the legislature will be working with Rice University's SSPEED center in order to address the the flood, and prevent something like it from happening again.

This comes as state, federal, and local officials all continue to work on search, rescue, and recovery operations in the Kerr County area, with Governor Abbott warning that heavy rain continues to be a threat.
