Governor Greg Abbott has ordered Texas flags to be lowered to half-staff across the state in memory of those who lost their lives in the recent floods over the July 4th holiday weekend. This gesture is a mark of respect for the victims of the devastating flooding.
“In heartfelt remembrance of those whose lives were tragically lost in the recent floods, I ordered Texas flags across the state to be lowered to half-staff,” said Governor Abbott. “Cecilia and I continue to pray for their loved ones as they grieve this unimaginable loss and urge all Texans to continue praying for all impacted by this devastation. Texas stands united in mourning and in our resolve to support those who strive to heal and recover. May God bring comfort to every family affected and strength to the thousands of first responders still working on the ground.”
The flags are scheduled to return to full-staff at sunrise on Monday, July 14, 2025.
Additionally, Governor Abbott declared a Day of Prayer across Texas on Sunday, urging prayers for those lost, missing individuals, community recovery efforts, and first responders.
