“Our hearts are heavy for the people of Texas as they face unimaginable tragedy and loss in the aftermath of the catastrophic Hill Country floods,” said Speaker Jon Burns. “Over 130 families are mourning the loss of loved ones, and countless others are experiencing devastation of their homes, property and livelihoods.
