Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is directing state lawmakers to redraw the state’s congressional map at a special legislative session later this month.

Texas special session called to address flood warning failures and emergency response after Hill Country flooding caused more than 100 deaths.

In the Austin area, 12 people are still missing and 16 are known to have perished after rain swept away homes along rivers and creeks.

As search efforts entered their fifth day in the devastating Central Texas floods, Gov. Greg Abbott vowed to find "every single missing person," stressing that the mission will not end until all victims are accounted for amid a death toll that has surpassed 100.

The governor’s rambling response at a press conference is a disturbing warning for anyone who loves a Texan, or the game of football.

Flags are half-staff across Texas today, as Gov. Greg Abbott ordered them lowered to honor the victims of the deadly Texas floods.

Greg Abbott is under fire after comparing those asking about blame for the deadly flood in Kerr County to a losing football team. His football team analogy was made after reporters had been asking about accountability for the catastrophic floods in the Texas Hill Country that killed over 100 people and have over 160 individuals still missing.

Texas leaders across political lines urge prayer for flood victims as the state, ranked third most religious in the U.S., copes with devastating floods that have claimed at least 80 lives.
