Mary Liz Eastland, Co-Director of the Guadalupe campus and Edward's wife said, "I think we're willing to take a step back if camp can go on. That's ok with us. We are willing to step back and take a pause."

I have been calling on @TexasDSHS to not renew the camp license for the operators of Camp Mystic for this season until all investigations are complete later this year. Today, House and Senate investigators, after interviewing nearly 140 witnesses, laid out the specific timeline of July 3 and July 4, 2025. Anyone who has not heard the testimony needs to see the video below. It’s factual, riveting, and heartbreaking.

No one wants to close Camp Mystic forever. Once you see and hear the evidence, I think you will clearly understand why I, along with the Heaven’s 27 families who lost their children, have called on DSHS to not renew Camp Mystic’s operators’ license until all investigations are complete later this year and Camp Mystic and its operators are determined to be fit to protect and care for children in their custody.

Tune in tomorrow for the second day of the Senate General Investigating Committee on the July 2025 Flooding Events hearing. #txlege

Texas mourns with the families and loved ones of those who were horrifically killed in last night’s attack in Austin.

Cecilia and I pray for them, and we pray for the swift recovery of those who were injured. 

I have been in contact with Mayor Watson and DPS Director Martin and have offered the full support of the State of Texas to ensure all assistance and resources are deployed.

[Office of the Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick @LtGovTX]

I sent the following letter to @TexasDSHS urging them not to issue a 2026 camping license to Camp Mystic.
