The president and first lady visited Kerrville to meet local officials and families of the victims of the recent flooding. Trump promised federal support, but his team emphasized the state's role.

In an effort to help Texas flooding victims, the organization is accepting donations for its Kerr County Flood Relief Fund, which its website says will “support nonprofit organizations, first responder agencies, and local governments actively involved in response, relief, and recovery efforts.”

Gov. Greg Abbott also directed lawmakers to tighten regulations on THC products, eliminate Texas’ high-stakes STAAR test and rein in local property tax increases during the legislative overtime, which begins July 21.

President Donald Trump met with victims' families and surveyed the damage of catastrophic floods that struck the state one week ago.

Texas officials refused to answer many serious questions about how prepared they were for the deadly flooding that struck the area on July 4th.

Kerrville Police Community Services Officer Jonathan Lamb gave a timeline of the deadly floods impacting the region in Texas and the response and evacuation efforts first responders took to save as many people as they could.

"It’s hard to believe the devastation," Trump said. "Trees that are 100 years old just ripped out of the ground. I've never seen anything like this, and I've seen a lot of bad ones."

The department shared on Facebook that Captain Tony Fernandez has died, calling him a "brother whose absence leaves a hole that can never be filled. He was with Ingram VFD for 15 years, the post says. It's unclear if Fernandez died as a result of the floods that overwhelmed Kerr County the morning of July Fourth.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Tuesday said investigative committees in the House and Senate will look at the response to deadly flooding in Central Texas, but cautioned not to place blame on any singular source.
