House Concurrent Resolution No. 2 commemorates the tragic events of July 4, 2025, when catastrophic floods in the Texas Hill Country resulted in the loss of over 135 lives, with more than 100 fatalities occurring in Kerr County alone. The floods were caused by multiple weather systems that led to intense rainfall and the rapid overflow of the Guadalupe River, leaving residents with little time to evacuate. The resolution highlights the devastating impact of the disaster, which disproportionately affected children and families, and acknowledges the heroic efforts of rescuers and volunteers who worked tirelessly in the aftermath to search for the missing and provide support to those affected.

In light of this profound tragedy, the resolution expresses the condolences of the Texas Legislature to the families, friends, and communities mourning the loss of their loved ones. It emphasizes the importance of honoring each life lost during the floods, recognizing that each represents a unique story and an immeasurable void in the lives of those left behind. The resolution was unanimously adopted by both the House and Senate, reflecting a collective commitment to remember the victims and support the grieving families during this difficult time.
