AUSTIN, Texas – The aftermath of deadly flooding in Texas over the Fourth of July weekend has moved to the top of the agenda for a special legislative session that started this week.

At least 135 people, including more than 30 children, were killed when heavy rain led to flash flooding in the Texas Hill Country . At least three people are still missing.

Most of the deaths happened in Kerr County, where several camps along the banks of the Guadalupe River were inundated in the middle of the night. Among them was Camp Mystic, an all-girls Christian retreat in Hunt .
