Governor Greg Abbott has ordered all flags across Texas to be flown at half-staff until sunrise on July 14th, in solemn remembrance of fellow Texans who recently lost their lives. The directive applies to state and federal buildings, and the Governor has encouraged all individuals, businesses, and local governments that display the Texas or United States flags to participate in the tribute.

“In heartfelt remembrance of those whose lives were tragically lost in the recent floods, I ordered Texas flags across the state to be lowered to half-staff,” said Governor Abbott. “Cecilia and I continue to pray for their loved ones as they grieve this unimaginable loss and urge all Texans to continue praying for all impacted by this devastation. Texas stands united in mourning and in our resolve to support those who strive to heal and recover. May God bring comfort to every family affected and strength to the thousands of first responders still working on the ground.”

Communities across Texas are responding to the call, with flags lowered outside city halls, schools, and homes. Local officials in Cuero and surrounding DeWitt County have echoed the message, inviting residents to take a moment of reflection as symbols of mourning ripple across neighborhoods.

Texans are encouraged to resume full-staff flag display at sunrise on July 14th, unless another proclamation advises otherwise.
