Texas Rangers Investigate Camp Mystic Flood Neglect

0:00It's April 8th. Welcome to El Paso News today, powered by AI. Texas Rangers are teaming up with the Department of State Health Services to probe Camp Mystic and Kirk County over complaints of neglect during the... Devastating July 4th, 2025 floods. The camp sits along the Guadalupe River, where tragedy struck hard. DSHS fired off a letter to the camp's owners, the Eastland family, noting hundreds of complaints about camper care all through the 2025. Season, Camp Mystic just applied to renew its license, and DSHS plans to hit the site for an on-site inspection right alongside the renewal check, talking to staff and directors. A local judge stepped in recently, blocking any renovations, builds, or tear downs at the Riverside spot to preserve potential evidence for court. Camp Mystic insists they've cooperated fully with all probes so far. Meanwhile, the Rangers' search and recovery for remaining flood victims keeps rolling in Kirk County, with the camp lending a hand there too.
