Camp Mystic flood victims sue Texas over evacuation plan enforcement issues

Families of nine victims from last summer’s flooding in Texas have filed a lawsuit against the state, claiming the Texas Department of State Health Services failed to enforce evacuation plan requirements at Camp Mystic, where 27 campers and counselors died. The suit argues that the lack of an evacuation plan led to delays in moving the girls to safety as floodwaters rose. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has urged the state to deny the camp a new operating license, citing concerns over safety and management.
