One year passes as anniversary of Texas Hill Country Flood disaster approaches

Nearly one year after the devastating July 4 flooding that claimed the lives of 25 campers and two counselors at Camp Mystic, the Texas Hill Country camp has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization. The filing comes as the camp faces mounting legal, financial, and regulatory pressure following the disaster along the Guadalupe River. Camp Mystic has been under increasing scrutiny since the July 4 flood, which also killed the camp’s owner, Richard Eastland.
