Texas Lt. Governor Opposes Camp Mystic Reopening License

Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick has expressed opposition to granting a license to reopen Camp Mystic, citing concerns over the facility’s safety and lack of compliance with evacuation plans.

The camp was flooded in July 2022, resulting in several deaths. Families affected by the disaster have filed lawsuits against the Texas agency responsible for licensing the camp, alleging that it failed to enforce evacuation plan requirements.

Patrick has urged the health department to deny Camp Mystic a license until an inquiry into the July 4 flood deaths is completed. The investigation aims to determine whether the camp’s safety measures were adequate and if the state’s regulations were followed during the disaster.

Camp Mystic was previously licensed by the Texas Department of State Health Services, but Patrick has expressed concerns over the facility’s ability to meet safety standards. The camp’s reopening would require compliance with state regulations and adherence to evacuation plans.

The families affected by the flood have filed lawsuits against the Texas agency, alleging that it failed to enforce evacuation plan requirements. The outcome of these lawsuits is pending.
