Kerr County Rebuilds Hit Again as Texas Flood Rules Lag
TL;DR Summary
Two Kerr County homes that rebuilt after the 2025 floods were flooded again in 2026. ProPublica and The Texas Tribune report that Texas lawmakers have repeatedly failed to tighten statewide flood protections, leaving flood-prone homes and RV parks at risk and allowing repairs that don’t require upgraded codes. As residents face ongoing damage, one death in the latest flood underscores the ongoing danger and the tough choice between staying or relocating while the state lags behind others in flood-resilience rules.
