Governor Greg Abbott today sent a letter to President Donald Trump requesting a Presidential Disaster Declaration for Texas counties heavily impacted by recent severe weather and flooding that caused widespread damage across the state. Additional Texas counties may be added to the declaration as local, state, and federal agencies continue to assess damages.

“The magnitude of recent severe weather and flooding has taken a serious toll on Texans across the state,” said Governor Abbott. “With such widespread flooding and devastation, additional resources are needed to help Texans recover. This request will help provide assistance and emergency services for Texans impacted by this disaster, and I thank the President for his continued support.”

Governor Abbott has included the following counties in his request for a Presidential Disaster Declaration, which, if granted, would allow those affected to apply for Individual Assistance (IA), Other Needs Assistance (ONA), Crisis Counseling, Disaster Unemployment Assistance, Disaster Legal Assistance, and Disaster Case Management: Burnet, Ellis, Haskell, Liberty, Llano, Sutton, Tarrant and Travis counties.
