Camp Mystic is a nondenominational Christian summer camp for girls in western Kerr County in the Texas Hill Country.
Devastating flooding along the Guadalupe River last summer killed nearly 30 people, many of them girls.
Camp Mystic said that “rather than risk defending our rights under Texas law in a manner that may unintentionally effect further harm, we choose rather to withdraw our application for the 2026 camp season.”

Police said officers were called around 5:22 p.m. Feb. 5, 2026 to an apartment complex at 10101 S. 1st Street after a resident reported multiple malnourished cats in a neighboring unit living in unsafe, unsanitary conditions.
According to APD, apartment management told officers the former tenant, Najm, had moved out in mid-January after turning in her keys. The lease expired Jan. 31, and management entered the unit to begin restoration work tied to prior flooding issues when the animals were discovered.
Inside, officers reported conditions consistent with a hoarding environment, including significant debris, standing water and widespread animal waste. #NayzakNajm #AustinTexas #AustinTexasCrime #AnimalRescue

- WACO, Texas (KWTX) - Ana Gonzalez stands in a south Waco yard where her life changed forever.
Less than a year ago, her father Felipe was mowing his lawn when a group of dogs attacked him. He survived, but just barely. He suffered severe brain bleeds and spent weeks in the ICU.
Today, Felipe Gonzalez lives in a wheelchair. His speech and independence are gone.
“He’s not at 100, not even 50% of what he was whenever he got attacked. He was doing everything normal as a normal person would do. And now we have to live a life where he’s have to use a handicapped vehicle, a wheelchair, a Hoyer lift to get him to places, a medical bed...everything has changed drastically,” Ana Gonzalez said.
