Texas Public Radio reported three weeks later:

At least 135 people have died following catastrophic July 4 floods in the Hill Country and Central Texas — including at least 71 adults and 37 children from the Guadalupe River floods. The number of people still missing in Kerr County has dropped to two. Live Updates: Number of missing in Kerr County drops to 2, at least 135 died in Texas floods | TPR
