Overview
- The evidentiary hearing in Austin, which began Monday, centers on whether to keep a court order that bars changes to flood‑damaged areas at the Guadalupe River site.
- Camp director Edward Eastland testified he did not see National Weather Service and state emergency posts on July 2 and 3 and said he slept through a 1 a.m. CodeRED flood alert.
- Attorneys pressed Eastland on planning and training gaps, noting he could not produce a written evacuation plan and that many counselors lacked radios or phones to reach leaders.
- Plaintiffs showed photos of cleaned or remodeled cabins and a bridge that removed high‑water marks, arguing the work erased physical clues needed to reconstruct the flood.
- Camp Mystic is seeking a state license to operate its higher‑ground Cypress Lake campus this summer with roughly 800 to 900 registrants as health regulators review hundreds of complaints and the Texas Rangers assist a criminal probe.
