Overview
- Following Monday's testimony in a three-day hearing, a Travis County judge kept an injunction that bars any alteration or removal of flood-damaged cabins and land.
- Camp director Edward Eastland testified that he slept through CodeRED alerts and did not order evacuations until about 3 a.m., acknowledging that earlier action could have saved lives.
- Staff accounts described no loudspeaker warnings and no evacuation training for workers or campers, and the security officer said he moved girls without orders and believed an early evacuation would have saved lives.
- Camp Mystic's owners plan to reopen next month on higher ground at the Cypress Lake campus with nearly 900 girls enrolled, a move that still requires a state health license.
- Scrutiny is widening as Texas health officials and the Texas Rangers investigate neglect claims, a Texas House committee plans a site visit next week, and families pursue lawsuits to preserve evidence and block reopening.
