Abbott, Virdell present checks to flood victims

Governor Greg Abbott joined the Vaqueros del Mar Texas Flood Relief Fund on Aug. 23 to present checks to families affected by the catastrophic Hill Country floods.

This marked the second event Abbott has attended to distribute funds to homeowners whose primary residences were damaged or destroyed.

The money comes from last month’s “Strait to the Heart” benefit concert, hosted by George Strait and Estancia Estates founder Tom Cusick.
