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.
“No one here is going to leave empty-handed to begin the process of rebuilding,” Abbott said. “All of us are working together to ensure that we are building homes and rebuilding businesses at record pace. Our goal is to help you rebuild your lives as quickly as possible.”
Abbott was joined at the presentation by Texas Division of Emergency Management Chief Nim Kidd and State Representative Wes Virdell.
