AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A review by Texas lawmakers into the catastrophic July 4 floods has no intention of second-guessing decisions by local officials or assigning blame over the tragedy that killed at least 136 people, a top Republican leading the effort said Wednesday.

Gov. Greg Abbott said responding to the devastating July 4 floods is his top priority for a special legislative session that began Monday, including providing relief to victims and improving early warning systems.

Voting on new congressional maps before any response to the Hill Country floods could create a political liability for Republicans, who control all levels of Texas government. Texas is still reeling from the disaster, which is one of the worst in the state’s modern history, and few Texans have voiced concerns about the state’s political maps.
