Texas Governor Greg Abbott on 5 July issued a formal proclamation designating Sunday, 6 July, as a statewide Day of Prayer in response to catastrophic flooding that swept through Central Texas and the Hill Country over the Independence Day weekend.

Abbott said Texans are "known for their faith, strength and resilience" and urged residents to pray for those who died, remain missing or are working on rescue and recovery efforts. The proclamation calls on individuals, houses of worship and communities to pause for reflection and seek "comfort, healing and strength" for affected families.
