Congressman Morgan Luttrell (R-TX) has submitted a letter to President Joe Biden, endorsing Governor Greg Abbott's appeal for a major disaster declaration for the State of Texas. The Congressman urged the President to extend critical Individual Assistance programs to Montgomery, Harris, Polk, San Jacinto, and Walker counties.

In his letter, Luttrell stated, "The recent catastrophic weather and severe flooding that began on April 26, 2024, has had a profound impact on communities located in Texas's Eighth Congressional District and beyond. Residents have suffered major damage as a result of the catastrophic flooding, particularly to their homes and businesses. More specifically, there has been more than $58 million in public infrastructure damage as reported by local jurisdictions."
