Camp Mystic is under criminal investigation for potential manslaughter or negligent homicide related to the deaths of 27 girls during severe flooding in Texas last year. Court documents indicate that investigators are seeking electronic communications from the camp's owners as part of the inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the tragedy.

The Texas Rangers have raised concerns about the camp's emergency preparedness, citing inadequate plans and insufficient adult supervision during the flood. The investigation follows a devastating incident where 25 campers and two counselors lost their lives as the Guadalupe River overflowed on July 4, 2025.
