Urging the Department of Homeland Security to expedite the approval of all FEMA applications for flood mitigation projects in Texas.
This concurrent resolution (HCR 11) urges the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to expedite approval of FEMA flood mitigation funding applications in Texas. It specifically references two stalled projects - the Combes Lateral Drainage Improvement (submitted February 2024) and North Main Drainage Improvement (submitted April 2025) - which remain pending at DHS despite meeting federal requirements. The resolution does not change laws but formally requests faster federal processing to protect communities in flood-prone areas. It is a non-binding request directed to DHS and FEMA, not a legislative mandate.
