The VFW Post 8552 of Del Rio, TX began taking donations on Monday for central Texas Hill Country flood relief efforts. Post 8552 was reportedly "overwhelmed" by the amount of items donated which includes over 8,000 bottles of water, clothes, diapers, and non-perishable food. The VFW plans to depart from Del Rio on Thursday morning (July 10th) and is taking donations until Wednesday evening.

On Juneteenth, State Representative for Del Rio, Eddie Morales, sent a letter to the office of Governor Greg Abbott that explains why Morales believes enacting the Senate Bill attempting to ban the selling of THC products in Texas, or SB3, would harm those living within his District 74 in Texas. District 74 spans from Eagle Pass to El Paso, covers 11 counties, and is home to 203,000 Texans as of 2020.
