Following July flooding, the state of Texas has taken steps to support affected residents. The deadline for SNAP replacement benefits has been extended to August 12, 2026. This extension is intended to help individuals who experienced losses due to the flooding.

The USDA has added Sutton and Zavala counties to the list of eligible areas, which now includes a total of 11 counties. Residents in these areas who are eligible for SNAP replacement benefits can expect to receive funds on their Lone Star Cards within two business days. Further details about the SNAP replacement benefits and the extension are available from the relevant authorities, including the Texas HHSC and Governor Abbott's office.
