At a press conference on Tuesday, Abbott said at least 109 people died in the disaster, including 94 in the Kerrville region.
Texas is not alone. New Mexico also sees a flash emergency with a warning of the National Weather Service (NWS) warning on Tuesday night.
Crazy search and rescue efforts in Texas continue and Abbott’s emergency teams “every missing person will not stop until accounting”.
Abbott, in the coming days, the list will be more missing and people who think that they are not calculated to inform everyone they call to report, he added.
General Thomas Suelzer of the Texas National Guard, said that search efforts contain recovery cranes of Chinook and Black Hawk helicopters.
He said there were 13 Black Hawk helicopters, which helped search efforts, including the four from Arkansas. Authorities, the authorities also used Reaper Drone, he added.
In New Mexico, NWS declared an emergency on Tuesday, and New Mexico told Ruidoso residents to be high -alert for floods.
It is reported that the authorities and houses that are already working to save people trapped in flood waters have been washed.
NWS in Albuquerque reached a flood wave in Rio Ruidoso, 4.5 meters (4.5 meters).

In Texas, those who intervene from various agencies are working together on their efforts to rescue Border Patrol, FBI and national guards.
To help search and rescue only more than 250 people from various agencies were appointed to the Kerrville region.
Questions were brought to the agenda about whether the authorities provided sufficient flood warnings before the disaster and why people have not been released before.
Experts, Texas excessive air, the location of holiday homes and timing, including a series of tragedies, he says.
The governor, who spent some part of the day by examining the flood region, said that the authorities gave a storm warning and knew a possible flash flood, but “did not know the size of the storm.”
Nobody knew that it would lead to a “30 -meter high tsunami water wall”.
The governor answered a question about who “blame” the tremendous death fee and said: “This is the choice of words of the losers.”
He made a sports analogy by saying that American football teams made mistakes; Champion teams are “Fingers that do not point to fingers”.
Most of the victims died in Kerr County, where the official holiday in the fourth July of the Guadalupe River swollen by severe torrential rains before Daybreak on Friday.
Camp Mystic confirmed that at least 27 girls and staff were among the dead.
