Gov. Greg Abbott toured the area affected by the July 4th floods on Monday and spoke to reporters afterwards.
He said officials reduced the number of missing people from more than 160 to 97.
"Those who are missing on this list, most of them, were more difficult to identify because there was no record of them logging in anywhere," he explained. "And it was through information provided by a friend, family member, whatever the case may be that they haven’t been found.”
The overall death toll from the Texas flooding disasters stood at 132.
