Deer Park Seeks In And Out Of Flood Insurance Plan
Deer Park seeks to join or opt out of the federal flood insurance program amid a Texas attorney general ruling that counties without NFIA eligibility cannot set flood-prone area building standards. Harris County faces possible loss of up to 12,000 insured residents and nearly 500 million dollars in coverage if the opinion stands. County Judge Jon Lindsay's office cites potential impacts and Deer Park officials urge Governor Dolph Briscoe to extend participation timing during the coming special legislative session. County commissioners and Deer Park city council have adopted similar resolutions urging action.
