Even after Texas received and allocated billions of dollars for broadband, much of Kerr County still has limited to no cell phone reception.
Even as cell phone towers have been built across the state, many rural areas in Texas still have little to no cell phone reception, including at the Texas-Mexico border, and in many areas of central and west Texas, including in Kerr County.
For years, residents and vacationers have lived with limited to no cell phone reception during normal weather and none during inclement weather.
This was made painfully clear during the July 4 flash flood event that tore through the county, killing 94 and with at least 161 missing, The Center Square reported.
At a press conference this week, Kerrville City Manager Dalton Rice said many areas of the county, including where children’s camps are located, don’t have cell phone service.
From Kerrville to some of the camps, it can take 45 minutes on a good day in good weather to reach, Rice said.
