Mandatory evacuation orders issued for San Saba, Texas as the San Saba River continues to rise.

The claim that mandatory evacuation orders were issued for San Saba, Texas, as the San Saba River continues to rise is accurate. Multiple independent and credible news sources report that San Saba County officials, including County Judge Jody Fauley, have issued mandatory evacuation orders specifically for residents living south of the San Saba River. This action is in response to the river's rapid rise, with forecasts predicting it will crest above 30 feet, surpassing previous flood levels experienced earlier in July 2025.

The evacuation orders are part of broader disaster declarations at local, state, and federal levels due to significant flooding risks. The sources consistently mention the timing around mid-July 2025 and emphasize the seriousness of the flooding threat, with some homes already damaged and emergency shelters opened for evacuees. There is no contradictory evidence disputing the issuance of these mandatory evacuations; rather, all reports align on this fact.

The claim is thus supported by multiple authoritative sources and official statements from local government officials.
