The Texas Department of Transportation has closed Texas Highway 39 from Ingram to U.S. Highway 83 because of water covering the roadway.
Authorities have also received reports of street flooding throughout Ingram, warning that many city streets and other roads may be impassable.
Officials said all travel across Kerr County should be considered hazardous until floodwaters recede and roads can be safely reopened.
Adding to the travel disruptions, Interstate 10 West is closed at mile marker 589, just west of State Highway 41, because of a major crash. Drivers are being asked to avoid the area and seek alternate routes.
Officials continue to urge motorists to never drive through flooded roadways. Even a small amount of moving water can sweep a vehicle off the road.
Residents are encouraged to monitor local forecasts and road conditions as heavy rain continues across the region.
