Mr Leith said the number of dead includes 48 adults and 27 children. The total figure is seven higher than the 68 deaths that had earlier been confirmed in Kerr County.
There has also been one death confirmed in Williamson, one death in Tom Green, four fatalities in Burnet, six fatalities in Travis County and two in Kendall.

Among those killed were campers as young as eight, a camp counsellor and the camp’s director.
At least 41 people are still missing in the state – including 10 girls from the camp.
It comes after Texas agriculture minister Sid Miller told Fox News that cattle and livestock were found on the “tops of trees” in the state due to a “26ft wall of water”.
More heavy rain is expected in the region over the next two days, with flood alerts in place until 7pm local time today.
