While “White Horse” may say he’s not the one to count on, Chris Stapleton just proved otherwise for Texas.
The country star and his wife, Morgane, have donated $1 million to support victims of the devastating flooding that hit the state over Fourth of July weekend.
On Saturday (July 12), the couple’s charitable fund, Outlaw State of Kind, announced the donation on social media.
“Outlaw State of Kind has donated $1 million to support national and local organizations providing flood relief in Texas,” the organization writes on Facebook.
The donation will be split among several nonprofit organizations actively working on the ground, including:
- Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country
- Texas Search and Rescue
- World Central Kitchen
- Miranda Lambert’s MuttNation Foundation

The rising waters submerged large portions of Kerr County, causing catastrophic damage.
As of now, more than 120 people have been confirmed dead, and more than 160 remain missing, according to CNN.
