Good catch Ron. I double checked the depth in the database to see if I'd messed up the depth on the website. It's indeed 24m.
The last updates on the cave, I derived from Bill Tucker's Survey notes plotted in Walls after instruction from David McKenzie on dive surveys in Walls.

There is no Texas Speleological Society to my knowledge.

Nice that the cave moved up in the long and deep cave lists, although they must have been using an out-of-date deep list, since at the old depth of 24 m it would have been nowhere near 65th, but rather less than 126th, the limit of the list at <http://www.utexas.edu/tmm/sponsored_sites/tss/longdeep/tssdeepcaves.htm>. Or maybe they meant 165th... The new depth of 72 m also puts them at 21st, not 14th as they claim. At least they got the length ranking right.
