Caldwell County approves MOU with TxDOT to deploy Flock license-plate cameras
Summary
The Caldwell County Commissioners Court on Sept. 24 approved Resolution 252024 to enter a multi-use agreement with TxDOT and The Flock Group Inc. to install automated license-plate-reader cameras on state rights-of-way and authorized the county judge to sign the agreement.
The Caldwell County Commissioners Court voted Sept. 24 to approve Resolution 252024, authorizing the county to enter into a multi-use agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation to place automated license-plate-reader cameras provided by The Flock Group Inc. along state rights-of-way.
Judge Hayden read the resolution, saying the county "entered into that certain order dated May 31st 2024 with Flock...for the provision of certain hardware, software, and professional services with regards to automated license plate reader cameras." The resolution approves an agreement substantially in the form attached as an exhibit and authorizes the county judge to execute the agreement on behalf of the county.
Commissioner Theriault moved for approval; Commissioner Westmoreland seconded. The court voted, "Aye," with no recorded opposition.
The resolution cites the sheriff's office need for law-enforcement data acquisition and management and makes the agreement effective immediately upon passage. The court did not debate technical specifications, siting details, cost breakdowns or data-retention policies during the public session; those specifics appear in the attached exhibit referenced by the resolution. The court approved the measure in a single motion with no recorded amendments.
Next steps: the county judge is authorized to sign the multi-use agreement and staff will proceed with implementing the installation through TxDOT permissions and the contract terms.
