The Texas Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention Authority awarded the City of Arp $22,043 in its fiscal year 2026 grant listing under the project name Arp PD Flock Grant. The vendor is named on the state award document. Arp is a Smith County city of roughly 1,000 residents east of Tyler. Several candidate city domains were tested and none resolved to a working agenda portal, so no council vote, camera count, contract term or end date is documented. The award listing provides only grant number, grantee, program name and award amount. The Texas Tribune reported on August 3, 2026 that state grants through this authority are the main subsidy behind Flock camera growth in Texas.
