The Texas Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention Authority awarded the City of River Oaks $17,500 in its fiscal year 2026 grant listing. The project title on the state document reads Flock Safety Automated License Plate Reading Cameras, which fixes the vendor on the award record itself. River Oaks runs a CivicPlus agenda center, and searches there for flock and for license plate returned no matching agenda or minutes, so no local approval vote is documented. A search for camera returned only a July 11, 2023 agenda item on upgrading the council chambers camera system, which is unrelated. The award listing carries only grant number, grantee, program name and award amount columns, with no camera count, match share or grant period dates. The approving body is recorded as the awarding state authority because no city council action is on the record.
