The Texas Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention Authority awarded the City of Vidor $55,833 in its fiscal year 2026 grant listing, under the project name VIDOR PD FLOCK GRANT. The vendor is named on the state award document. The city website redirects between two domains, and the government, agendas and police department paths on both returned HTTP 404, so no council agenda or minutes could be read and no local vote is documented. Camera count, contract term and end date are absent from the award listing, which carries only grant number, grantee, program name and award amount. The Texas Tribune reported on August 3, 2026 that the authority is the main state subsidy behind Flock deployments in Texas.
