Secretary Scott Releases Phase 1 Progress Report On Full Forensic Audit Of 2020 General Election
AUSTIN — Texas Secretary of State John Scott today released a progress report upon conclusion of Phase 1 of the state’s full forensic audit of the 2020 General Election. The report, which outlines initial findings regarding the security and integrity of Texas’ election systems in Collin, Dallas, Harris and Tarrant counties, shows that:
- Statewide, a total of 509 potential cross-state duplicate votes were cast in the November 2020 General Election – meaning these individuals may have cast a ballot in both Texas and another state. Of those, 9 cast ballots in Collin County, 12 cast ballots in Dallas County, 27 cast ballots in Harris County, and 12 cast ballots in Tarrant County.
- Since November 2020, 224,585 deceased voters have been removed from the voter rolls in Texas – indicating the counties are performing their fundamental duties under federal and state law to maintain the accuracy of the statewide voter registration list and mitigate fraudulent activity related to potentially deceased voters. Collin County removed 4,889 deceased voters, Dallas County removed 14,926 deceased voters, Harris County removed 23,914 deceased voters, and Tarrant County removed 13,955 deceased voters.
- Statewide, a total of 67 potential votes cast in the name of deceased people are under investigation. Of those, 3 were cast in Collin County, 9 were cast in Dallas County, 4 were cast in Harris County and 1 was cast in Tarrant County.
- Statewide, a total of 11,737 potential non-U.S. citizens were identified as being registered to vote. Of these, 327 records were identified in Collin County, 1,385 were identified in Dallas County, 3,063 were identified in Harris County and 708 were identified in Tarrant County. While counties still have a significant number of pending investigations to complete, and have undertaken this list maintenance process to varying degrees, so far Dallas County has cancelled 1,193 potential non-U.S. citizen records, Tarrant County has cancelled one record, and Collin and Harris have not cancelled any potential non-U.S. citizen records. The final findings will be verified during Phase 2 of the full forensic audit.
- In a review of each county’s partial manual count report required under Texas law, three of the four counties reported discrepancies between ballots counted electronically versus those counted by hand. The reported reasons for these discrepancies are included in the report and will be re-examined, investigated and verified during Phase 2 of the full forensic audit.
- Each of the four counties has dedicated at least $136,000 to enhancing their respective election security postures over the past two years – including both cybersecurity and physical security of election equipment. This includes funds provided through Help America Vote Act (HAVA) Election Security allocation to the State of Texas, as well as local matching county funds.
To the extent any information was not made available to the Texas Secretary of State’s office before the publication of this report, the SOS office will endeavor to include any outstanding data figures in the final forensic audit report released after the completion of Phase 2.

Park And Senior Center, Potential Economic Development Projects On Jan. 4 Agenda
Pacific Park and senior center projects as well as potential economic development projects are among the topics on the Sulphur Springs City Council Jan. 4 agenda.
The City Council will first meet at 6:30 p.m. in executive session to consult with an attorney, discuss real property matters, specifically potential acquisition of property for storm drainage purposes, and to consider two economic development projects: one for D6 Inc. and one for a project described only as Project Superman. Afterward, the City Council will return to the Council Chambers on the first floor of Sulphur Springs Municipal Building (city hall) at 7 p.m. for the regular open portion of the meeting. Any action on items pushed forward from the closed session would be presented during the regular meeting.
Reinvestment Zone
One item on the regular agenda includes an ordinance which would establish a reinvestment zone for D6 Inc. for a multi-year expansion project, which would relocate of the company’s corporate headquarters from Oregon to Sulphur Springs, Texas, and include a 300,000 square-foot expansion.
The planned project is a $21 million capital investment that will create 231 new jobs, Governor Greg Abbott announced on Oct. 15. The business has also been approved for a $1,432,200 Texas Enterprise Fund grant and a $6,000 Veteran Created Job Bonus to help with the move.
D6 Inc. has only been in operation in Sulphur Springs for about a year, having opened a plant inside the old Coca-Cola buildings at the end of 2020 to better serve a Paris, Texas business.
At least three taxing entities last year approved incentives to D6 for the initial $6 million investment, which included an immediate 25,000-square-foot expansion of the building, and plans to expand within 18 months.
Now, local officials are being asked again to consider approving additional tax incentives for D6 for the investment which is projected to provide at least 231 jobs which should have a positive significant impact on the Northeast Texas economy. Some people will move with the company to Texas. The rest will be hired locally as needed.
Approving the reinvestment zone will allow the city, county and hospital district to consider tax incentives for D6’s planned expansion as well.
Overall, the business is expected to expand the current operation by 300,000-square feet, with a 180,000-square-foot building to be constructed as soon as the business can get everything in line and another 120,000-square-foot building expansion in three years. The new buildings will be located by the Saputo (old We Pack) property just across the highway from the current facility, on the 10 acres the EDC has near the railroad tracks, according to Sulphur Springs-Hopkins County Economic Development Corporation Executive Director Roger Feagley.
Rezoning Request
Sulphur Springs City Council too is being asked during the Jan. 4 meeting to consider a request from John Heilman to rezone a 0.97 acre property located at 1381 West Industrial Drive from heavy commercial to light industrial.
Heilman owns that property as well as another connected to it. This would make both light industrial, which would allow him to sell it together for potential future businesses. He explained to the Planning and Zoning Commission earlier this month that he’d been approached by representatives from a few businesses who are interested in the property, including one for a water park like the one located in Canton and a travel center, which would offer diesel fuel but at this point is not proposed to offer overnight parking for big rigs.
The proposed ordinance rezoning the property is being forwarded to the City Council at the recommendation of the zoning board and city staff, who have reviewed the request and find the zoning consistent with zoning along that corridor.
Park, Senior Center
Resolution No. 1284 will be presented for City Council discussion and consideration; this is for a Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs grant for the Senior Citizens Center.
A public hearing is also slated at 5 p.m. Jan. 11, 2022, at City Hall for anyone who wishes to give feedback regarding a Community Development Block Grant – Coronavirus Community Resiliency Program pre-application to be submitted to Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs to request funding to help construct a new senior citizens activity center.
The agenda also includes two items that would move the Pacific Park improvement projects forward. The Jan. 4 agenda includes: discussion on bids and possible awarding of a contract for the supply of concrete for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Grant Project, and the purchase of restrooms through a Sourcewell contract.
Fire Department
Also slated for discussion and consideration is a resolution hiring a consultant to locate existing and future required fire stations based on the present city limits.
The city has experienced continued development and expansion, and the consultant would consider based on those and potential future growth the best locations for the city’s fire departments, either by maximizing the current resources or if an additional station would be required. The consultant’s recommendation would taken into account a desire to keep the city’s current ISO rating while fully and properly providing sufficient fire services.
Other Items
Last month, the City Council authorized the city manager to execute documents needed for one agricultural license agreement for the old Thermo mine/Luminant property. On Jan. 4, 2022, the City Council will be asked to consider approving four agricultural license agreements for the old mine property and authorizing Marc Maxwell to execute those documents as well.
The consent agenda includes minutes from previous council and city board meetings as well as a request for one 380 agreement.
Ben Wheeler Man Jailed After Almost Striking Patrol Vehicle, Threatening A Cumby Police Officer
A 38-year-old Ben Wheeler man was jailed Thursday night after almost striking a patrol vehicle and threatening a Cumby Police officer, according to arrest reports.
Cumby Police Officer Justin Talley reported he was traveling west on the south frontage road, when a silver passenger car failed to maintain a single lane of traffic. As the car crossed the double yellow line on the south Interstate 30 frontage road near mile marker 114, it nearly struck Talley’s patrol vehicle, the officer alleged in arrest reports.
Talley reported stopping the Ford Focus at 9 p.m. on FM 2653 at I-30 east. Upon contact with the driver, Talley reported seeing an open Steel Reserve beer container in the center cup holder.
The driver complied when Talley asked him to exit the car. However, when Talley placed the man identified in arrest reports as Waylon Parsons was placed into custody at 9:05 p.m. Dec. 30, 2021, the 38-year-old Ben Wheeler man threatened to crack his skull, Talley alleged in arrest reports.
A search of Parsons’ car revealed a sawed off shotgun with a barrel length of less than 18 inches under the front passenger’s seat within Parsons’ reach, Talley alleged in arrest reports.
Parsons was transported to Hopkins County jail, where he was charged with possession of a prohibited weapon, the sawed-off shotgun, and obstruction or retaliation for threatening a Cumby Police officer. He remained in Hopkins County jail Friday morning, Dec. 31, 2021, awaiting arraignment on both felony charges, jail records show.
According to jail reports, Thursday is the second time Parsons, who is also known by James Waylon Parsons, has been booked into Hopkins County jail this year. He spent the night June 2, 2021, in custody for public intoxication.

Change In State Law Allows Additional Time For Online Registration Renewal Eligibility
AUSTIN, Texas – A new state law gives Texans additional time to renew their vehicle registration online. House Bill 2152 allows online registration renewals up to 12 months past the expiration date. Previously, Texans could renew expired registrations online up to nine months past the expiration date. Customers who renew late will still be responsible for paying for a full year of registration.
Additionally, anyone renewing between 10 and 12 months after their registration expires will have the option to renew for both the current (past-due) registration year and the next registration year at the same time. The month of expiration will not change for Texans using this option. Registration and local county fees will be doubled when registration is renewed for both years; however, only one processing and handling fee will be charged.
To renew your registration online visit TxDMV.gov or Texas.gov.
