# Central Texas Cities Reassess Surveillance Contracts

Central Texas municipalities are reviewing, suspending, or ending Flock Safety camera programs amid privacy concerns and a Texas state-funding freeze. Kyle has three active contracts totaling $426,000 annually, but suspended camera operations pending a May community referendum. San Marcos canceled its Flock Safety contract in December 2025; New Braunfels needs council approval of a new purchase order and state funding to sustain its program, while Rollingwood has discussed authorizing an RFP for surveillance cameras and infrastructure without taking official action. These decisions create near-term uncertainty for incumbent providers and potential competition for surveillance technology and infrastructure work.

- Kyle’s contract portfolio covers ALPRs, live-feed cameras, and drones; contractors should account for the city’s suspension and community input when planning renewals or service continuity.
- New Braunfels’ purchase order depends on council approval and state funding, making both decision points relevant to suppliers pursuing or supporting the program.
- Rollingwood’s RFP remains a discussion rather than an active solicitation. Prospective bidders can follow local council agendas and public-input processes for concrete procurement actions.
