Conroe City Council fell short of the votes needed to put its Flock camera contract on the November ballot
Conroe City Council voted late on August 13th, 2026 on whether to place a binding proposition about the city's Flock Safety license plate reader cameras before voters in November. Reporting says the motion did not get the three yes votes it needed. Council Member David Hairel and Council Member Shana Arthur were the only members who supported it. The city faced an August 17th deadline to place items on the November ballot, so the question will not reach Conroe voters this fall. The same council had already voted unanimously on July 23rd, 2026 to table two Flock related proposals indefinitely, a step that did not terminate or change the city's Flock agreement. The neighboring city of League City took the opposite path two days earlier and ordered the election.
