• Lawmakers added $1 to Texans' car insurance policies. That money paid for thousands of Flock cameras. (click2houston.com) — Texas' $1 auto insurance fee has quietly funded thousands of Flock license plate cameras statewide, including systems used by Pasadena police to investigate catalytic converter thefts.

Lawmakers are weighing whether the program violates Texans' constitutional rights.
