Texas Rangers are seizing documents from Harris County Administration offices in an investigation into a multimillion dollar COVID-19 contract.
HOUSTON, Texas -- Law enforcement sources tell 13 Investigates that Texas Rangers are in the process of serving search warrants at locations across Harris County.
Amidst controversy over the hiring, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo canceled the deal months later. But, county documents obtained by 13 Investigates show the county still paid nearly $1.4 million on the contract as it wound down. The county asked for $207,524 of the $1,425,237 it paid Elevate Strategies back. The company refunded the county $177,181.54 on Sept. 29, 2021, and the remaining $30,342.70 on Oct. 26, 2021.
Elevate Strategies is a small Houston firm and the contract was designed to reach unvaccinated people in Harris County to convince them to get vaccinated.
