The Harris County district attorney’s office and Texas Rangers seized computer equipment at the county administrative buildings Friday for evidence relating to a controversial $11 million COVID-19 vaccine outreach contract that was rescinded last year.
Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo speaks at a news conference last year. Texas Rangers on Friday searched the Harris County administrative building in a probe related to a COVID-19 vaccine outreach contract awarded last year.
Both the Department of Public Safety, which oversees the Rangers, and the district attorney’s office confirmed a judge had signed off on warrants, though neither would confirm their contents or the investigation they involved. The Rangers said the district attorney’s office had requested assistance with the searches.
Elevate Strategies won the contract over the University of Texas Health Science Center, despite its lack of public health experience and its more costly bid. UT Health had received the most points in an initial county scoring competition.
