Texas Officials Indicted in Frio County Vote Harvesting Scheme
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has announced the indictments and arrests of six individuals, including several public officials, on charges related to a vote harvesting scheme in Frio County.
“The people of Texas deserve fair and honest elections, not backroom deals and political insiders rigging the system. Elected officials who think they can cheat to stay in power will be held accountable. No one is above the law,” stated Attorney General Paxton. “My office will continue to work with Frio County District Attorney Audrey Louis to protect the integrity of our elections.”
The investigation, conducted by Attorney General Paxton’s Criminal Investigation Division, began in August 2024 with the execution of multiple search warrants in Frio, Atascosa, and Bexar Counties, following credible allegations of vote harvesting.
On May 1, 2025, Frio County District Attorney Audrey Louis and the Election Integrity Unit of the Office of the Attorney General presented the criminal vote harvesting case to a Frio County grand jury. The grand jury returned indictments for the following individuals:
- Rochelle Lozano-Camacho: Frio County Judge, indicted on 3 counts of Vote Harvesting.
- Carlos Segura: Former Frio County Elections Administrator, indicted on 1 count of Tampering with or Fabricating Physical Evidence.
- Ramiro Trevino: Pearsall City Council member, indicted on 1 count of Vote Harvesting.
- Racheal Garza: Pearsall City Council member, indicted on 1 count of Vote Harvesting.
- Adriann Ramirez: Pearsall ISD Trustee, indicted on 3 counts of Vote Harvesting.
- Rosa Rodriguez: Alleged Frio County Vote Harvester, indicted on 2 counts of Vote Harvesting.
All suspects were arrested on May 2, 2025, with the exception of Rochelle Camacho, who will be processed at a later date.
Attorney General Paxton’s Election Integrity Unit, in collaboration with the Frio County District Attorney, is continuing its investigation into the case.
