The Navarro County seat, a home-rule city of about 25,000. My coverage opened in October 2026 with a federal civil rights lawsuit filed by a former Precinct 1 councilmember against the City, its former mayor, its elected city attorney, its city manager, and its former police chief.
William A. Jones, who represented Precinct 1 until July 2025, alleges in a federal lawsuit that Corsicana's former mayor, city attorney, city manager, and former police chief retaliated against him for records requests and oversight.

If something in Corsicana does not add up, send it. Documents help, but a date, a place, or a name is enough to start. I read every tip myself.
