Overall Conclusion
An investigation by the State Auditor's Office's Special Investigations Unit led to the Travis County Attorney's Office filing criminal charges on June 3, 2011, against Sharon Davis. Ms. Davis was a former employee of the Mansfield Independent School District (MISD) in Mansfield, Texas.
In February 2010, the Special Investigations Unit received an allegation of fraud involving a state warrant issued by the Office of the Comptroller of Public Accounts. Ms. Davis reported not receiving a warrant from the Teacher Retirement System for her retirement pension. After a second warrant was issued, Ms. Davis cashed both the original warrant and the second warrant. Ms. Davis had requested the original warrant after ending her employment with MISD.
