Ford not selected for Texas position

BURNET, Texas — The former police chief in Cedar Park, Texas, has been named chief in Burnet, Texas, officials said this week.

Clovis Police Chief Doug Ford had been one of four finalists for the job, but Burnet City Manager David Vaughn said the city has hired Sean Mannix.

Ford said he has family in the Burnet area and decided to apply for the job when it came open.

“I still enjoy serving and protecting our community,” Ford wrote in an email to the News. “I am not involved in any other hiring processes.”
