Elected officials sworn in during ceremony in Williamson County
GEORGETOWN, Texas - A ceremony was held outside the Williamson County Historic Courthouse in Georgetown to swear in newly elected officials. Among those being sworn in is Mike Gleason, who recently unseated Robert Chody as the sheriff of the Williamson County Sheriff's Office.
Mike Gleason beat Chody with 56 percent of the vote to Chody's 44 percent. Chody, who is under indictment related to the in-custody death of Javier Ambler, lost by 33,242 votes.
Despite this, Chody has announced a lawsuit alleging election fraud in the November election.

As part of the lawsuit, Chody is seeking monetary relief of $100,000 or less and for the court to declare the "true outcome of the contested election" or if the contested election results cannot be ascertained, declare the election void and order "Williamson County Elections Department to conduct and administer a new election according to Texas election laws."
