Kemah Mayor Robin Collins took responsibility for what she termed a “billing error” that resulted in city taxpayers covering her personal legal expenses in 2024, but the city has not provided records indicating that Collins reimbursed the expenses or that the issue has been resolved.

“I want to address a recent billing error,” Collins said at Wednesday’s city council meeting. “The city attorney’s office inadvertently billed the city for a personal matter of mine and I want to be very clear [and] take full responsibility for this error. It has been corrected, and the city has been fully reimbursed.”
