FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) _ A Tarrant County employee in charge of a court records software system has been fired after pornographic images allegedly were found on his work computer.
Mark O’Neal, who worked for the county since 1985, says he’ll appeal. County commissioners are expected to consider the matter on Jan. 24.
O’Neal was a senior project manager when audit issues were raised last month. KTVT-TV reports O’Neal was in charge of a project that has taken several years to develop and the software is still not online.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports documents indicate O’Neal’s laptop had more than 150 inappropriate images and records of visits to an adult dating site.
Dec. 1 submitted his resignation, effective Jan. 27. He was terminated Dec. 6.
A county spokesman declined comment, citing personnel issues.
