The Flores family has agreed to pay an additional $2.5 million in civil penalties in a case involving fraud against the United States, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Texas said. The office also says convicted members of the family are connected to the matter.
The office announced the settlement in a post from U.S. Attorney WDTX
, the official account of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Texas. The post describes the payment as a civil settlement but does not detail the conduct behind the case.
Office Describes Its Accountability Approach
A statement attributed to the office in the post reads, “This settlement shows my office does not leave any stone unturned when it comes to those who defraud the United States. The convicted members of the Flores family already confessed to betraying the American public and stealing from taxpayers.”
The office says its work includes seeking accountability in cases involving fraud against the United States. The announcement does not describe the specific conduct underlying the civil case, identify the court where the settlement was filed, or set out its terms.
Policy Changes and Employee Training
The settlement includes policy updates and employee training.
What the Available Details Show
The announcement does not identify the legal claims resolved by the agreement or provide payment terms. Separately, a Sept. 15, 2026, announcement from San Antonio reported guilty pleas by two defendants in separate PPP-related fraud cases involving approximately a combined $1.2 million in alleged losses, according to the Internal Revenue Service, citing the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Texas. That announcement does not connect those cases to the Flores civil settlement.
