City of Springtown

David Miller has become a recurring figure of interest in numerous Reno, TX-related discussions and online content. I am currently engaged in a dispute with the Springtown City Council regarding both Mr. Miller and his assistant, Christina Derr. I possess documentation that raises serious concerns about questionable practices and potentially unethical behavior involving both individuals.

Despite these concerns, Springtown is in the process of honoring Mr. Miller and Ms. Derr with awards recognizing their contributions to the city. However, credible sources—including individuals bound by non-disclosure agreements—have urged me to continue investigating, suggesting that further troubling information remains hidden.

It’s worth noting that both Mr. Miller and the former Bedford, TX city manager departed their roles simultaneously, following the city manager’s release after a special council meeting. Subsequently, both individuals assumed positions within the City of Springtown. Mr. Miller now serves as both City Manager and, informally, Chief of Police—a situation I’ve repeatedly challenged before the City Council.

The Council has attempted to downplay the dual-role issue by claiming Mr. Miller is not compensated for his police-related duties, citing his prior experience as a justification. However, a review of his Peace Officer License indicates that his only documented experience as a Chief of Police is in Springtown. Compounding concerns, the city had previously dissolved the Chief of Police role—allegedly to reallocate funds for department-wide raises—and introduced a new “Deputy Chief of Police” position. The salary for this role exceeded that of the prior Chief, and Mr. Miller was reportedly tasked with training the individual for a two-year period. That period has now lapsed without the expected transition.

Additionally, Christina Derr received a substantial raise and promotion amounting to nearly a 30% increase, effectively nullifying the purported cost-saving measures. I also have a direct statement from Ms. Derr confirming these details.

Furthermore, I have obtained an email sent by Mr. Miller to the Mayor of Reno in which he submitted his application for the City Manager position—during business hours while employed by Springtown. There is also a text message from Mr. Miller to an individual named Hector, offering to submit Ms. Derr’s application for the same position, again during official work hours. I am also in possession of the email that led to Mr. Miller’s resignation from Tri-County, which shows he used his nonprofit email account to distribute confidential information.

Considering all this, the fact that Springtown intends to publicly award Mr. Miller and Ms. Derr—less than two months after both sought to leave for positions in Reno—raises serious concerns. Most notably, Ms. Derr recently received yet another promotion, despite actively pursuing employment elsewhere just three months ago.

This pattern of behavior, coupled with inconsistencies in titles, compensation, and responsibilities, suggests that a deeper review of these circumstances is both warranted and necessary.

David Miller’s Job History was never as a Chief of Police except at the City of Springtown, which is questionable at best
