HENDERSON COUNTY, Texas (KLTV) - A Eustace police officer has been arrested after investigators say he was sharing child pornography online. An arrest affidavit alleges the officer uploaded the videos from an IP address which matches an address used from his city-issued patrol unit.
Cody Mitchell Burris, 32, of Tyler, was arrested Saturday after investigators reportedly found videos of young girls performing sex acts in his possession. According to an arrest affidavit, Burris was found to be an active police officer for the City of Eustace.
The investigation began on June 21, 2024, when an investigator with the Henderson County Sheriff’s Office Crimes Against Children division discovered videos depicting child pornography being shared by a user with Henderson County IP addresses. The investigator received a search warrant for the addresses in November, and digital content was returned on Dec. 25.
According to the document, the content included additional pieces of child pornography and images of a man sitting inside what appeared to be a police car. The document says the mayor of Eustace identified the man in the pictures as Burris, and informed the investigator that Burris was an active officer for the city. The mayor also reported that Burris lived in Tyler, and gave a description of his vehicle.
Burris remains booked in the Henderson County Jail on a $75,000 bond. KLTV has reached out to the City of Eustace for comment.
