Police said the incident happened June 11, 2026, at a local retailer in Ennis. Zajic was arrested in connection with Theft of Property valued at more than $100 but less than $750, which is a Class B misdemeanor under Texas law. According to Ennis police, Zajic was arraigned Friday, June 12, and received a $1,000 bond. The department said the case remains under active investigation and that no further information is being released at this time. Police said they will update the public when more information is available. The arrest adds another twist to a rapid political timeline for Zajic. In May, he won the Republican runoff for the Precinct 2 commissioner seat. He was then appointed to the office — and now, just weeks later, he is facing a misdemeanor theft charge in Ennis. Because this is an active case, the details of what allegedly happened at the retailer have not been released. No conviction has occurred, and Matt Zajic is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
