COLLINSVILLE, Texas - Collinsville Independent School District confirmed that Coach Derrick Jenkins was placed on administrative leave on October 27, 2025, after the district received a report alleging inappropriate communications with a student. School officials immediately notified the Collinsville Police Department along with other required state agencies, according to the district’s public statement.
The case remains an active and ongoing criminal investigation. Collinsville Police say they have spent hundreds of hours on the case since mid-October, working alongside additional local law enforcement partners, the Texas Rangers, the Grayson County Children’s Advocacy Center, and the Grayson County District Attorney’s Office.
Because the investigation is still open, authorities say they cannot release information that could compromise the case or affect any potential prosecution. Police urged the public to avoid unverified claims circulating online and to rely only on official updates from the Collinsville Police Department or other verified agencies.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Lieutenant Cheshire at the Collinsville Police Department at 903-870-6460 or jcheshire@collinsvilletexas.org.
