(August 21, 2008)—Former Round Rock pastor Donald Roger Clyde pleaded guilty to two counts of felony theft, admitting that he stole several hundred thousand dollars from his church.
Clyde, 49, resigned last year as senior pastor of the Fellowship at Forest Creek Church during the investigation of missing funds.
Prosecutors say Clyde used the money to buy property, boats and go on vacations.
Clyde is free on $400,000 bond, pending sentencing on Oct. 2.
Williamson County District Attorney John Bradley said his office is recommending Clyde serve five years in prison, to be followed by 10 years probation.
Bradley told The Associated Press that Clyde has paid restitution of about $350,000 and would face about $450,000 more in restitution.
