Where is a Mumps outbreak in Dallas

I was in SD for the measles outbreak in 2008. I just read a review article about that. The costs to deal with it and contain it are staggering. Plus at least one child who was too young to be immunized got some complications. Her mother campaigns for immunizations now making a point to state that someone who chose not to immunize their child ended up getting her child sick.
