Kevin Bollman, 49, will spend 15 months in prison under an agreement with the U.S. attorney's office for defrauding TxDOT out of $12.9 million.

Bollman also was ordered to pay $1.5 million in restitution to TxDOT.

Last month, Bollman's partner in the Denton County land deals, Wade Blackburn, 35, was sentenced to one year and one day in prison and ordered to pay $1 million in restitution.
