Event Description	The following information was received via email from the State of Texas: On August 10, 2015, the licensee's radiation safety officer [RSO] reported to our Agency [State of Texas Department of State Health Services] that a source was not able to retract into a radiography camera [at a temporary job site in Houston]. The RSO responded to the job site and checked the equipment. The RSO found the drive cable had broken. The RSO replaced the crank out control mechanism and retracted the source.
