Analysis

Candidates were declared unopposed and the May 2, 2020 General City Election was cancelled at the March 3, 2020 Council Meeting. The Texas Election Code Section 2.053(e) stipulates that unopposed candidates shall be issued a certificate of election and sworn in at the same time as provided for a candidate elected at the election.
