The Fulshear City Council held a special meeting on August 18, 2025, primarily focused on the fiscal year 2026 budget. The meeting began with discussions regarding the budget's impact on the city's overall financial system, highlighting concerns that further deliberation was necessary.

Council member Kanopy proposed a motion to postpone the approval of the FY 2026 budget and to schedule a budget workshop for more in-depth discussions. This motion was seconded by council member Powers. Following a brief discussion, the council voted unanimously in favor of postponing the budget approval, effectively rendering subsequent agenda items B, C, and D moot.
