Summary
The Nueces County Commissioners Court on Nov. 17 voted to canvass and declare the November election results under Chapter 67 of the Texas Election Code; the voice vote was unanimous among members present and Commissioner Tessie was absent. The court had no public comment and adjourned shortly after the vote.
The Presiding officer convened the Nov. 17 meeting of the Nueces County Commissioners Court and asked for a motion to canvass and declare the county's November election results under Chapter 67 of the Texas Election Code.
Commissioner Gonzales moved to accept the canvass; another commissioner seconded. Commissioner Gonzales said, 'Move.' and the second was heard as 'Second.' The court then held a brief clarification during which a commissioner stated that the city of Rock Sound conducts its own canvassing and that the county was not certifying city canvasses.
After the brief exchange, the presiding officer called a voice vote. Members present responded 'aye,' and the presiding officer announced, 'The motion passes unanimously with commissioner Tessie not being here.' The clerk had presented precinct paperwork and tabulations before the motion was made; no errors or issues were reported on the record.
The court recorded that no one had signed up for public comment and that there would be no executive session. The meeting was adjourned at about 9:06 a.m.
No further actions or follow-ups were announced during the session.
