Bandera council confirms municipal court appointments and administers oath to appointee
Summary
The council approved appointments for municipal court positions — municipal court judge, associate municipal court judge, and court clerk — and administered the oath to the new municipal court judge; the transcript contains inconsistent spellings of the judge’s surname.
The Bandera City Council moved and approved multiple court-related appointments, including a municipal court judge, an associate municipal court judge and a municipal court clerk.
On the agenda the municipal court judge appointment was listed as Michael Towers; the associate municipal court judge was listed as Hino Sabata, and the municipal court clerk as Janette Burke. The council made the motions, approved the appointments by voice vote, and administered the oath to the appointee. During the oath the transcript records the appointee stating the name "Michael Powers," producing an inconsistency between the name as listed on the agenda and the name spoken during oath administration.
Because the transcript contains conflicting surnames for the judge appointment, the council record and the city clerk’s official minutes should be consulted to confirm the correct spelling and legal name on oath documents. The council completed the procedural steps to install the municipal-court personnel as part of its meeting.
