Summary
The Texarkana Board of Directors unanimously approved a resolution appointing Director Ulysses Brewer as assistant mayor; Brewer took the oath of office during the meeting and signed the appointment documents.
The Texarkana Board of Directors voted to appoint Director Ulysses Brewer as assistant mayor during its January 2026 meeting. The city attorney read a resolution authorizing the appointment under the city's ordinance for assistant-mayor succession, the motion was seconded and adopted by roll call, and Brewer was administered the oath of office.
The resolution, read aloud by staff, referred to the city's ordinance requiring the ward 4 director to succeed to the assistant-mayor position. After the board approved the resolution, a municipal judge administered the oath and Brewer signed the paperwork on the dais. Mayor Brown and other members offered congratulations.
The action was procedural and immediate: the board approved the appointment by roll call and completed the oath and signing in the same meeting. No alternate candidates or contested motions were recorded.
