Katy City Council approves ordinance calling January 2026 special election to fill Ward A seat
Summary
At a Dec. 15 special session the Katy City Council voted to call a special election in January 2026 to fill the unexpired Ward A term (May 2024–May 2027); the motion passed after a second with no further discussion recorded.
The Katy City Council on Dec. 15 approved an ordinance calling a special election in January 2026 to fill the unexpired Ward A council term running May 2024 through May 2027.
Council member Janet Court moved to adopt the ordinance, and Mayor Pro Tem Chris Harris seconded. The council called for the vote and the chair announced, "motion carries." The transcript records members saying "aye"; no individual roll-call votes or vote tallies by name appear in the meeting transcript.
The ordinance was presented as agenda item number 4. The council did not record extended discussion of the ordinance in the transcript before the motion and vote. The text of the ordinance as read by the presiding officer describes the election date as January 2026 and that the contest will fill the unexpired Ward A term through May 2027.
Following the vote the council moved to adjourn; the meeting closed at 5:39 p.m.
Next steps for the ordinance are administrative: the city clerk and election officials typically publish the official order, timeline and candidate filing details; those materials were not included in the transcript and are not specified here.
