Chair pauses canvass; council will release May 2 election results at next meeting
Summary
The chair opened a canvassing session citing Texas Election Code §67.004(a) to review the May 2, 2026 general and special election returns, paused for an emergency call for Council member Gonzales, and said canvass results will be announced at the next meeting before adjourning.
The chair called the canvassing session to order and said the body would canvass the May 2, 2026 general and special election returns, citing Texas Election Code §67.004(a). "Pursuant to Texas election code 67.004 a for the purpose of canvassing the election results," the chair said.
The nut graf: Canvassing is the formal verification step that follows an election. In this brief proceeding the chair said the canvass work has been completed but the formal announcement of results will occur at the council's next meeting, delaying official release.
During the session the chair paused the proceedings after announcing, "Council member Gonzales has an emergency call," and indicated a brief break. Later the chair stated, "We have completed the canvassing of the votes and the results will be, made at the, next meeting." The meeting ended when the chair said, "This meeting is adjourned."
No motions, formal ballots recorded in the transcript, or vote tallies were provided during this session. The only statute cited on the record was Texas Election Code §67.004(a) as the authority for canvassing.
The next procedural step identified on the record is the formal release of canvass results at the council's next meeting.
