The City of Stafford administered the oath of office to Xavier Herrera (Position 5) and Tim Wood (Position 6) at its May 11 meeting; both delivered brief remarks thanking supporters and calling for unity. The oath cited authority of the State of Texas.
At the May 11, 2026 meeting the council administered the oath of office to the two newly elected members of the Stafford City Council. The mayor announced "Position number 5, Xavier Herrera" and "position number 6, Tim Ward" (transcript), and the oath was given under the authority of the state of Texas; each inductee repeated the oath affirming they would "faithfully execute the duties" of their respective offices.
During brief remarks after the swearing-in, Xavier Herrera thanked supporters and said, "I also wanna thank the voters who saw through various mistruths, false information, and chose to support me." Councilmember Tim Wood also thanked his family and supporters and said he "represents the entire community" and hoped the council would "unite and not divide" on issues. The meeting record shows the council moved from canvass approval directly into the ceremonial swearing-in at the same session.
