Let’s clear this up once and for all, because there’s been way too much confusion about how this city is supposed to operate. This is not opinion. This is Texas law. The city council is the governing authority. Texas Local Government Code § 51.001 gives that power to the governing body, not to the mayor, not to individual council members, and not to decisions made behind the scenes. That means one thing: if it wasn’t posted on an agenda, discussed in an open meeting, and voted on by council, it is not an official action of this city The law is clear on process. Texas Government Code § 551.002 requires meetings to be open. § 551.041 requires proper notice of what will be discussed. § 551.042 limits discussion to posted items. No posting means no discussion. No discussion means no decision. No vote means no authority. The mayor’s role is defined in Texas Local Government Code § 22.042. The mayor ensures laws and ordinances are carried out, not created unilaterally, not changed behind the scenes, and not enforced based on personal direction. Individual council members have no authority outside a posted meeting. None. They do not direct staff. They do not make decisions. They do not act for the city on their own. City staff do not answer to individual elected officials. They answer through the chain of command and lawful council action, not private instructions, not pressure, and not politics. The law also addresses backdoor decision-making. Texas Government Code § 551.143 makes it illegal to intentionally circumvent the Open Meetings Act through private or serial discussions. § 551.141 actions taken in violation can be voided. § 551.144 criminal penalties can apply for illegal closed meetings.
This is why structure matters. Policy decisions, including employee benefits, cannot be changed without coming back to council. Switching something major, like a PPO to an HMO, without a posted vote is not a minor adjustment. It is a policy change, and it requires full council action in an open meeting. Anything else puts the city at risk.
So here is the rule everyone should understand: if it was not posted, discussed, and voted on in an open meeting, it is not an official action of this city.

That is not debate. That is the law.

Last night’s vote on employee health insurance was one of the most important decisions we’ve faced as a Council. This was not a vote about choosing employees over roads. It was a vote about making sure a major change to employee healthcare was fully understood before being implemented. Employee health benefits are part of total compensation.
When a plan change may increase out-of-pocket costs, disrupt access to trusted doctors, or create uncertainty about medication coverage, those impacts must be carefully evaluated. I support improving our streets. I also support responsible decision-making.
Good governance means reviewing the facts, asking hard questions, and avoiding rushed decisions that could create long-term financial risk for our workforce and our City. I remain committed to working with every member of Council to find real, sustainable solutions that strengthen both our infrastructure and our employees’ wellbeing.

I’m officially announcing my run for re-election to West Tawakoni City Council Seat 1. I’m not running to blend in, play nice, or sit quiet. I’m running to keep this city in the hands of the residents not the clique that thinks they still own it.
There’s a reason Pam Reed jumped into this race: not because she’s been working for the people,
not because she’s built or fixed anything in this town,but because the insiders need someone they can control.
They couldn’t control me so they’re trying to replace me.This election is not about personality it’s about power.
Theirs… or the people’s.
I’ve spent my time on council pushing for accountability, transparency, and open-door government not closed-circle deals. I don’t bow to pressure. I don’t vote to protect anyone’s ego or status. I answer to the residents who actually live here, pay taxes here, and raise families here. Pam Reed is the candidate for the old guard. I am the candidate for the people. If you want this city moving forward not backwards then stand with me and help ensure West Tawakoni stays in the hands of the public, not a private circle behind closed doors. Please Vote this year. And Like my post if I have your vote. Thank You

They couldn’t control me — so they’re trying to replace me.

A lot of people run for office talking about what they plan to do.
I’d rather talk about what’s already been done.

While other towns stall, we pushed forward.

✅ I helped bring in real infrastructure upgrades instead of another round of excuses.
✅ Held people accountable when they thought nobody was watching.
✅ Fought for transparency so deals don’t happen in dark corners.
✅ Started turning this town from stuck-in-neutral into forward motion.

Not talk. Not theory. Work.

And I’m not finished.

Here’s what’s next:

➡️ More infrastructure —not just Band-Aids
➡️ Cleaner, safer, better-run city systems
➡️ Growth that benefits locals, not just outsiders
➡️ A city government that answers to the community, not the clique

Some folks want a politician in this seat.

I’m not that guy.
I’m the one who does the job not just wears the title.

West Tawakoni doesn’t need another smiling “yes-man.”
It needs someone with a spine, a memory, and a plan.
