Texas: Lawsuit filed to force Leon Valley City Council to schedule recall election

A lawsuit is trying to force the Leon Valley City Council to schedule a recall against Councilmembers Monica Alcocer and Donna Charles.

The recall is suppose to take place on May 2 and is over the vote to kick out Councilman Benny Martinez over sexual harassment complaint. Petitioners include two former council members and the Mayor Chris Riley.

We have seen officials refuse to schedule a recall before in Texas and other states, so there is plenty of past evidence that this type of delay can work.
