Texas Supreme Court
In Re San Juanita Sanchez, Pete Garcia, and Esperanza Lopez Flores, Relators
August 29, 200245 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 1257
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court held that Election Code §143.005 authorizes a home‑rule city to set its own filing deadline for municipal elections, so the charter’s thirty‑day deadline governs; consequently the city secretary must accept the relators’ applications and place their names on the ballot.
