Section 14.09. Power of recall.
The people of the city or, in the case of a Councilman elected from a district, the people of that district reserve the power to recall any elected officer of the city or from that district. In the case of the Mayor elected at large, such power may be exercised by filing with the City Secretary a petition signed by currently qualified voters of the city equal in number to at least twenty five (25) percent of the total number of currently qualified voters registered to vote at the last regular municipal election demanding the removal of such elected officer. In the case of a Councilman elected from a district, such power may be exercised by filing with the City Secretary a petition signed by currently qualified voters of the district served by such Councilman equal in number to at least twenty-five (25) percent of the total number of currently qualified voters registered to vote at the last regular municipal election in such district demanding the removal of such elected officer. If the petition is certified by the City Secretary to be sufficient, the Council shall order and hold an election forthwith to determine whether such officer shall be recalled, and if the majority of the legal votes are cast for a recall of the officer named on the ballot, the Council shall immediately declare his office vacant, and such vacancy shall be filled forthwith in accordance with the provisions of this Charter. No recall petition shall be filed against an officer within six (6) months after such elected officer takes office.
Any member of the City Council may be removed from office by recall. To be valid, a petition submitted for the purpose of complying with a recall election process shall comply with the Texas Election Code, as amended.
