Recall petition on El Paso councilman rejected by city clerk
The El Paso petition failed with just 90 of over 3,000 signatures deemed valid, ending the recall effort against City Rep. Larry Medina. Officials cited missing affidavits. Medina criticized the move as mischaracterizing his stance on a district health institute. Separately in College Station, Brazos County court assigned the first wrongful death suit from Texas A&M bonfire collapse to Judge J D Langley, with related cases moving from probate courts in other counties.
