Court ruling may be asked over residency to seek office
The case centers on Dr V Wayney Ramsey who seeks the Democratic nomination for Ramsey County Commissioner Precinct 3. The Texas Election Code requires a six month residency preceding the filing deadline of February 5. Ramsey says he lived in the precinct but was away for about four months with intent to return. Incumbent Les Derrick notes he considered challenging Ramsey but will likely not pursue it. The dispute hinges on whether temporary absence with intention to return counts as residency.
