Texas attorney general Waggoner Carr ruled that a Cameron County commissioner must resign a term longer than one year if he runs for Brownsville Independent School District trustee. The AG stated the offices are not incompatible but a candidacy with over a year left triggers automatic resignation, with the commissioner remaining a de jure official until a successor qualifies.
