Recall election vote fails in Kingsville, now in hands of district judge

[RandySF]

A proposal to call a special recall election failed Monday night after a 3-2 vote by the Kingsville City Commission.

The three commissioners who voted against the measure — Norma Nelda Alvarez, Hector Hinojosa, and Leo Alarcon — are the same officials who were the targets of the recall effort.

The decision didn’t come as a surprise to some residents, including Selena Tijerina, who launched the petition that triggered the recall process.

“I did expect the vote to go this way,” said Tijerina. “I expected for the vote to go 3-2.”
