Texas Voters Decide Local Races and Bonds

Texas voters participated in local elections on May 3, 2025, selecting leaders, deciding on city council seats, and voting on major bond issues across multiple regions. San Antonio elected a new mayor after eight years and will see four new city council members due to term limits, with the winners serving the city's first-ever four-year terms. Central Texas voters considered substantial school bonds, including a nearly $1 billion proposal in Hays County, and chose mayors and council members in cities like Bastrop, Round Rock, Leander, and Cedar Park. Coastal Bend counties voted on large school bonds and city charter amendments, including new term limits and restrictions on city manager roles. In Fort Worth, most incumbents retained their seats, while competitive races for two open council positions saw early leads for Deborah Peoples and Mia Hall. South Texas counties such as Cameron and Hidalgo held elections for city incorporations, school trustees, and venue projects, with some results still pending.
