Overview

• The board voted to hold the annexation election before any further trustee deliberations, with the date still to be set.
• The zoning hearing was postponed to Feb. 5, and trustees will craft ballot language at a later meeting.
• Buc‑ee’s attorneys asked the town this week to approve a special election rather than decide the annexation at the board level.
• Opponents denounced the step as a delay and argued a vote without zoning details could leave voters with insufficient information.
• The town planning commission advised against annexation last month, and voters recently recalled two trustees and required future annexations to go to a public vote.
