Election code requires 6 months in the jurisdiction and one year in the state - so Adelfia would NOT be eligible if she returned on 31Aug2013 like the Mayor, given the 28Feb2014 sign-up date. However, the elction code defers to the Local Govt. Code which only requires council candidates to be resident on the day of the election.

Check out Texas Local Government Code Section 22.032 (a):<br />To be eligible for the office of mayor of the municipality, a person must be a registered voter <b>and must have resided within the municipal limits for at least the 12 months preceding the election day</b>.Editor Publisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16773162619406038011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3388108385578200572.post-42158664614864493332014-03-03T05:06:09.971-06:002014-03-03T05:06:09.971-06:00I never said he was a house!
