DID YOU KNOW?
In many local elections, only 10%–30% of people vote.
That means 70%–90% of voices go unheard.
Even more eye-opening…
Some races are decided by just a few hundred votes.
👉 In a city like ours, your vote carries real weight.
Decisions about our roads, safety, growth, and future
can come down to a small handful of voters.
💙 Don’t sit this one out.
💚 Don’t let others decide for you.
Make your voice count. Go vote.

Margaritaville Red Flags 🚩🚩🚩🚩
What Texas City deserves to know!
There’s been a lot of talk about Margaritaville coming to Texas City — so let’s clear up the facts.
City leadership explored the opportunity after visiting a Minto-developed 55+ community in South Carolina. For over 18 months, our City Engineer worked closely with the developer to move the project forward — even while other city projects were put on hold.
Despite the city making 30+ concessions, several serious concerns surfaced:
🚩 The developer wanted to gate off public (spinal) roads at Emmett Lowery Expressway
🚩 Amenities would be exclusive to residents only
🚩 A $25M
Amenity Center structured as a non-profit — paying no taxes
🚩 A 55+ community brings no benefit to TCISD, which needs student enrollment
🚩 Potential legal concerns due to excessive concessions
🚩 No long-term commitment to the Margaritaville brand
🚩 Refusal to include “Texas City” in the development name
🚩 Attempting to dictate who the City Engineer should be
Let me be clear.... you don’t get to tell Texas City who we hire.
And here’s the truth behind the question:
“Did the Mayor cancel Margaritaville?”
No.
The developer never submitted the required application. Without it, the project could not move forward through Planning & Zoning — or come before the Commission for a vote.
That’s not politics — that’s process.
Texas City will always welcome smart development ... but not at the expense of our taxpayers, our schools, or our standards.
I will always stand for transparency, accountability, and protecting what matters most to Texas City.
Texas City welcomes smart development
But not at the expense of:
✔ Taxpayers
✔ Our schools
✔ Our standards
