In an Oct. 13 news release, Metayer said he is looking into a run as a Democratic candidate for Texas House District 50, currently held by state Rep. Celia Isreal, D-Austin.
Israel announced in September she will not run for re-election.
Metayer spokesperson Jennifer Strobel said an official announcement could come soon, but she did not have a specific date.
Metayer is not up for re-election on Pflugerville City Council until 2023.
Should he officially decide to run for the Texas House in 2022, Strobel said he will likely have to resign his seat to allow for another candidate to take his place.
"I have spoken to a long list of friends who are willing to support me should I decide to run, and I am humbled by their confidence in my leadership," Metayer said in the release.
Metayer was elected to City Council in 2020 and is also a member of the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization, a member of the Texas Bar Association and an alumnus from The University of Texas in Austin.
