Flower Mound Town Council Member Jim Pierson resigned his Place 1 position via email, Mayor Steve Dixon announced at a regular meeting of the council on May 12. A reason was not given for his departure.
“I wished him well and thanked him for his service,” Dixon said. “He wanted me to relay the information to council, and he said his resignation was immediate, and he did say that he wasn’t going to be able to make it tonight.”
The vacancy leaves the Town Council with the option to either call a special election or to appoint a replacement since Pierson resigned in the final year of his term.
If a special election is called, the Texas Constitution requires it be held within 120 days of the date of the vacancy.
