|City Council action (4-0)
|After four separate appeals to the City Council to pass a sanctuary city ordinance, upon advice of the City Attorney, the Council elected to only pass a non-binding resolution. Upon the filing of a citizen initiative petition to pass an actual ordinance, the Council reversed course and adopted an ordinance in lieu of putting the matter before the voters, the first city to take such an action in that manner.<ref>Under Texas law, if a properly submitted initiative calls for adoption of an ordinance, the City Council must either pass the ordinance, or submit the matter to the voters for approval.</ref>
