Justin Hicks resigns from League City City Council, special election to be called

League City City Council member Justin Hicks resigned his office March 1, following weeks of a dispute made public between him and the city related to what city documents described as a “domestic disturbance” call made to his home.

The resignation leaves a vacancy on City Council, which has to be filled with a special election, according to city code. City officials said City Council is expected to call for one at its March 11 meeting.

A special meeting was called for March 5, with two possible items related to either accepting Hicks’ resignation or censuring him for “violations of the city of League City’s rules of procedure” and “conduct unbecoming [of] a City Council member,” according to the agenda item. The latter item still would have required Hicks to resign, documents show.

However, the meeting has since been canceled after Hicks tendered his resignation March 1, according to a copy of Hicks' resignation letter shared with Community Impact on March 3.
