Kingsville woman sues city to enforce recall election for three commissioners

KINGSVILLE, Texas — A Kingsville woman has filed a lawsuit against the city and three commissioners in an effort to enforce the city charter and set a date for a recall election.

Back in June, Selina Tijerina collected 292 signatures to recall commissioners Norma Nelda Alvarez, Hector Hinojosa, and Leo Alarcon, who were all elected in 2024.

The commissioners have been accused of unprofessional conduct and behavior, including targeting personnel, among other issues. Kingsville woman sues city to enforce recall election for three commissioners

"At this point, the next step was to take it to an attorney, get everything done so we could take it to the district court," Tijerina said.

All three commissioners previously voted against the recall , prompting Tijerina to take legal action.
