Follow-up: Mayor files lawsuit against City of Mineral Wells
Mineral Wells Mayor Christopher Perricone has sued the City of Mineral Wells, citing a number of alleged wrongdoings by city council and officials including violating his constitutional rights to due process, his ability to set agendas and call special meetings and asking the court to define the word "deal."
The suit was filed late Monday in the 415th State District Court in Parker County, presided over by Judge Graham Quisenberry. The suit contends that "Parker County is the county in which all or a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to this claim."
Mineral Wells City Attorney Andy Messer learned of the lawsuit just before the beginning of Tuesday's scheduled city council meeting. He requested, and received, a 15-minute recess to review the suit and its potential impact on certain agenda items.
Based on Messer's recommendations, council tabled four agenda items dealing with council interacting with city staff and employees, clarifications on meeting decorum, placing items on future agendas and a closed session item regarding council members' ability to review certified agendas and recordings.

Although municipal officials are supposed to be non-partisan, the mayor acts like a Republican as evidenced in this thread and prior threads that I posted. Suing the city that you are leading as mayor should be a dealbreaker to voters in the next election.
As mentioned in an earlier thread, this is the guy who proposed making Mineral Wells a sanctuary city for the unborn.
