During the citizens comments portion of the Tuesday, August 12th Uvalde City Council Meeting, R. Patrick Williams leveled harsh criticism against Uvalde Mayor Hector Luevano for calling into question the legitimacy of the Emergency Services District 3 Petition brought before the Uvalde County Commissioners Court Meeting on August 11th.
“Yesterday, Mayor Hector Luevano appeared before the Uvalde County Commissioners making a serious allegation against the Uvalde Volunteer Fire Department. He accused the department for submitting a flawed petition that, in his view, did not meet the requirements necessary to place the ESD before the voters, ” Williams said.
R. Patrick Williams is a longtime member of the Uvalde Volunteer Fire Department.
Williams claimed that Luevano stated he was speaking not as Mayor but as a citizen, pointing out Uvalde County Judge Bill Mitchell introduced Luevano as mayor.
“Furthermore, it is noteworthy that the County Commissioners remain responsible for ensuring the petition meets all necessary standards.” Williams said.

“You are mayor 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.” Williams said speaking directly to Mayor Luevano.
