La Grulla is officially starting the search for a new mayor.

The city will be holding a special city commission meeting on Wednesday, April 24, with their only two members to call for a special election. 

The new mayor would only serve until the previous mayor's term was set to end in May 2025.

The former mayor, who is a principal with La Joya Independent School District, resigned following a new policy from the school district that bans administrators from holding public office.
