## Resource

San Marcos City Council member Lorenzo Gonzalez faces felony assault charges after allegedly biting a downtown Austin security guard during a heated confrontation in September. Though booked on a $5,000 bond and released the next day, he remains on the council — since Texas law requires actual conviction for removal. The incident, which escalated from arguing to physical contact, could lead to probation rather than jail time, but the fallout has left local officials unusually silent as they navigate the legal and political implications.
