This Monday morning Maverick County Commissioner for Precinct 4, Cesar Flores made his official resignation effective this March 15.
Flores had anticipated earlier this year that he would step down to focus on his pending case in federal court in Del Rio, Texas where he is accused of receiving bribes from contractors.
The County Treasurer, Roberto Ruiz, said he received the letter of resignation, and mentioned that this topic need not be discussed in Commissioners Court, simply because Flores is voluntarily leaving office.
Cesar Flores spent almost 15 years in the post of Commissioner for Precinct 4 Maverick County.
Now it will be up to County Judge David Saucedo to appoint a person to replace him.
Flores is also an employee of the Eagle Pass School District but is currently suspended.
The name of the new commissioner could be announced as soon as this week or next.
