Incumbent Mayor Terry Lynne is edging Jaime Rivas by 25 votes in Saturday’s Farmers Branch mayoral runoff, according to complete but unofficial returns.
Lynne has 2,116 votes, or 50.32%, while Rivas has 2,091 votes, or 49.7%, with all precincts reporting.
CBS News Texas has asked election officials whether the narrow margin will automatically trigger a recount.
Neither candidate cleared 50% in the May 2 general election, forcing the runoff.
Lynne led that race with 49.1% (1,797 votes), followed by Rivas at 41.5% (1,519 votes) and Rinkesh Desai at 9%.
This is the second straight mayoral contest between Lynne and Rivas. Lynne won their 2023 matchup 2,106 to 1,738.
CBS News Texas will provide updates as more information becomes available.
