Brownsville Interim City Attorney Victor Flores was elected to serve on the Texas City Attorneys Association‘s board of directors during the association’s fall meeting in Houston Oct. 7.

Flores is one of only two attorneys who have been appointed to the board from the Rio Grande Valley since TCAA’s inception in 1928. Directors on the TCAA Board will attend numerous TCAA board meetings a year.  

TCAA is an affiliate of the Texas Municipal League which promotes, encourages and advances the professional development of municipal attorneys throughout the State of Texas. The organization represents 98 percent of the Texas urban population through more than 1,000 member cities. 

TCAA currently has a membership of more than 500 attorneys. It provides various services such as continuing legal education, municipal certification, awards for outstanding municipal lawyers and more. 

“Victor Flores’ longtime contributions to the study and practice of law at a municipal level, as well as this recent appointment to the TCAA Board of Directors reiterates his  dedication to our organization’s vision and long-term goals,” said Brownsville City Manager Noel Bernal. “Being one of two attorneys from the Rio Grande Valley, since the  association was founded, speaks volumes about Mr. Flores’ commitment to public service, his profession and the City of Brownsville.” 

“It’s a great honor and privilege to represent the City  of Brownsville amongst many other incredible cities,” said Flores. “I hope to share, with my fellow colleagues across Texas, all of the amazing things that are happening in our local community, from cutting edge technologies to aerospace developments.”
