Fulshear Police Chief will stay on administrative leave while the city council meets on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, to consider his continued employment. The council’s agenda follows the completion of an independent review of the chief’s conduct, which was conducted by an external panel appointed by the city.
The independent review panel concluded its assessment earlier this week. While the specific findings of the review have not been released, the panel’s report has been submitted to the city council for consideration. The review was initiated after the chief was placed on leave amid concerns about his conduct, and it was intended to provide an objective evaluation of his performance and any related issues.
Fulshear, a rapidly expanding suburb of Houston, had placed its police chief on administrative leave while the external review was underway. The city’s approach reflects a standard procedure for handling allegations or concerns involving senior law‑enforcement officials, allowing an impartial assessment before any employment decision is made.
On Tuesday, council members will convene to discuss the report and determine whether the chief should be reinstated, terminated, or subject to further action. The council’s decision will be based on the panel’s findings and any additional information presented during the meeting. No vote or outcome has been announced at this time.
The council’s upcoming action underscores the city’s reliance on independent oversight when evaluating senior officials. By awaiting the panel’s conclusions before making a final employment determination, Fulshear officials aim to ensure that any decision is grounded in the documented findings of the review.
The situation remains in flux as residents and city employees watch for the council’s decision on the chief’s employment status, which will shape the leadership of the Fulshear Police Department moving forward.
