The following link is for the regular monthly February 20, 2024 Kennedale City Council meeting. At approximately the 3:11:44 point Council Member Nevarez starts naming some of his political endorsements. This was during the Reports and Announcements of the agenda where council members might tell of their attendance at certain events or meeting with certain groups.

3:09:01 is the tail end of the previous council member and the start of Mr. Nevarez's report. He started by patting himself on his back for his one company, listed his endorsements, then promoted his second business, the Kennedale News.
 
This would seem to be a violation of some rules? He seemed to violate penal code section 39.02 at the very least. The public does not have access to the dais during the middle of the meeting being broadcast live and recorded on the internet.
 
Of the thousands and thousands of council members in the State of Texas it would be difficult to find an example of another council member that so blatantly violated the law. He is not deserving of being a council member.
