The Granbury City council is meeting today to formally accept Mayor Ninnian "Nin" Hulett's resignation.
Hulett was arrested for DWI after leaving a restaurant on April 25. He was released from the Hood County jail a few hours later, but this was not Hulett's first drunk driving offense.
On Monday, the day after he was arrested, prosecutors upgraded the drunken driving charge to a felony after they determined Hulett had two prior DWI arrests: one in 1999 and another in 2007.
Hulett was first elected as mayor of Granbury in 2013 and he was re-elected in November 2019 for a three-year term. In his resignation letter, Hulett says he is "truly thankful for the opportunity to serve my city these past ten years."
The Granbury City council is expected to call for a special election to be held June 29 to fill the mayor's seat.
