AUSTIN, Texas — Bastrop Mayor Lyle Nelson has announced his immediate resignation, citing growing tensions and political controversies within the city.

Nelson explained that his decision was motivated by a desire to avoid becoming a distraction amid escalating political challenges.

In a public statement, Nelson expressed concerns about “self-serving interests” within the community, claiming that some individuals were using him as a scapegoat to divert attention from their own actions.

His resignation has shocked local officials and residents, marking a significant shift in the city’s leadership.

During his time in office, Nelson focused on community development and public welfare, implementing several initiatives aimed at improving infrastructure and attracting new businesses to Bastrop.

His leadership was seen as stabilizing, but his policies occasionally sparked criticism, particularly from those who believed certain development projects favored specific interests.

With Nelson’s resignation, the Bastrop City Council is tasked with selecting an interim mayor.

A meeting is expected soon to discuss potential candidates for the role. The selection process is anticipated to draw close attention from residents, who are eager to see how the city’s leadership will evolve.

Community leaders have called for transparency in the selection of a new mayor, emphasizing the need for a leader who can address the diverse needs of the population while balancing economic growth and community values.

City officials have assured residents that public services will continue without disruption during the leadership transition.
