San Antonio city negotiators and police union officials appeared close Thursday to an agreement on one of the most contentious aspects of the disciplinary process, about five months after talks began for a new contract.
Earlier this month, the two sides indicated they would likely have a compromise by Thursday regarding the appeals process for officers fired or disciplined for misconduct.

SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg for the first time has been implicated by the Texas Attorney General in an ongoing “sanctuary cities” lawsuit that accuses the city of flouting a state law that requires local governments to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.
According to a petition filed by Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office, Nirenberg instructed city staff not to contact federal authorities after 12 people believed to be immigrants without documentation were found inside a tractor-trailer in December 2017.
