Editor’s note–Printed herein
is the charter of the City of Cameron, Texas, as adopted and approved
at an election held on January 28, 1956, and as amended at elections

pamphlet dated May 18, 1999. Apart from minor nonsubstantive changes

been retained. Obviously misspelled words have been corrected without
notation. Material enclosed in brackets has been added for clarification.
Amendments to the charter subsequent to May 1, 1999, are indicated

a history note indicates the material is unchanged from the original.

In thankful recognition of the leadership of Almighty God, we,
the people of Cameron, Texas, humbly invoking His blessings, do ordain
and establish this Charter.
