Ex-mayor gives Poteet a strawberry eye


What an embarrassment to the town of Poteet.

But boy do they have great strawberries there.


Ex-Poteet mayor turns himself in

By Vianna Davila - Express-News

Lino Donato, the former mayor of Poteet facing trial on a charge of sexual relations with a child, turned himself over to the Atascosa County Sheriff's Department after authorities issued a motion to revoke his probation on a previous conviction.

Donato gave himself up to the Sheriff's Department on Monday afternoon, shortly after three warrants were issued for his arrest, Chief Deputy David Soward said. The warrants were issued after Donato allegedly violated the terms of his probation.

He was released after posting $300,000 bail Tuesday morning, Soward said.
