How do Mayor Darry Humphrey's charges affect residents in Kendleton?The mayor of Kendleton is stepping down as part of an agreement with the Fort Bend County District Attorney's Office.

He will pay $5,000 in restitution to the RV park owner.
Humphrey cannot run for mayor during the current mayoral term but can run again in the future. The RV owner says he will pursue charges in civil court. "Justice has definitely not been served.
