San Antonio Mayor Henry G. Cisneros defeated five challengers to win a third term. With 99% of the precincts reporting, Cisneros, the first Latino mayor in San Antonio, had 73% of the vote. Cisneros, 37, gained national attention last year when he was being considered as a possible Democratic vice presidential candidate. San Antonio voters also approved a $100-million public works bond issue that would raise property taxes 14%. In Dallas, Mayor Starke A. Taylor narrowly won a second term, and in Austin, Mayor Ron Mullen was locked in a tight race.
