The 88th Texas Legislature’s session began Jan. 10 and runs through May 29.
Sakai will need to wear a boot for a few weeks as he recovers and will utilize a knee scooter to help him get around, the spokesperson said.
Sakai was sworn in as county judge on Jan. 1. He was elected to succeed Nelson Wolff, who retired after serving as Bexar County Judge for more than 20 years.
