==Government== As with the majority of home-rule cities in Texas, La Porte has a charter for a [[council-manager]] form of government. The elected council members serve as a legislative body to make policy; they hire the city manager, who is the operating officer for the city. Since 2012, the city manager has been Corby Alexander, from [[Henderson, Texas]]. Elections for city council members are held at the same time as for the school board of the city's school district. The [[United States Postal Service]] operates the La Porte Post Office at 801 West Fairmont Parkway.<ref>"[http://usps.whitepages.com/service/post_office/27864?p=1&s=TX&service_name=post_office&z=La+Porte Post Office Location - LA PORTE]."
