HOUSTON (AP) ? The former three-term mayor of the Texas border town Eagle Pass has died of cancer.

The Yeager Barrera Mortuary in Eagle Pass said Chad Foster died Saturday in a Houston hospital. The mortuary is responsible for his funeral.

Foster was re-elected to a third term in office in May 2008. He also served as chairman of the Texas Border Coalition, a group that focuses on economic and development issues of towns along the Texas-Mexico border.

Eagle Pass' current mayor and chairman of the Texas Border Coalition Ramsey Cantu said in a statement that the region had lost a "devoted friend and public servant."

Foster is survived by a son and a daughter. The mortuary could not immediately confirm Foster's age or provide details on funeral arrangements.
