James faces multiple charges after investigators said he left the scene of a crash in Waco on May 13.
James remains on paid administrative leave pending the investigation.
The written complaint is not a final finding of misconduct, city officials said during the meeting, and the city said they have not made a final employment decision.
It was said during the meeting that James will be provided the process required by law including notice of the complaint and an opportunity to respond before any final disciplinary action is taken.
Council also voted to place Detective Rob Douglas as interim police chief and Mayor James Miller as active City Administrator until further actions taken by city council.
