"Brazos County officials are aware of the arrest of District Clerk Gabriel Garcia. A charge against an elected official is deeply concerning, but as this is a legal matter, we cannot comment on any details at this time. The district clerk's office is fully staffed and will continue to provide professional customer service. We will provide further information as it is available."

I voted for Gabriel... Was I wrong?

Maybe.
Maybe not.

Let's see if he gets better or worse treatment from the local judicial system than what a regular citizen would get.

No, because there was no way you could know this would happen.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

I believe there is a required 24-hr hold for this charge. Did he bond out today?

Was it his daughter that showed up? Girl with same last name arrested for possession. Maybe unrelated.

i don't know either of these people in question but it would be a mistake to judge anyone before the actual truth comes out, if it ever does.

Just saying.....and don't the police have to arrest someone in a domestic dispute if 911 is called as a precautionary measure?

Cameron Reynolds, an attorney with the James, Reynolds, Spiegelhauer & Ask law firm, shared this statement with KBTX on Sunday evening:

"I have known Gabriel Garcia for over forty years. I am very proud to represent Gabriel. Gabriel is a good man, public servant, and community leader. On the night in question, Mr. Garcia was at his home in bed when an uninvited visitor who had been drinking at a local bar showed up. The visitor struck Mr. Garcia in the back of his head when he tried to escort her off of his property. The police were called and Mr. Garcia fully cooperated with their investigation. The police made the decision to arrest both Gabriel and the uninvited visitor. We fully intend to clear Mr. Garcia's good name."

On Saturday morning, police were called to Brazos County District Clerk Gabriel Garcia's home they received a call from his ex-girlfriend, Maria Ramirez.
Ramirez claimed Garcia shoved her twice during an argument that turned physical outside the home around 4 a.m., according to the report.
Garcia told police the two were at a restaurant earlier in the night and got into an argument, and he returned to his home without her.
The report says Ramirez showed up at the home, went into the house, and confronted Garcia about the issues they were having in their on-and-off relationship for the past year.
Garcia says they went outside and that's when Ramirez first struck him in the head. He told police he asked Ramirez to leave his property multiple times, and said he pushed her away in an effort to get back into his home.
Police noted both Garcia and Ramirez had physical injuries and both were arrested and taken to the Brazos County Detention Center and charged with assault causing bodily injury- family violence. Both were released later on Saturday on bonds of $5,000 each.

No, former employee he had a relationship with. His last name is pretty common.

I'm withholding judgement on this one, in light of the attorney's statement.

Of all the things for an elected to official to get arrested for, "getting in a fight with your ex-girlfriend" is perhaps the least scandalous to deal with.

They've been in and out of a relationship for a year. I assume she either has a key/entry code or knows what door he keeps unlocked.

Prediction : Both people will drop all charges and the incident will be settled out of court. With that said, this is not a good look for our county clerk.

Brazos District Clerk. They handle District Court.

Brazos County Clerk is different office.

You can pay to have your photo taken off Busted if it is your first offense.


I told my husband the other day if I ever get arrested, he pay to get that photo taken down before he tries to bond me out.

Different guy.

Bobby Gutierrez owns House of Tires.

Gabriel Garcia owns Mobil 1 Lube Express.

The real reason not to vote for him is that he messed up justiceweb, the online records system. Now there is a lawsuit over it and of course we the taxpayers get to pay for defense of his poor decision making.

I find it hard to side with a company that wants us to pay for a website for them to scrape because free "day old bread" isn't good enough.
