During #MentalHealth Awareness Month, I visited the Peace Room at @SAISD to learn how they are helping students manage stress & get support when they need it. 🙇🏻♂️
@BexarCounty supported this work through a $200k grant to help expand this programming across the district. 🏫 🧠 💆🏻♀️
Amazing weekend celebrating our baby girl’s graduation from @UTAustin ! Nothing sweeter than seeing your kids chase down their dreams. We’re so proud of all of them. This was Liv’s moment to shine. And she was 🔥🔥!!! Hook ‘em! 🤘🏼
Setbacks. Adversity. Pitfalls. All part of the process. No one is handed anything.
Stand up. Dust off. Saddle up.
It’s a series. Best of 7. LFG!!

Come along with us and see what a day in Commissioners Court looks like here in Bexar County!
Quick Fun Fact:
🏛️ Bexar County CC oversees the budget for our criminal justice system, civil courts, public health, elections and basic infrastructure such as flood control.
Let me walk you through what happened one hour before Trump announced the five day moratorium on Iran strikes.
$1.5 billion in notional S&P E-mini futures contracts. Four to six times normal activity.
One hour before the announcement.
Simultaneously, $192 million in crude oil futures purchased at the same time.
They made between $300 and $400 million dollars off those trades.
Trump claimed he spoke to an Iranian official to negotiate the moratorium.
The Iranians said that person doesn't exist and the conversation never happened.
This is not the first time.
It has happened multiple times. He says something. The trade goes on. He says another thing. The market moves.
But whatever you call it — they are laughing at you and they are laughing at me while they do it.
Hunter Biden sold a painting and Washington lost its mind.
These people are making hundreds upon hundreds of millions of dollars trading on information that only exists inside the most powerful office in the world.
I think we are dramatically underreporting how much money is actually being made here.
This isn't politics anymore.
This is a financial operation running out of the White House.
🏋🏾🏃🏽♀️Great day at Martin ES in @NISD for Bruce Hendin Health & Fitness Day, recognizing his service and commitment to a healthy, fit community.
TY to Martin ES’s staff, students, and the Hendin family for carrying on his legacy.

This week, members from Bexar County joined @CommishJRod to tour several @HCSOTexas & @TheHarrisCTR facilities, including the Diversion Center—where individuals with a #mentalhealth nexus can be redirected from the criminal justice system toward care & services. @HCSO_CIB
We spent some time this week visiting Harris Co Diversion Center. Lots to learn from each other on admin of justice. We shouldn’t be filling our jail with low level offenders suffering from mental health disorders. There is a better path forward to get them help & on right track.
Proud to celebrate innovative, resilient and supportive housing in Precinct 2. Bexar County has invested $4.5M to stabilize the Hudson Apartments and fund the Hudson Service Center, bringing on-site services such as childcare, job training and wellness. #housing

A quick and well-deserved #mardigras shoutout to my friend, New Orleans Mayor @HelenaMorenoLA who is doing the work in the Crescent City. We met over a decade ago while serving in our respective state legislatures. First Latina elected to lead #NOLA! 📈👏🏼⚜️🎊 #fattuesday
Celebrated Valentine’s Day a little early by sharing flowers, smiles, and conversation with the amazing seniors at West End and Doris Griffin Senior Centers.
Lots of love 🫶🏻 to the Precinct 2 community!💐💌
Big thanks to @gonzabafoundat1 & @mowsatx for continuing to look out for those most vulnerable in our community💙🤝🏼
And a special dose of gratitude to the many volunteers who helped deliver heaters to 200+ seniors across Bexar County this morning.
