We did it, #BexarCounty. We WON this race. I couldn't have done it without every single one of you. When you all voted, you voted to protect reproductive freedom. You voted to protect restorative justice in our community. You voted to protect & keep Bexar County safe.

@LeighWaldman Thanks for your interest. Your open records request and the data cited above was limited to felony arrest cases. Our office also receives misdemeanors, cases filed without an arrest, juvenile and cite-and-release cases. Total cases received in 2022 was over 50k cases.

A huge THANK YOU to all first responders; whoever they are and wherever they work. We remember . . .

A flat tire - something most of us have dealt with - led to the murder of 56 year-old Mario Renteria. Jose Gonzales was brought to justice today for his death. We hope this brings some peace and closure to his family. #upholdingjustice

All attorneys must get continuing legal education each year. Luckily, our office has some great teachers & mentors who help all of our attorneys stay current & on the cutting edge of Texas law. Today was an #education day! #UpholdingJustice

Crystal Chandler & her team @BexarCountyFJC do an amazing job w/ kids. They hosted their annual summer day camp today-part of the summer youth violence prevention program. As always, it was a HUGE success. #UpholdingJustice #TakingCareofKids #EndingDomesticViolence @BexarCounty

Today, we have reached the end of a long and hard battle for justice as Mark Howerton has been sentenced to prison for the aggravated assault of Cayley Mandadi. We are grateful for the efforts of the trial team who ensured Howerton was held accountable.

Our culture and heritage are experiences that deserve to be celebrated as we walk through life. We all deserve an equal opportunity to better ourselves and gain upward mobility through education. Our fight to protect our children does not end here.

[Joe Gonzales @gonzales4da]

I am deeply disappointed in the Supreme Court’s decision to ban affirmative action policies, which serve to give minority college applicants a level playing field. Our children deserve equal opportunity when it comes to obtaining a higher education...

[Joe Gonzales @gonzales4da]

Now, with this recent Supreme Court decision eviscerating affirmative action, future minds from disadvantaged backgrounds will be deprived of the opportunity to realize their dreams of higher education
