I find it difficult to believe that Democratic Party Chairman Gilbert Hinojosa contends that political party affiliation is not a factor in the ongoing corruption investigation resulting from the plea agreement with former 404th District Judge Abel C. Limas.
Let's see.
Limas was a Democrat.
Jim Solis a Democrat, from 1993 through 2006 and represented District 38, in Harlingen.
Former Cameron County Judge Gilberto Hinojosa, an attorney and head of the Cameron County Democratic Party, was one of four attorneys favored by Limas for ad litem appointments.
Former Cameron County Court-at-Law No. 3 Judge Daniel T. Robles resigned from office in February 2009, saying that he planned to join Solis’ practice in Harlingen. Will his name be up next time an indictment comes down from the feds?
Let's rewind.
Brownsville Herald. April 23, 2000
Cameron County Judge Gilberto Hinojosa together with his partner Juan Magallanes have received the most in ad-litem fees, records show. Combined, they have pulled in $126,000 in six appointments alone. An additional $55,000 was pulled in by Magallanes but with State Rep. Rene Oliveira, district clerk public records reflect. Judge Ben Euresti approved most of the fees awarded to this group. Oliveira received an additional $40,000 from two appointments made by Euresti and former Judge Darrell Hester. Ernesto Gamez has received the next-highest amount of ad-litem money. Gamez frequently contributes to political campaigns, and along with Magallanes and others guaranteed a loan for Limas in his bid for the 404th.
Gamez has received $64,250 in nine appointments but the amount is greater, records also reflect.
Oliveira, by the way, was also quoted in the newspaper expressing dismay over the Limas case. Was he expressing dismay over the fact that Limas is looking at nearly a quarter century of prison time? Or is he expressing dismay that the gravy train has stopped?
Now, Gilbert, how many of those named on this post are Republican?

Gilberto Hinojosa is at the heart of the corruption in the Democratic Party of Cameron County. The Democratic Party is to corruption in Cameron County as local doctors are to corruption in the medicare and medicaid systems. Corruption abounds...so we have lawyers loyal to the Democratic Party and their corruption, in order the make a living...off of ad litems, guardianships, probate appointments and judicial favors. Gilberto Hinojosa is at the heart and soul of this corruption of the Hispanic community. Behind that bushy moustache is a forked tongue devil...who serves no one but himself.
Texas Democrats must really be ashamed of Cameron County Democrats, while Republicans just love the indictments of so many Democrats here.
...those who stand for nothing will fall for anything ....
...poster in US Customs/Immigration office at the Gateway Bridge ....
...evil, did it start in The Garden?
But before getting into its origins, stop electing judges in Texas; appointments would be better, as long as foxes weren't on the panel!
Tony Martinez says Gilbert Hinojosa and Abe Limas were my friends. I am a new man.
