(As the revelations in the Ray Marchan trial show that some attorneys paid former Judge Abel Limas for lucrative ad litem appointments in big-money cases, a discerning reader has pointed out that in an April 23, 2000 article in the local daily, Emma Perez-Treviño had looked at some of the beneficiaries of the appointments that left a pretty penny in the pockets of select attorneys, many of them well-known Democratic Party office holders and party leaders. Judges often appoint attorneys to represent the interests of minors in court cases. Former County Judge Gilbert Hinojosa has just been elected to be the state chairman of the Democratic Party after his stint as chairman for Cameron County. Rene Oliveria has just been reelected to the Texas Legislature. Eddie Treviño is the former mayor of Brownsville. Juan Magallanes is the former chairman of the Cameron County Democratic Party.)

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.
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?

Damn, it is no more than legal prostitution, Cameron County deserves what it gets, todo por las pinche politiqueras. The Ernie Hernadezes thrive on this enviroment.
"The Texas Dems didn't look hard enough at this guys record and playmates."
They didn't look at all. In fact, they resented anyone who pointed these things out about Gilbert. What meanspirited, racist hatchet job thugs we must be, to expose the truth about their precious token Hispanic nominee!
Had Texas Democrats been interested in an activity besides blowing smoke up their own asses, it would have taken all of 1/2 an hour to enter the word 'Hinojosa' on Brownsvilleherald.com search box, read tons of articles about Gilbert and Conrado Cantu, Limas, Villalobos, scandals etc...
Come on! When is Gilberto's name coming out in the trial! Maybe we have to wait for Armando's trial first.
Limas and the judges of cameron county's corruption is nothing new.
In the same article you quote, you fail to mention this little tidbit:"Limas received $74,000 in ad-litem fees from 16 appointments made mostly by Judge [Roy] Valdez."

YUCK!
I don't believe the Feds have played all of their cards yet. Some of the information they are letting out is to make others nervous. I believe others wore wires, and that there is much more to go.
wait till they connect the murder of Assistant DA Arturo Jose Iniguez with ARMANDO VILLALOBOS (Jaime Munivez) association with the villareal cartel (Jose Alfredo “Pepe” Villarreal) from matamoros. it was a favor for a favor. ANOTHER MURDERED RELEASED BY ARMANDO VILLALOBOS AND HIS ASSOCIATES. ALL DONE AT VILLALOBOS ORDERS.

If you are correct, this will be very scary!!! and I am affraid you may be correct.
"Limas received $74,000 in ad-litem fees from 16 appointments made mostly by Judge [Roy] Valdez."
as for Judge Roy Valdez he shouldn't even be no where near a judges bench not unless hes getting sentenced!!!

You can not drop a bomb like this and then fly away. What more can you share with us?
