Did you hear about Cameron County Precinct 3 Commissioner David Garza bringing up the subject of some of his constituents on the JP courts warrant list complaining about getting a letter from the Jonathan Gracia Law Firm soliciting his business?
Garza wanted to discuss the matter with the court – and did in executive session – to determine whether it was appropriate for a sitting Justice of the Peace to send letters offering his legal services to people on the list.
Just recently, the county moved to collecting the fines owed justice of the peace courts. Estimates on what can be collected ranges from $12 million up to $30 million.
Now, these warrant lists are available to the public as well as to any law firm that want to get a hold of it. If you have ever been charged with a crime in the county, it is perfunctory that a letter offering legal services will invariable pop up in the mail.However, the fact that it is the law firm of a sitting justice of the peace doing it was what raised Garza's question.
According to some sources, the commissioners court came to the conclusion that it is probably not illegal, but might be straddling the appropriateness fence.
As former Cameron County Judge Tony Garza used to say: Sometimes the appearaance of inappropriateness is worse than the act itself.
That may be case here.
During the campaign for his election, one of his opponents (Erin Garcia) made a police report available to her favorite blogger which showed that while he was with the DA's Office, Gracia had been involved in an escapade involving a disoriented woman who wondered barefoot out on the frontage road by a hotel where they were renting a room.
At that time, the conclusion that was reached was that he was not to blame for the woman's condition, but that he could have used better judgment.
To be fair, we understand that the letter that was sent out from his office was not sent to anyone residing in his JP precinct (2-2), but only to residents who lived outside his precinct.
Was it just another lapse in judgment, as the commissioners decided? Or was he well within his right as a working attorney to drum up- business for his legal practice?
Utimately it comes down to the court of public opinion.

He is a double dipper only in Cameron County.
You beat the blimp yet again to breaking a story Juan. ....the blimp is to busy booking visits to the V.A., while you out blog him time after time....up your CULO blimp!
The gay blogging blimp is off his rocker again dudes....Juan, ya dejalo...lol!!
The round mound of ass pound printed on his blog of delusions, that he needed help...he wanted a letter from an elected lawyer, soliciting business from delinquent fines dudes. He wanted it to run a story on it. When rrun rrun beat him to it dudes...the grotesque gay blogger screams out to the world that Montoya prints lies...all lies...lol!
Montoya beat you to the story blimp...again...lol!
Gracia, it seems, showed courtesy to the woman wandering into his hotel room. I would probably have rifled through her purse for money and credit cards, then left her in the room to pay the bill as I slipped out into the darkness.

Bobby Whitman get over yourself. You're only trashing Juanito because no one gave you the letter you were asking for. If you knew Juanito had the letter and was going to write the story before you, you would have put out the story first but he beat you to it. Why can't you just elaborate on the story instead of protecting Erin Hernandez? We know Erin is going to run again and she needs a mouthpiece.
Since Melissa Zamora and Jessica Tetreu Kalifa quit leaking you inside information no one gives you any stories. Why is that? Because you can't protect your sources. You keep telling everyone who gives you inside information. Then you turn around and blackmail them by threatening to expose them if they don't do what you tell them.
Politicians you have been warned. Anyone that associates with Bobby Whitman is doomed.
It is a matter of time before the blimp unleashes his wrath on The Hernandez clan....his only "sources". Just watch...the crazed blimp will go like a wild man on them.....wonder what he is going to go after them with?
When Bobby asks for information from entities...local, state and federal....he tells them he is the publisher of a news organization....jajajaja! you are a nut babby!
No wonder Jonathan is able to make those big donations he makes to non-profits. LOL
I was told by one of Jonathan's friends that he is planning on running against Rene Oliveira. Little Jonathan thinks he has earned the right to be a State Rep. You don't even fulfill your duties as a JP Jonathan. The cops hate your ass.
I work at the courthouse. Jonathan needs to start taking care of his JP shit. He is always in other courts doing his own work. He even cancels court if he has client stuff to take care of. Worthless JP
The 13th Commandment states: "No good has ever come ofspeaking with Bobby Wightman." So sayeth the Lord.
LOL i love reading comments on this blog. The majority have nothing to do with the article, just a bunch of uneducated people bad mouthing anyone they can.
HELLO Montoya, what was Peter Sepulveda doing before he got appointed interim county judge? Just wondering?

Another worthless pice of s@it //
It sound like jealousy to me! At least he got Fucked!

The blimp says he is going to reflect. His reflection is just as grotesque as he is. He says that blogging is the biggest waste of time for him. What do you think it is for us blimp....we would rather watch ants fuck than read your garbage lies. You are an idiot blimp....reflect on that.
The blimp says he has shortness of breath....let it out gordo! Its in your belly...animal!!!
Silvia Aldape is a rat. Be careful Judge.
