Now that the tax office, county clerk, the constable/bailiffs' office, the IT guys, and the three Brownsville justices of the peace have moved to the new county building on Levee Street, ID cards and passes allowing them to enter their old offices on Harrison Street have been lifted to prevent access to the old building.Bailiffs and attorneys still have access to the buildings as do personnel of the courts and jurists who preside over their courts. But no one is allowed to enter the building or access its courtrooms on weekends or after hours.
So it came as a cruel surprise when JP 2-1 Linda Salazar – Da Wedding Judge averaging 600 weddings a year at $250+ a pop – showed up last Thursday evening after the doors had closed at the Harrison Street building with a large wedding party and wanted to use the jury selection room on the first floor to perform the ceremony. Apparently, she had been doing this unbeknownst to anyone.
When courthouse security found out that she had been using her old pass to access the building after hours to perform weddings, her pass was "unceremoniously" lifted to prevent her from accessing the building without authority. She and her party were then politely turned away and shown the door.
The continued soliciting of weddings by this JP is beginning to get county elected officials to seek some sort of remedy to stop her apparent (and continued) efforts to have county staff steer weddings her way. It wasn't long ago that she was caught on tape going up one floor on the Levee building from her office on the second floor and soliciting couples to allow her to perform their wedding (for a slight fee, of course).
Before that, she had taken to placing a large sign directing people getting off the elevator there to her office.
That solicitation event took place Dec. 27 at about 11: 45 and was taped without sound because the county is prevented from recording conversations to protect people's privacy.
Is she recorded on the surveillance tape appearing at the old county building on Harrison Street after hours with her wedding party? We'll see.

Sure does sound like ABUSE OF OFFICIAL CAPACITY. PENAL CODE SEC.39.2.
Linda Salazar has been allowed to use her position demonstrate how politicians can use their position to fill her pockets. The little "squatty body" JP is unethical and she is taking advantage of those she marries. These days a person can become a minister on line and marry people for free...or for a taco lunch. She, some how makes the citizens believe she is "a good person", when in essence she is working "just for herself". And by the way, her GED son on the Board of Education is a farce....backed by his mommie, Linda Salazar.
Having your clerks as "greeters" to get weddings is abuse of official capacity. Like the other judge.
So what you are saying is, only Linda Salazar is doing weddings for a fee and taking money from someone who will do it a lot cheaper and that Mary Sorola and Jonathan Gracia are not. All three are guilty of over charging.
The law allows her to use her staff during county time without having to give any funds to the county so the law must change and no one wants to take the bull by the horn because of politics meanwhile the county loses and she pockets the money and since its cash she most likely does not claim all of it someone should report her to the IRS
Just like the other nimrod, Ersambo (El I can't win a race) Castro. Ordained as an online minister....
Cynthia, thanks for that "greeters" comment dont you just love seeing those girls out there.
Linda Salazar has to charge an arm and a leg, To pay for her. Vegas trips for her and all her Friends. Because of course she has to Pay for friendship. Otherwise she'd have no friends,including Cinthya Rodrigues

Did she marry Cesar Deleon the ratón,racist commissioner??!!!!!!!!!
Not out of the closet ( GAY) Brownsville commissioner .
These people need to conduct themselves in a manner that is a bit appropriate, their attire is horrendous, they need to keep their persona cleaned and proper, look how they dress, as representatives of the community, it should be almost in the handbook that combed hair must be a requirement and professional clothing a must. If you want to represent us, please dress the part!
You must be talking about linda, she the example of her staff and she dresses very horrendous, there is nice professional clothing for super fat people!!
The county commissioners have the power to establish some sort of rotation for the jp’s to be able to perform weddings and making it fair for all involved. Rotation and really setting rules in place so there is no way any of the jp’s cheat the system would work wonders.
But, oh Lord how would ERIKA RATERRA DE LA TORRE survive people, Commissioners would cut of the cash flow for her.Those commissioners should look at marriage Department, SYLVIA PEREZ-GARZA needs to look at those videos to view for that fake boob Bitch still cheating the system and sending those wedding to Linda.
Go back to school and learn what Abuse of official capacity mean? Its not having clerks be nice to people!Then tax office also is Abusing official capacity for having some Man help people out.
CYNTHIA RODRIGUEZ AKA "LA PLANCHA" de las nalgas y el pelo: no vale madre!! Te haces la inocente pero eres una Diabla junto con tu patrona LINDA.
