Make that 15 counts that former City of Brownsville Fire Department Chief and current Brownsville Independent School District trustee Carlos Elizondo is facing after a Cameron County grand jury indicted him with 11 felony counts of computer security breach.The grand jury indictment was issued June 27 and charges Elizondo with accessing the Emergency Reporting System for the Brownsville Fire Department without the consent of the City of Brownsville on 11 occasions starting on Oct. 11 and ending on Nov. 23.
The indictment alleges that the city suspended Elizondo from the fire department on Oct. 9 and told him not the access the Emergency Reporting System.
A grand jury indicted Elizondo last October on one count of theft by a public servant and one count of misapplication of fiduciary property based off a complaint filed against Elizondo last August by the Brownsville Fire Fighters Association.In May, after a court hearing in that case, authorities arrested Elizondo outside of his attorney’s office on two misdemeanor charges of computer security breach, alleging Elizondo accessed the Emergency Reporting System on Nov. 20, 2017, and Nov. 23, 2017.
Elizondo is charged in the new indictment on accusations he accessed the reporting system on those days as well as on Nov. 19, Nov. 15, Nov. 14, Nov. 13, Nov. 11, Nov. 10, Nov. 9, Oct. 29 and Oct. 11.
The June 27 indictment doesn’t include any details of the nature of what Elizondo is accused of accessing in the reporting system.
This is the fourth time the former fire chief has been indicted. The original indictment from last October was dismissed after Elizondo was re-indicted for the same charges in two different indictments as opposed to a single indictment.
The misdemeanor charges are contained in a complaint rather than an indictment.
The former fire chief is accused of making improper ATM cash withdrawals totaling $8,000 from the association’s political action committee while he was its president from January 2014 to 2016. He was the fire chief at that time.
Elizondo has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges levied against him.
Meanwhile, BISD sources say that BISD Superintendent Esperanza Zendejas is holding out for two years pay (more than a $600,000 contract buyout) in return fro leaving her position, perhaps to serve as a consultant to a new interim super before finally leaving the district. The BSD has been rife with rumors about Zendejas' departure.
Other rumors we have not been able to confirm is that BISD board president Cesar Lopez will resign his post pending a final decision on resigning from the board altogether. Lopez, an employee of the TASB BuyBoard, was said to have been associated with the principals in the spoiled barbacoa scandal that resulted in the suicide-death of BISD food and Nutrition Service Department Director Silverio Capsitran.
What El Rrun-Rrun has been able to confirm is that the Texas Ethics Commission has fined a PAC associated with board general counsel Baltazar Salazar for a number of election violations in the formation and expenditures and reporting of the organization's campaign activities.
The PAC's treasurer Juan Leal, who reported his address in a vacant lot on Iowa Road and later in a Ft. Worth address, was fined $1,500.
Salazar denied any involvement with the PAC, but admitted he he was the only donor to the group with some $13,500 in receipts made out in his name. His wife Maria, daughter (?) Maria E., and his sister Judy Vela were listed as the only members of the PAC.
The PAC was formed for the express purpose of defeating the reelection bid of Catalina Presas-Garcia. The PAC paid for the mass mailouts against Presas-Garcia's candidacy, including erroneously identifying her as being delinquent on her property taxes.
Presas-Garcia sued the PAC in state court but the court removed wife Maria Salazar from the lawsuit befoer the TEC issued its findings. She also voluntarily self-dismissed a federal lawsuit claiming violations of her First Amendment rights by Salazar and the BISD.

Zendejas wants $600,000 as a buyout? Lol, fuck the ignorant bitch!
Elchuko.
When will he turn and sing on Charlie Cabler, then he will do a deal, all charges will be dropped. They want Charlie not him.
Library is closed, Juan. You're with Jerry in Mexico City? LOL
Wrong again. Get your facts right. Atkinson feeds you half-truths. She turns things around to favor her and her family. Erasmo Castro was told by Cowen, the majority of the board wants Zendejas out to get Dora Sauceda into the top job. Now your blog is turning the story to give impression Zendejas wants out. Atkinson, pena and Cowen want a new superintendent.
Chingado, Juan! Quien te dice todo el chisme de las cosas que pasan detras de las puertas con la mesa directive. Es la pinche Sylvia y sabe usted que ella volteia las cosas como ella quiere? Tiene various mesas que anda detras de la senora Zendejas y ella es la que esta presionado a la doctora para que se salga de su puesto. Si ella tiene un contrato mucho mas grande que ese dinero que dices tu, no es tonta pare pedir menos que lo que se le va a deber. Silvia es la mendiga que anda hablando y diciendo que la doctora quiere que le pagen ese dinero. Por que no hablas tu con la doctora y entonces puedes poner la informacion correcta. Muchos de nosotros ya sabemos lo que andan tratando de hace, pero Zendejas no se raja y ella va a complir su contrata. Como dice el pediorico, su salario que se le toca por los doz
anos que le faltan son mas de $800,000 so que pendejo va dejar que lo compren por menos. El tonto de Cowen se esta creiendo de Silvia y ella y Minerva lo andan poniendo por en frente, para que no salga la verdad que son ellas la que no quieren trabajar con ella. Muchos en el districto sabemos eso, por la Silvia es una vivora, como su Mama, porque una mujer que no esta contenta con ella mismo anda buscando como chingar a otros. Juan, has tu trabajo y investiga esto tu y no te creas de esas viejas chingonas chismosa. Como no te cuenten los que deberas pasa detras de esas Puerta del infierno en el board room. Porque no te apareses tu en una junta para que seas testigo. Mientas no lo hagas, a ti Tambien te estan hacienda pendejo con sus mentiras. Ahora, espero haber si te dejan
que publiques esto. O les tienes miedo????
Mr. Elizondo, it is quite obvious that someone is out to get you behind bars. It is only proper to ask for a change of venue since starting with the piece of crap called a blog is making sure to defame your character as much as they can. Wouldn't be surprised that the same person is giving all this information to the RrunRrun. Ask your lawyer to request a change of venue, especially when they also denied that Cornejo did no wrong by issuing the search warrant against your even when she has a ridiculous suit against the school board where you sit. There is no way you will get a fair trial here when someone keeps either making mistakes or putting aside the law in doing 'legal" moves against you. You should check the Ginnes World Book to see if anyone else has ever been indicted for the same thing so many times.
Let the whole phone conversation be brought before the public so that we all know who is involved in all this traps against you.
Only in Brownsville, TX you see an indicated Board Member sit and act so childish on every board meeting. The Elizondo fellow has a short temper and lashes out constantly if anyone dares to question stupidity. Even worse, the Elizondo board member is so tightly connected to the Superintendent. Both Elizondo and Lopez need to resign. Drain the swamp!
BISD GOES FROM WORSE TO WORST!!!
Dora Sauceda what! She should finish out her career quietly she's lucky to even have a job after the moving shenanigans she did in Dallas.You board member's better get your heads out your asses and do what's right, Terri Alacron would make better choice.
Lol Terri Alarcon? You are nuts - she has no morals- reassigning and demoting people for political gain. Vindictive —
Go outside for a interim- but don’t get someone no one else will hire- we already did that—-try finding someone not desperate for a job or connected to board members
Bye Bye TDC is around the corner memso.
Zendejas is delusional if she thinks she is worth $600K! She puts herself first and is too willing to accept and foster corruption and kickbacks to trustees and administrators to maintain her power base. Since she looks like Julieta Garcia, I guess she wants to foster a culture of corruption at BISD, as Julieta did at UTB.
Get to know Dr. Zendejas personally and you will immediately change your hateful thoughts about her. It is a joy to speak with her and partake of the many thoughtful things that she has planned for the district and the children. What other superintendent ha been so generous with her money to share with the district's children and employees. She is a very smart lady with a lot of common sense who needs no one to tell her what she needs to do to run the district as the best it has been identified as. It is those adults within the district that are causing the problems and trying to make her look bad. But those of us who know her well, will continue to support her and her endeavors because we want what is best for BISD - not chisme!!!!
She is not asking for any money except that which is in her contract that will expire in 2020.
Put your name down July 5, 2018 at 3:24 PM
Easy money BITCH !
Get to know Dr. Zendejas personally and you will immediately KNOW she is A easy CORRUPT BITCH.
Juan please post sources for your reports.
No, they pay him not to put their stuff in. 10:51 have you ever even spoken to Dr. Z or even know her. I agree with 3:24 because I have made an effort to check out things for myself and not depend on chisme. Why don't you list what she has done that corrupt and quit blaming her for the ring fiasco that fell on the shoulders of the principal and coach at that time. What happened to them? She came in and fixed the situation with the ring company and unless that is absolutely corrupt, than shut your mouth.
Start with yourself, I see you put yourself as anonymous.
I've talk to her, she does not like to here the truth.
We are not stupid !!
Why was the administrator of purchasing move to food service ?
Why do we have administrators put in departments they have no knowledge or experience ?
BISD GOES FROM WORSE TO WORST!!!
DR. E.Z. is a overpaid superintendent puppet.
JERRY MARTINEZ FROM MAINTENCE NEEDS TO GO !
He's not worth a fuck period.
Always asking for kickbacks from vendors.
WOULD BISD DARE ELECT ELIZONDO AS BOARD PRESIDENT!?!
What a role model !!
Elizondo would probably win, he can run the BISD from prison. I'll even throw in my vote for him just for a good laugh.
Would you rather see Atkinson as board president. It would then turn to
Atkinson School District, a dictatorship according to what they want. Or Minerva Pena again who doesn't shut her mouth up, or Coach Joe who has given all he was intended to give, Cesar who is said to be resigning, or Laura who still needs some more hands on experience. Where can we go from here? If something does happen to Elizondo, will there be an appointment to his seat, and guess who is going to push their candidate? If something does happen before the next election in Nov. can some go for his place? He is up for reelection, right? Bring me up to par with that, please. Who will be running towards or running away from BISD?
