Did you hear what happened during the Friday meeting of the Cameron County Bail Bond Board meeting?
Yesterday was the day officers were elected by the 12-member board. Of those, 404th District Judge Elia Cornejo Lopez was absent and attorney Myles Garza abstained citing a possible conflict because he was unsure if his term had expired.
Cameron County Clerk Sylvia Garza-Perez, who enjoys the support of some of the most prominent bail bondsmen in the county, chaired the meeting, apparently expecting Cameron County Judge Eddie Treviño, also a board member, to nominate her for another term and have his support carry the day for her.As the group considered nominations, Laura Perez-Reyes, sitting in for Cameron County Court-at-Law # 3 Judge David Gonzalez, nominated Cameron County Treasurer David Betancourt and Brownsville Municipal Judge Bobby Lerma seconded the motion.
President Garza-Perez asked if there were any more nominations to silence. She asked again and turned in Terviño's direction wondering what was keeping him from nominating her. Again, silence. She asked a third time and Eddie got the message and said he nominated Garza-Perez to remain as president.
However, when Garza-Perez asked who would second the judge's motion, no one spoke up. She asked again, and again no one made a second.
Exasperated, she laughed nervously and said she would second the motion to nominate herself to remain president and called for the vote.
In an earlier similar vote the last time officers were elected, she said that this time there would be secret ballots cast to avoid controversy. The members – minus Elia and Myles – voted.
The result? Of the 10 members present, eight voted for Betancourt for president and two – Treviño and herself – vote to keep Garza-Perez as chair.
Then, when Betancourt, now chairing the meeting, asked for nominations for vice president, no one nominated anyone. Things remained awkward for a while until Betancourt said he would nominate Garza-Perez and asked for a vote of acclamation.
Garza-Perez had defeated David's sister Lali in the election for county clerk in the past Democratic Party primary, so the fact that she was replaced by her challenger's brother had to be a bitter irony.
And so the county clerk, who entered the meeting as president and expected to emerge as the chair of the board, emerged as a charity vice. It was not a good Friday for her, just as it was not a good Friday for her counterpart Superintendent Esperanza Zendejas at the Brownsville Independent School District. District

So what? What are you trying to say, Juan?
Transparency checks and balance the citizens need to know - idiota at 11:52am.
Thanks Juan for valuable info
I had the pleasure of dealing with Mrs. Sylvia Garza-Perez and from all the elected officials in CC that I had to deal with, she is the most accessible, understanding, supportive, straight forward and clear. I don't understand what the big deal is?
Too funny ... Last year when Sylvia was elected President of the bail bond over "Little" David and then went on to beat Lali it was a non story , but I guess this was a "BIG" victory for The BETANCOURT Dynasty .
Sylvia Garza Perez - 8,467 56.5%
Lali Betancourt - 6,500 43.5%
That is one crazy unliked broad , staff members have filed complaints with HR .. they say it’s a pretty hostile environment.. walls talk and there is no amount of surgery that can make that crazy woman attractive.. her heart is black like they say todo she paga
Esperanza is nobody's counterpart! She stands on her own and not one to hide her head in a shell. Bet she comes out swinging, and I hope that she is able to expose the shenanigans being pulled by Sylvia "Trump II" That is what she is being call now that people know that she lies just like the Donald and hides behind other people. Are you ready? We will have a repeat of the Tercero episode. Where will Minerva get the money she is always so worried about not having?
Ah, the typical politics and nepotism in CC!!! Of course, bondsman love this Sylvia! She was letting them getaway with having to pay for those who absconded!
Keep paying your taxes sheep of camval county you deserve this and you pay for this WOW
David Betancourt is a professional on the local public tit. He is worthless and lives on the name, as do other Betancourt family members. They are self-servers, not public servants. Time to get rid of Elia Cornhole Lopez, Garza, the Betancourts, Tony Martinez and Esperanza Zendejas.
pay up or the brownsville mafia will get you
thats the truth the politicians and boards (bisd, pub, etc...) all want their cut
Ha ha ha the most accessible the most understanding! Really which one of Sylvia’s trolls wrote this ,,, the women is hated by her employees and elected officials want nothing to do with her
Wonder why she has lost most of her intellectual staff ,, that office has been left with clueless staff that office has gone to shits
At anonymous 2:19. Either you are Garza-Perez or you are the pimple face troll that works and hangs with her. Be real.. Sure Judge Treviño forced to side with Garza Perez. After all, and as her speech during Judge Treviño's swearing, Garza Perez won his election.. What a joke.. Turning a swearing in into her babble praising herself. Get real Garza Perez! Nobody buys your B.S.
The citizens need to declare a municipal emergency, a crisis of corruption has taken over every aspect of this city. Call in the feds, a federal take over is "now" necessary.
juan ok so little david betancourt is in right? Well i can understand, not much work over at the county treasurers dept anyway, so now perhaps and its a big maybe really, will the baild bond board collect all those old bail bonds that are outstanding or was it really just a stab at sylvia because she beat out lali betancourt la sister de david? we shall see said the blind man.
Forget about who is more worthy for the Chairman's slot. I can't figure out who is uglier: David or Silvia.
Sylvia not even the friends you think you possess like you. Reality
Sylvia Garza Perez 20%
David Betancourt 80%
