Special to El Rrun-Rrun
"This letter is to inform Eric Garza, and his campaign affiliates, to cease and desist from
disseminating false and/or misleading information against John Chambers," begins a demand letter sent today from attorneys for Cameron County Sheriff candidate John Chambers.
Garza and Chambers are contending for Cameron County Sheriff in then Nov. 3 general election and Chambers is charging that the attack strategies that Garza and his "affiliates" used successfully against incumbent Omar Lucio are now being turned against his GOP opponent."Notably (they are), misleading or lying to the public about the facts surrounding Mr. Chambers’ criminal litigation," the letter states and ask Garza that they be "removed from any existing campaign advertising, and the campaign should refrain from further statements intended to mislead the public for political gain."
In the letter, Chambers counters the Garza campaign's allegations concerning Chambers' litigation:
"On June 26, 2019, the Court of Criminal Appeals (highest court in Texas) vacated the felony
convictions. They ruled Mr. Chambers’ actions did not constitute a felony offense. There is no
dispute that Mr. Chambers has not committed a felony."
They respond that the factual conclusions state otherwise.
1. The jury’s verdict has been vacated as to the felony offenses.
2. Mr. Chambers has not been convicted of any felony offense.
3. The Court of Criminal Appeals ruled his conduct was not a felony.
4. Mr. Chambers has not been finally convicted of any misdemeanor offense.
Garza's campaign John Chambers’ Texas Commission On Law Enforcement (TCOLE) Licensing
"On February 8, 2016, the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement revoked Mr. Chambers’
TCOLE license...
The letter states: "The Court of Criminal Appeals reversed Mr. Chambers’ felony convictions on June 26, 2019."
Factual Conclusion
The lawyers then go on to specify what they claim are false and misleading statements and advertising including Facebook postings published on September 3, 2020 at 7:58 p.m., September 3, 2020 at 7:58 p.m., September 10, 2020, and Garza's statement to the Brownsville Herald on August 13, 2020:
In the first one, they claim Chambers "was granted a continuance of his case after the November General Election. He’s running from the truth.”
Not true, say Chambers' lawyer, "Mr. Chambers is still awaiting a ruling from the Court of Criminal Appeals on his petition for discretionary review (on misdemeanors). The district court cannot legally move forward with any proceedings until the Court of Criminal Appeals makes a decision...Mr. Chambers is barred from moving forward with sentencing at this time."
2. The second Facebook Post from September 3, 2020 at 7:58 p.m.
“Mr. Chambers should not be hiding from the truth, according to TCOLE he is statutorily
ineligible to hold a peace officer’s license.”
"This statement is both false and misleading," Chambers responded. "The Court of Criminal Appeals vacated the felony convictions on June 26, 2019. Since that time, Mr. Chambers has been statutorily eligible for reinstatement...The facts of the litigation and TCOLE’s procedures do not support that
assertion."
3. Facebook Post from September 10, 2020
The post quotes the Cameron County District Attorney, Luis Saenz (original quote April 13, 2020):
“The Court of Appeals has sent the case back to the trial court for a new punishment hearing.”
"This statement infers that Mr. Chambers is under the jurisdiction of the district court awaiting
sentencing. He is not. Mr. Chambers is still on appeal before the Court of Criminal Appeals. The
continued assertion that Mr. Chambers has exhausted his appellate rights and is awaiting
sentencing is both false and misleading."
4. Eric Garza Statement to the Brownsville Herald on August 13, 2020:
“Mr. Chambers was subsequently convicted on these felony charges.”
Chambers responded: "This statement is false and misleading. On June 26, 2019, the felony convictions were vacated by the Court of Criminal Appeals. Since that date, there is no dispute that Mr. Chambers did not commit a felony offense."
"That statement is outright false," the letter continues. "It should be retracted. The dishonesty implicit in this statement should require a public apology to the citizens of Cameron County. Eric Garza was likely aware of the appellate courts’ ruling a year earlier. Yet, he still chose to mislead the public for political gain."
"We ask that the Eric Garza for Sheriff campaign cease and desist from any further communication that is misleading and/or false and remove any current campaign advertising that is not supported by the factual record. Further, the campaign should release a statement to clarify the falsities which have likely poisoned the electorate."

juan hey its cameron county all is allowed like in love and war, if you run for a political office here or anywhere and have stuff in the closet like skeletons or otherwise, everything comes out in the wash. lol so mr. chambers aganta la vara or quit running.
Juan, ha muerto El Paya Jerry? No hay pedo en su blog de ese vato mentiroso!!!!
juan so i guess the question for mr chambers is; are you a licensed peace officer yes or no, the voters of cameron county should be told the truth.
Soon, Eric is going to be posting shit from federal custody, he is about to be put in jail by the FBI...
I see that John Chamber's final appeal to the Court of Criminal Appeals was refused. That means he is convicted on 14 counts of Tampering with a Government Document Class "A." It would appear this cease and desist letter was was drafted with the HOPE the Court of Criminal Appeals would grant Chamber's appeal and reverse his convictions, but that failed. Here's the link to the Court of Criminal Appeals: http://www.search.txcourts.gov/Case.aspx?cn=PD-0451-20&coa=coscca
Why do you talk about these two guys? There is another gentleman running as an independent, Based on his background, HE is the best qualified. He has something big against him, he is Anglo. I am a Hispanic woman, I will be voting for that man. I know he will not win, but he is the best qualified.
Chambers has no true Republican values (if there are Republicans left with values), Lucio is a poor loser, and Garza has a lot of mouth, too young and with not enough experience. Who knows, maybe he will do a good job, but in qualifications, the INDEPENDENT candidate has the highest. NO, I DONT KNOW him, NO, I am NOT hi (I am not a male), but too much chisme y mitote between men. (the ones in political parties), the future of our Valley and our country is in independent voting. NOT committed to party, committed to citizens.
Eric and his fake ass badge
My son has the same badge that Garza is wearing.... poor guy. I guess his cartel friends bought it for him.
Chambers well maybe next time.....
Vote for the Independent he is the best qualified candidate out there... John Fuller!
Orca. Dejate de mamadas.
Alot of butt hurt Lucio people here. Ahora si que John Chambers y que esto que lo otro. Why you crying.
Eric wants to be cherriff.... but when he lets down his hair and puts away his water gun and deputy-dog badge.... he becomes Erica... queen of the dance floor!
How is a candidate going to win if he doesn't lie about the opponent? Lies are the backbone of Cameron County politics.
We need better choices for Sheriff one guy I don't think has ever put cuffs on someone and the other has big stains on his law enforcement career.
Garza's only experience with handcuffs is when he plays cops with Robert Gracia.
Tan hombre ke se miraba el Eric
Ahora anda de marica sacando trapos viejos
En fin democRATA!
The evidence against Trump is overwhelming and beyond any shadow of doubt. He is incompetent, sick and dangerous.
When, just when, will we take him out of office? A provocative question with many implications, sure. But there are ways, and we should demand that they be taken now.
A whistle-blower testified that military police considered using heat rays and sound cannons on D.C. protesters in June.
Here they use chicken plates with aroz y firjoles works all the time.
Lets see 3 District Clerk employees, who dont make that much money, along with one County Clerk employee gave thousands of dollars to the Garza campaign. I cant afford to come up with $3000 out of my paycheck can you, but if you work for the county you can? Hey what happened to the Chief of Police at Palm Valley who did what Garza said Chambers did? Oh how about that story back when Garza was District Clerk concerning the investigation into his office? Does anybody look at campaign finance reports these people have to file? Does anybody look at the business dealings of the people who give them the big bucks? Does anybody have any common sense anymore?
A police officer in Salt Lake City, Utah, has been charged with aggravated assault after video showed him ordering a K-9 to attack a Black man in his own yard.
Tear gas, Rubber bullets and other kinetic weapons,
Pepper spray Stun grenades, or flash-bangs Taser and now attack dogs.
WHAT'S NEXT?????
@807
We can take him out in November. Hes going down. He will never take Cameron county. We have voted (D) since day one. This will not change!. I love the results
@ 7:11 am It seems like people are forgetting about all the shady dealings that Garza has done will working at County. County employees don't make that much money much less a clerk! After they implemented the new pay scale it. He is associated to the Adolios people and we know that that is a drug front. What about his all expense paid trip to Cancun. Who paid for that...Hmmmm the cartel. What about his so called girlfriend...where is she??? she's no where in sight. Why??? because that's a fake relationship. The dude if elected to office better fix the jail.. Because he will be bunking very soon. This guy if elected will not be running the office. He will only be the face of department. Why doesn't he share how many HOURS he has worked as a reserve towards maintaining his Peace Officer License? The only time he used those handcuffs were probably at the academy.
What has Cameron County turned into? We will continue to be the laughing stalk. We can't advance with people like this !!
Who's Robert Garcia?
THE ONLY REASON WHY SUCIO (LUCIO) HAS ENDORCED CHAMBERS...WELL BELEIVE OR NOT IS TO KEEP HIS LOSSSSSSSERS PROVIDERS THE REYNA BROTHERS EMPLOYED!!!! THAT'S IT...CAN'T TELL ME THAT THE SO WAS NOT INVOLVED IN SOME WAY WITH THE CHARGES ON CHAMBERS!!! I THINK CHAMBERS IS FORGIVING THEM SUCIO AND THE REYNS BROTHER JUST FOR THE VOTES!!!! AS FAR AS I CAN SEE...CHAMBERS IS GOING TO HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING THOSE CHARGES EXPUNGED...THE CHARGES JUST DON'T DISAPPEAR NOW??? THE HIGHEST COURT (CCA) REFUSED TO HEAR THE CASE AGAIN AND IS NOW BACK IN THE TRIAL COURT FOR PUNISHMENT NOT FOR A NEW TRIAL???? IT SOUNDS THAT THE WHOLE ARGUMENT IS NOW THE SENTENCING PHASE (PUNISHMENT)???? A CRIMINAL CONVICTION IS A CRIMINAL CONVICTION...A CRIMINAL PUNISHMENT IS A CRIMINAL PUNISHMENT!!!! YOU CAN EXPUNGE A CHARGE NOT A PUNISHMENT BUT A PUNISHMENT CAN BE EXPUNGED WITH THE CHARGE IF THE JURY/COURTS FIND YOU NOT GUILTY OF THE CHARGES????? SOUND LIKE ATTORNEY SALAZAR'S CASE AT THE BISD SCHOOLS BROAD!!!! NOT SURE HOW WELL CHAMBERS IS GOING TO WIN THIS ONE...HIS HAS PRETTY MUCH EXHAUSTED HIS REMEDIES????? CRIMINAL CHARGES ARE PUBLIC RECORDS AND AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC AND IT SOUNDS THAT THESE CHARGES ARE STILL PUBLIC INFORMATION!!!! SO IF THESE CHARGES HOLD...HIS PEACE OFFICER'S LICENSE IS PRETTY MUCH ON HOLD/SUSPENDED AND MAYBE LATER REVOKED PENDING REVEW BY TCOLE????? I MAY BE LOOKING AT THE OTHER CANDICATE JOHN FULLER NOW...BOTH OF THESE OTHER GUYS GOT ALOOT OF BAGGAGE!!!!!
Eric promised the Chief Deputy position to Robert Gracia, a crook customs agent who was forced to retire after an internal investigation. He was caught giving information to the guadalajara cartel... Then Eric promised the same position to Luis Mendieta in exchange of information from the Sheriff's Dept.. Mendieta worked as supervisor for Conrado Cantu, and was a detective in the harlingen office under Lucio's administration, he resigned after an angry husband called saying he was fkn his wife during Mendieta's lunch hour. Eric made so many promises that if he wins, Cameron County is about to see the "change" he promised....
At the end Eric will be Your Sheriff..
Les guste o no les guste.!
Bolla de llorones..
Animo!!
Se acabaron Los Freebis..
Law n Order On its way.
Eric is fake
Fuera con los Reyna y su bola de ratas
Unlike private individuals, Not sure cease and desist letters between campaigns is upheld by courts, if that were the case Biden and trump could do this and stop each other’s claims against the other. This is more saber rattling imho.
2:35 His appeal to dismiss a MISDEMEANOR was refused. Don’t try to mislead people asshole
The frustrated Reyna Brothers and kiss-assers continue to try the dirty tricks from the office to campaigning using false strategies. They always failed to provide a truthfull list of contributors. All hard working employees are relieved of the results of the election.
My family and myself are voting for Chambers.
This kid is nothing more than a Tool.
Vote para alguien que no es chota mentiroso . Igualmente oye pensativo . Si alguien trabaja con cartel deben de tener feria . Fíjate quién trai lo imposible y quién está pagando a ellos . Dinero habla. Desculpa me puedes ayudar consiguier papeles de mentiras . I vote para usted.
How do you know the Reyna brothers will, beyond doubt, be terminated upon a new sheriff installed? Are you 100% sure? They Must have some useful information for the incoming sheriff to terminate them, don’t you think?
Eric's campaign was used as a money laundering for the Adolio's people. Who then paid and a exclusive trip to Cancun. Where's Eric's fake girlfriend...no where to be found. Do you suppose this Erica is a closest guy? Why is he so close to Jonathan Gracia's father? Do you think Eric and Jonathan are a behind the doors lovers? Makes you think...hmm??
This guy is already doing shady dealings. So many promises to so many people just to get inside information. From the rejected terminated deputies. Terminated officers from other agencies. He is going to end up as a cell mate with Conrado cantu.... animo rasa.. well you have a choice come November. Crook, shady character with NO experience or a person that has a true commitment to our county and with law enforcement experience and No criminal record.
My Vote is with John Fuller!
