Special to El Run-Rrun
New District Clerk Laura Reyes-Perez confirmed that the box was one of several found in the office after Cornejo left. Workers found its contents when they cleaned it for the new occupant. She said that the $500 in cash had been traced to a case dismissal and was never refunded to the person who had paid the money to the county. The $500 was to pay for court cost costs, she said.
"In an effort to be transparent, we have compiled a list of the individuals named in the checks," she said.
Among the checks are some issued to child support recipients where people couldn't be tracked down, she said, adding that she is awaiting word from the county's legal department and the auditor's office to see what can be legally released.
De la Garza worked for Cameron County for more than 33 years until she retired December 2014. She was elected as district clerk for eight consecutive terms. Some of the checks date back to her tenure as far back as the 1980s.
"Commissioners court was notified because auditors and legal department had to get involved," Perez-Reyes said.
What will happen to the checks will have to be determined by the court, she said, but the practice of merely pitching them into a box in the corner of the administrative assistant's office will stop, she added.
"We have set up checks and balances and monitor monthly reports and accounts," she said. "We will address this issue, absolutely."
The discovery of the money and checks was first reported by Azteca Valle, KRGV 5-2's investigative reporter Enrique Lerma.

This may go back to Aurora but it does not justify Eric and Rick continuing the practice

Another visit from Blogsquartter Blimp. He could post this on is blog, but he knows there are actual readers here.
Poor guy. Never got a readership. Losing his last few, for sure.
Omar Lucio's and the Reynas reign were smarter hired a shredding company before January 1, 2021.
Sylvia Atkinson is probably connected with this since it has to do with money. When is that evil woman going to prison? Ya fue mucho

How did things get so bad at the office? Patrol shifts with no supervisor, investigators being sent to patrol, clerks driving unmarked police units bought with seized money, rookies in charge of patrol shifts, deputies and jailers quitting left and right, federal inmates with only one deputy at the hospital because of lack of manpower (wondering what the US Marshals have to say about this), lawsuits, restraining orders against the sheriff, administrators drinking and protecting Osiel Cardenas Jr at events, there is a no confidence letter against Abraham Rodriguez being signed by deputies..... the only credit Garza is taking is the new laptops in the patrol units and the body cameras, and even that was bought by the Lucio's administration.... it's sad

Its been several months now since I've seen a county patrol unit. WHERE ARE THEY POSTING TO BLOGS AT THE OFFICE???? Ooooooh its their new assignment ok
He's gonna need a bigger badge guey
Well, this only proves that aurora de la garza and her second and third in command didn't "DO" their job. Only proves that de la garza was just no good at her job and just rode that title and because she is good at directing certain cases to certain courts, she got voted into office. Then, you had an interim and she didn't do the job. Then eric garza gets elected and he doesn't do his job. And I'm talking about being an administrator! Oh, you have to know that richard cornejo was manning the box or checks, money orders and cash knowing full well that someone out there was not getting credited for any court issues OR much less getting the money they deserved! Worst part, going back to that one check in the 80's, everyone in that office knew about the box. Especially the elected official and or head administrator, period! They all failed to do their job that us taxpayers supposedly were counting on when we voted for them? As far as this taxpayer is concerned, richard cornejo should be terminated and the CCDA should open an investigation into what appears to be criminal negligence? Whose not to say that someone who entrusted that office with ensuring that their check, money order would take care of any court issues? Impeach eric garza!
