Two days after the Cameron County District Attorney' Luis V. Saenz found out its criminal nepotism case against Brownsville Independent School District Minerva Peña had been dismissed by visiting Judge Linda Yanez a month before, it has filed a notice his office will appeal the judge's order.
The appeal was filed by the Cameron County District Clerk Monday at 3:30 p.m.
Yanez signed the dismissal order on March 31 but it was only filed on Friday, April 29.
In the state's appeal, Saenz said it had 20 days after the order was filed – not from the date it was signed – for public view. The State of Texas's Notice of Appeal is due to be filed on or before May 19, 2022, the appeal reads.
District Clerk Laura Perez-Reyes said she had received word that although the judge signed it almost a month before, she had neglected to tell her court administrator to file it electronically and the order remained in her office without notice to the respective parties or their attorneys.
"It was basically an oversight of that office," Perez-Reyes said Monday. "As soon as we found out, we placed it on the file."
While still reeling from the girl's death, Peña was charged with a Class C misdemeanor for violating Section 573.041 of the Texas Government Code which states that a public official may not "appoint, confirm the appointment of or vote for the appointment of an individual to a position that is directly or indirectly compensated from public funds or fees" if that person is related to the public official.
Following her indictment, on October 2021, a majority of the board voted for a resolution that prohibited the long-time board member from entering district facilities and property as a result of her indictment on the one charge of nepotism where she is charged with voting to hire her late daughter-in-law.
The vote was 6-0-1 with Peña abstaining. It came after a 2 1/2-hour closed-door executive session.The prohibition means that Peña was banned from all BISD property and facilities except for board meetings and training.
The 12-year school board veteran has denied she had anything with the hiring of her daughter-in-law to a position at VMECHS and has told The Brownsville Herald it never happened.

Peña was never grieving for her former daughter I. Law. She referred to her as “that girl.”
Prison can be a cathartic for the lost souls. Find your way, Minnie. Be right with God, for once.
I have never agreed with (Republican) Gov. Greg Abbott’s political views, but I did have some respect for him as a governor, and I considered him qualified to be governor. But the problems are increasing, with no end in sight. Refusing to expand Medicaid. Targeting transgender Texans. Denying basic reproductive medical care. Neglecting the power grid. Leaving Child Protective Services and foster care in shambles, while pouring money into questionable border control tactics.
I am a native Texan, I love Texas, and I always will. This is my home. But Abbott’s misguided priorities embarrass me and make me fearful for the future of my state.
WASTE of TIME
Laura Perez-Reyes seems to be on sneaky individual. Pals with Minerva at BISD? Could be.

Any more stupid ideas from the racist republican lapdog texas governor?
Of course, he want to crack open all the eggs, he thinks el cartel is hiding drugs inside chicken eggs. PENDEJO!!!
What a waste of time. If there ain’t no evidence.
We have no way of knowing the level or nature of Pena's grief, but we do know DA Saenz was uncharacteristically swift in appealing this. Normally, Luis lets charges against politicos simply slide into oblivion. He must have had a burr up his butt with goofy Minerva.
Pope Francis Says NATO Started War in Ukraine by ‘Barking at Putin’s Door’
The pontiff defended Putin and claimed — without foundation — that it was “others who created the conflict” in Ukraine.
(The Pope becomes an asshole)
