(Ed.'s Note: Just hours after the Cameron County Commissioners Court named his administration building after the late Omar Lucio, his predecessor at the Cameron County Sheriff's Office whom he beat in a tight election runoff, Sheriff Eric Garza got a dressing down from County Judge Eddie Treviño on his charges that the county commission was bent on "defunding" law enforcement, a veiled reference to the nationwide Intafa movement. In a point-by-point rebuttal to the charges, Treviño issued a fact sheet debunking Garza's claims and showed that it was Garza's lack of budget management skills and shortcomings that resulted in reduced staffing at the county's jails. In the bottom photo, Garza – who has refused to address the court during open session – stands at the back of the court meeting room and listens as Treviño rebuts claims he made during a September 22 news conference.)

Cameron County Judge Eddie Treviño on Tuesday challenged comments coming from Sheriff Eric Garza about the funding of the sheriff’s office, including its deputies and jailers.
“We cannot leave misrepresentations of material fact with respect to jail staffing, budget issues, and the conduct of commissioner’s court to go without a factual and accurate response,” Treviño stated in a document provided to ValleyCentral.
At Tuesday’s news conference at the Dancy Building in Brownsville, Cameron County Judge Eddie Treviño presented a fact sheet to rebut each of Garza’s claims presented Sept. 22, when the sheriff spoke out against the judge and commissioners regarding the funding of Garza’s department for the upcoming budget year.
Last week, Garza held a news conference to push back against the county commission, arguing that the court willfully put the safety and security of the public at risk by reducing the number of deputies at the courthouse.
On Dec. 8, 2021, the 445th District Court dismissed the lawsuit against Garza as a result of a settlement agreement between both parties and not because of a final ruling in favor of either side, Treviño wrote.
The judge said Garza negotiated and agreed to the seven courthouse security positions in the December 2021 joint motion to dismiss with a prejudice court filing.
Garza said he asked Treviño to unfreeze positions that were repeatedly denied and recently discovered that the positions were eliminated entirely from the budget.
In response to this, the judge issued a revenue shortfalls and expenditure increase report to Garza stating that on behalf of the Commissioners Court, Treviño requested a comprehensive plan of action from Garza to address the issue. In response to Garza's claims that the commissioners' court was defunding his department, Treviño provided the numbers below in rebuttal showing just the opposite.
(Channel 5 reported that during the press conference, Treviño said the decision behind the hiring freeze and the elimination of 55 positions was due to budget constraints after Garza put a stop to accepting federal inmates.
"And also not to increase the taxes to the constituents of Cameron County as a result of the actions of the sheriff," Treviño Jr said. "If the sheriff had effective administrative control of his budget and had not lost the revenue generated by housing federal inmates and inmates from Hidalgo County, the commissioners court would have had additional funds to address county operations overall."
Garza was at the press conference and said the lack of pay is what's causing his jailers and other staff to leave the department. He told Channel 5 News he's still considering taking legal action against the county.)

And by some strange coincidence, even Mayra Flores, the U.S. District 34 congressional Republican candidate, chimed in to protest the "defunding," a term often used against Antifa followers she once blamed for the January 6 insurrection by her fellow followers of former president Trump.
Treviño said substantial expenditure increases due to inmate meals and ongoing employee overtime pay resulted in the jails' revenue shortfalls.
As previously reported by ValleyCentral, on Sept. 13 the commissioner’s court approved the county budget.

Garza wants to spend and give away money. Just like PUB, MAYOR OFFICE, COMMISSIONER COURT, CITY MANAGER, BIKE TRAILS, UNUSED BASEBALL PARK, ONE SPORT ONLY. DOWNTOWN SLUM BUILDINGS RAT INFESTATION.

Trevino disputes Garza: One press conference begets another
We hear that there was a dual set between the two ladies for a handkerchief duel aaaah, fight.
Prepare To Duel To The Death... With Handkerchiefs!
place, time and types of handkerchiefs to be decided at a later date.
More than likely after next county commissioners meeting.
ABC is contacting both parties to get the dual televised lived. Pay per view also is in the running, as is telemundo...
Juan its very simple, Eric Garza cannot balance his check book so pretty much can balance millions in his budget. Time for a change. let the voters decide next sheriff election. Like Forrest Gump says stupid is as stupid does. very simple. Eric has no business being the sheriff barney fife.

Eric Garza responding to Judge Trevino’s press conference alongside rookies LOL. Haven’t you noticed the only people “supporting” Garza are rookies and dick riders. Why? Because these dumbass rookies wanna free ride to cid or siu and the dick riders want a free promotion. Haven’t you noticed no senior officers support this idiot? Eric Garza is the leader of the rookies because he himself is a rookie. Eric Garza, bringing down the Commissioners Court one rookie at a time LMFAO
WERE BROKE BECUASE OF THE COMISSIONERS COURTt!!!! THEY CONTROL THE SALARIES AND HERE WE ARE FIGHTING WITH EACHOTHER. CAMERON COUNTY EMPLOYEES AT THE DANCY BULDING NEED TO WALK OUT! ALL THIS FIGHTING AT THE SO IS ONE HUGE DISTRACTION TO THE FACT THE COURT GAVE US A SHIT PAY PLAN! WAKE UP COUNTY EMPLOYEES!!!!
So because we know according to Mr. Montaya that there are 7 readers on this blog, I will assume that it is the same one or two fools making all of the anti-Trump and anti-Mayra comments with their CAPS LOCK stuck on. You look ridiculous fool. Also, it is preposterous for you to say that Mayra can’t be a Republican because she isn’t white. 🤔 wasn’t it Dictator Depends Biden that told Charlamane Tha God “if you don’t vote for me, you ain’t black” 🤔 enough with all the racism cries and stick to the issues plaguing our country. And your not only republican or democrat, I am a Libertarian. Bill Clinton “it’s the economy stupid!”
‘Afraid of losing their power’: Judge decries Republican leaders who back Trump's fake election claims

## Worst chief ever!
Chief Chapo Sauceda and the rest of the Brownsville Police Department will be holding cheerleading tryouts this weekend. As an ex-cheerleader, el chapo will also be present to take selfies with anyone willing to take a picture with him.
People have been leaving the department for a while now, is it because el chapo has things in order?
If anyone sees el chapo in public make SURE you say hi to him or he will disown you....
## Worst chief ever!
God's gift to that color judge, HIS WIFE GINNI THOMAS’S LONG-AWAITED INTERVIEW WITH JANUARY 6 COMMITTEE COULD BE CONSEQUENTIAL SENT BOTH OF THEM TO PRISON ALONG WITH TRUMPUTO AND HIS FAMILIA.
If you retards think Garza is doing all of this because he all of a sudden supports his Deputies and feels we all of sudden need a raise you guys are dumber than y’all looked at the press conference. Think about the timing of all of this. What a coincidence this is happening when it’s re-election time and Garza is supporting Carlos Cascos. The game plan is to help Cascos win so that come re-election time for Garza, Cascos will support him so his supporters will vote for Garza. Meanwhile all you dumbass Deputies think Garza is doing all of this for y’all. If he cared about the salaries, his clerks he brought in wouldn’t be making more money than Deputies.
It’s seems like the Cascos Campaign is using Eric Garza to smear the county judge. Was this all orchestrated for Cascos by Rodrigo Moreno who likes to use his position to smear candidates to help his clients. It doesn’t hurt Cascos it only hurts Eric Garza. He will not assist him in his re-election as republicans would eat him alive.
I wouldn’t have a doubt that Cascos promised more funding to Garza
Q chinguen a su madre los dos, junto con CLEAT. Departe de todos los guardias.. CLEAT is not for the jailers no more. They just take our money. They don’t do shit for us anymore just for Erik Garza and the deputies. They gave us the hills have eyes look alike muthfk bareda who can’t even spell cleat. So from all the jailers FUCK YOU BOTH and CLEAT ALV..
Why does he forced those deputies to be there behind him? Pinche joto sin huevos
It's funny how Eric Garza told the deputies that were ordered to attend the hearing to be in front of him. Leaders stand in the front and NOT in the back! Che pendejo!
Its with great sadness that I have to agree with two-timing Eddie Trevino on your mismanagement skills Eric? You talked a good game during your campaign about how bad Omar Lucio ran the department. You get elected because you were the worse of two evils at the time. You get into office and bring in the worst of the worst to be supervisors! Instead of making fixes, you fuck up the whole thing like the way Biden fucked up what President Trump did and only because "I wear the pants now attitude!
You know Eric, if you spent more time on being what you were elected for? You wouldn't be such a worthless elected official and acting like a child facing off with the short no accounting Eddie Trevino and crying foul.
Oh, about the doing your job? Put your efforts into the elected position instead of worrying about selling real estate OR taking pilot drone classes. How did that go for you? I hear you didn't even pass?
How the heck is the county broke? They received a lot of Cares Act and American Rescue Plan funds? Poor management from county leadership. While cities are experiencing budget surpluses, Cameron County is broke. Ask the difficult questions Juan!
Carlos Cascos left deputies high and dry for years and years. At least Eddie gave us a pay scale. Cascos is trash, if Eric is supporting him, he is against deputies getting better pay and treatment.
It appears that Myra was only emphasizing the fact that Democrats are for defunding the police. However, this type of radicalism does not apply with sheriff Garza. Here we are talking about a sheriff who was elected to the position without law enforcement or budget experience. That’s what happens when you vote for the party and don’t take into consideration the background experience of the candidate. As for the Sheriff changing parties no thanks he’s all yours.
Carlos Casco no gana another coco he thinks he's white and a racist republican. He passes for gringo hahahahaha pinche coco...
So who's patroling? Oh they are all taking a coffee break. The room is full of deputies and nobody said NOTHING???
NO WONDER house mouse paper pusher that's what you wanted that's what you got!
It shows how inexperienced and how easily the Deputies who went to the press conference are. And that’s a perfect example of how Garza is manipulating the new Deputies/Jailers for votes. First the rookies who showed up to the press conference went thinking they we’re gonna get answers from Trevino when had they had experience should’ve known the SO has never been defunded. But since these boys just started 1-2 years ago they have no idea. Then Garza used them to appear to be “United” when he gave his response after the press conference while the rookies just looked at the cameras like dogs with tails between their legs. And what’s worse is they’ll focus more on the posts calling then rookies and get butt hurt instead of seeing the bigger picture! Wake up and vote Garza out and vote against Cascos!!
Now is a perfect time for the county auditors to do their job. So many of the civilian positions that worked Stone Garden OT, missing unit deputies need to share. You have civilian employees driving unmarked units....turning on blue/red lights just to get by traffic...thats impersonating a police officer!!
This administration is a clown, and the Sheriff office is his circus 🎪.
What a disgrace!!!
I'm sure the cartel is using those missing units to move drugs!!
Let's get this Eric Garza out along with his minions!!!
CASCOS NO MONEY TO BUY NEW CAMPAIGN POSTER, O SE ESTA CLAVANDO LA FERIA. SO WHY THE COLOR BLUE ON HIS POSTERS? HE AIN'T A DEMOCRATE OR HE THINKS WE ARE STILL STUPID, LIKE THE SO...
What happened to the case of the two people found on 511 shot to death? No body was charged or they just let it sit there? No investigative experience what so ever or its something else????
House mouse paper pusher? We know who is posting this comment all the time. I think it might be time to "out" you. And to the comment about the 511 homicides, any time you want to come to the olmito office and deal with the bullshit we do, come over, you can have my spot.
Garza is so desperate that made Deputy Salinas with him to the press conference. Knowing that he was briefed by the DA that the two salinas' brothers are being investigate for moving drugs in the marked units by the younger brother Miguel. How can you be so fucking stupid Garza, don't you know everyone is watching?
September 29, 2022 at 7:34 PM
Isn't murder a top priority? Or paper work and bullshit? Maybe Brownsville PD should take over! Stop the threats and do your work...
HOUSE MOUSE PAPER PUSHER what you people expect an accountant? YoU got a pendejo instead A REAL PENDEJETES to say the least. OOOOOOOOP "We know who is posting this comment all the time. I think it might be time to "out" you." I FORGOT ABOUT THE PENDING THREAT. Oh well COME AND GET IT!!!!!!
HOUSE MOUSE PAPER PUSHER.
@ Former RGV LEO, I take it there will be no Eric yard sign at your house?
Mi Raza, I have been waiting for someone to write this but no one has, Trevino se la canto a Garza con todo y mariachi.
The Dude who is playing the Dude got called out with evidence of his incompetence.
He should just throw in the hat. Hopefully people will vote him out.

September 29, 2022 at 7:34 PM
Idiotas "I think it might be time to "out" you" I think you idiotas have enough problems as it is without creating more. Can't solve the ones you have right now and you want more pendejetes
Sheriff Garza sucks, me la pela and that's that I don't even have a dick. And even judge Trevino he can suck it with Garza jacks me off. Trevino living life while he steals from the poor. Poor jailers making less than a burger flipper but yet they deal with what others quit from. Fuck you both. I hope you read this shit. I'm tired of both of you all. Fake ass county with fake ass leaders.
Imagine sucking d*** for almost 2 years and not any d***... a d** from the dumbest sheriff on earth and by you doing so everyone realized what a piece of garbage you are Del Bosque, betraying people left and right and to top it off you FAILED the test again!!!! LMFAO
