GARZA
It is with great pleasure that I am announcing my candidacy for Justice of the Peace for Pct. 1. I am both humbled and surprised by the amount of support I have received from constituents, especially those that requested for me to represent them in this
position, and in the judicial making process. Since all criminal cases start with a Justice of the Peace, it is imperative that Starr County improve the level of experience and the abilities of those serving in this position, so we are at
par with surrounding counties including Hidalgo County and the rest of the state of Texas. This improvement is vital for Starr County to be recognized as leaders in the judicial process and a better competent judicial system will help boost economic development in the county. The role of Justice of the Peace in a criminal case is crucial because they are responsible for all initial magistrate where the accused are read their rights and set a reasonable bond for those accused. However, their role in civil matters are equally important as they hear common cases involving disputes of less than $10,000, eviction cases, issue search warrants and many other legal functions. With my 33 years of experience as a Lawyer and four of those as Judge of the County Court at Law and with knowledge of the law I
can assure you unequivocally that all my decisions will be fair and impartial. Thanks to all for you continuous and unwavering support. I ask for your Vote in March 2018!
JUSTICE FOR ALL!
