When Laurel Ridge was forced to reduce capacity, the need for care didn’t disappear. People in crisis still need help, and too often, they end up cycling through our ERs, our streets, and our jail.

We need to start building solutions now. That means expanding treatment capacity, bringing partners together, and moving forward with a diversion center.

The mental health crisis isn’t waiting. Neither can we.

Another death at the jail. Five deaths already this year, 90 since 2020. Last night, it was Elizabeth Anne Nero. Last week, it was CaSandra Monette Pearson. Neither were violent criminals. Both experienced mental health difficulties and were failed by systems that have been broken for decades. These tragedies are inexcusable in a modern world.

These systemic failures are far too large to be attributable to any one person or era, but now is the time for collective action. Dangerous criminals walk free while low level offenders without the proper means to advocate for themselves languish in the jail.

The Bexar County jail should not be a substitute for mental health care and addiction treatment. I'm committed to creating a diversion center, but that's only one piece of the equation. Years of painstaking work lie ahead to address these injustices, so we can't wait any longer. As your next County Judge, I will be accountable to you and make access to appropriate care a top priority of my administration.

The Bexar County Sheriff's Office said Elizabeth Anne Nero, 57, suffered a sudden medical episode and died Thursday at the jail.

Thank you to for the invitation to join this weekend’s policy town hall alongside Representative Philip Cortez, Ph. D.

It was great to hear directly from Westside residents about what matters most to them and to learn more about the work Councilwoman Castillo and Representative Cortez are doing to serve the community.

I look forward to continue working with leaders at every level of government to deliver results and keep Bexar County moving forward.

Rudy was the right leader at the right time for one of the most critical elements of this region’s security and economy: CPS Energy.

In the aftermath of a global pandemic, the Texas grid’s near-total collapse due to Winter Storm Uri, and the breakdown of the global economy due to tariff wars and supply chain disruptions, under Rudy’s leadership, CPS has emerged as one of the lowest-cost, best-prepared public utilities in the country.

He will leave a legacy of capable and compassionate leadership during incredibly challenging times.

The city-owned utility’s CEO and president has led the organization since November 2021.

Here in Bexar County, home to Military City USA, we understand the true meaning of service and sacrifice.

This Memorial Day, we honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in defense of our country and remember the families who continue to carry their legacy forward.

May we never take their sacrifice for granted. Have a safe and blessed Memorial Day.

Four years ago today, 19 children and 2 teachers were taken from us in Uvalde.

In the days that followed, San Antonio stepped up to support our neighbors—sending emergency resources and raising funds for the families affected by the tragedy, and mourned with a town grieving an unimaginable loss. Four years later, we still owe it to our children, our educators, and our communities to work toward preventing gun violence and keeping our schools safe.

We remember Uvalde today and always.
