Bexar County Criminal District Attorney's Office

Welcome to the Bexar County DA’s Office — the largest public-serving law firm in San Antonio. With 500+ team members, we’re in court & in the community daily — fighting for justice & serving victims. This is public service with purpose. ⚖️
 #JusticeInAction #BexarCountyDA

Grateful to everyone who made it a success! #DAChronicles #TDCAA #BexarCounty

Participants sharpened their skills in delivering clear, professional, and ethical testimony—especially in DWI cases—strengthening the work we do every day. We were proud to have First Assistant Tamara Strauch deliver opening remarks and help set the tone for an impactful course.

Our prosecutors and investigators had a great time attending the TDCAA Spring Effective Courtroom Testimony course at @SAC_PR! ⚖️

These second- and third-year students brought great energy & curiosity as they explored careers in public service & will also gain hands-on experience working alongside our Conviction Integrity Unit. We’re grateful to connect with the next generation of legal professionals.

We were excited to welcome law students from @StMarysU who chose to spend their spring break volunteering with the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office.

Congratulations to our first round of LEX recipients: 🏆 Meghan Galloway – Outstanding Prosecutor 🏆 Bruce Hallonquist – Outstanding Investigator 🏆 Rebecca Garza – Outstanding Staff Member Thank you to everyone who joined us and continues to make this office stronger every day.

We also made a little history by presenting our inaugural Legal Excellence Award — “The LEX.” This award is especially meaningful because it’s voted on by employees, for employees, recognizing colleagues who go above and beyond in their work and service.

Our first All-Staff Meeting of the quarter was a great success, bringing our team together for important updates, collaboration, and support across the office.

Our office will continue working every day to ensure justice is served and our community remains safe. ⚖️

Justice never takes a break. #DAChronicles ✅ Brayan Lopez-Esparza was sentenced to 30 years in prison for the murder of his father, Jorge Lopez. ✅ Phillip Lopez was sentenced to 45 years in prison for the murder of Olga De Anda.

I’m thankful that I, along with our First Assistant, Tamara Strauch, was able to take part in the discussion. By working together, we can continue building stronger systems that make Bexar County a safer place for everyone. ⚖️🤝

The afternoon also featured an insightful conversation led by Dr. Doug Marlowe, senior scientific consultant for the National Association of Drug Court Professionals.

We were grateful for the opportunity to attend an informative Lunch & Learn hosted by @TeriCastilloD5. The discussion offered valuable insight into the work of the Diversion Center and ways to strengthen collaboration between city and county partners.

I firmly believe that no one is above the law, including myself. If you follow the law, you have nothing to fear. Our commitment is to fairness, accountability, and justice for all. Watch my full interview with @randybeamer on @klrn's "On The Record." 🔗 Link in Bio.

The Civil Rights Divison was created with one clear purpose: to hold those positions of power accountable when the law is violated- not to target any specific profession or agency.
