EAGLE PASS - Justice of the Peace Cesar Perez' duties were suspended today by the Texas Judicial Commission in a letter sent to Maverick County Judge David Saucedo. The Judicial Commission also suspended his pay.
The basis for his suspension came as a result of his recent arrest for allegedly engaging in organized criminal activity and theft by a public servant.
During research for this new story, it was determined that Perez has come to the attention of the Judicial Commission in a previous instance and received a Public Warning by the Judicial Commission. ( http://www.scjc.state.tx.us/pdf/actions/fy2011-pubsanc.pdf).
Judge Saucedo and Commissioner's Court will discuss this most recent development and decide how to proceed.
