A former employee with the Starr County District Attorney’s office pleaded guilty to conspiracy to transport undocumented people on Friday, according to court records.
A Texas crime victims coordinator who was employed by the Starr County District Attorney’s Office has pleaded guilty to using a county vehicle to smuggle immigrants into the United States. Bernice Garza pleaded guilty Friday to conspiracy to transport undocumented people within the United States, according to a report from KRGV.
Garza was arrested in December 2022 after a traffic stop in Victoria County noted that the vehicle registered with the county was making 'numerous unauthorized trips to the Houston area,' the criminal complaint said. Magali Rosa was the driver of the vehicle, according to police, while Garza and Charles were among the passengers in the vehicle.
Sentencing for Garza and Charles was set for Sept. 28, the reporting notes, while sentencing for Magali Rosa is set for June 27.
