Judge Rosie Speedlin Gonzalez Suspended Without Pay Amid Criminal Charges
Judge Rosie Speedlin Gonzalez of Bexar County Court at Law 13 has been suspended without pay following her recent indictment on criminal charges. The State Commission on Judicial Conduct issued the suspension order, stating that it will remain in effect until the charges are resolved. The indictment includes charges of unlawful restraint by a judicial officer, both a felony and misdemeanor official oppression. This action comes after an incident in December 2024, where the judge ordered a defense attorney to be handcuffed and seated in the jury box in her courtroom. Speedlin Gonzalez is currently out on bond and has not commented on the situation. It is unclear who will oversee County Court 13 in her absence.
