The Bexar County Democratic Precinct Chairs met @ Magnolia Gardens Restaurant, Saturday, August 23rd, to fill the vacancy left by a judicial candidate who was ruled ineligible to run, with another candidate for the 57th District Court.

Part-time Municipal Judge Antonia Arteaga will replace Attorney Lauro Bustamante who was disqualifed in May.

Two other candidates vied for the opportunity to be placed on the ballot in the November election. Former SAISD Board Member & former Municipal Judge Paul Talamantez also sought the appointment.

The recommendation will now go to the Texas Democratic Party Chair Boyd Richie for a final determination.
