Bexar County Court Judge Rosie Speedlin Gonzalez has been suspended without pay, one week after her indictment on multiple criminal charges.
Last week, Speedlin-Gonzalez was charged with unlawful restraint by a peace officer or judge and official oppression, following an incident in December of 2024, when the judge ordered a defense attorney in her courtroom to be placed in handcuffs and seated in the jury box.
The judge is now free on bond after making her initial court appearance last week and later heard cases in court this week, but her suspension will remain in effect until the charges are dismissed, she’s acquitted of all charges or until the commission issues another order.
