Fact check: AG Paxton blasts Democrat Rochelle Garza for defending ‘human trafficking’ suspect
Marcy Miranda, a Garza campaign spokeswoman, said the Paxton billboards are false and misleading,
Garza, a former ACLU attorney who grew up in the border town of Brownsville, has made Paxton's legal issues central to her campaign. The campaign thus far, which has not drawn the same national interest or dollars as the governor's race, has largely been waged via the internet. Paxton does not appear to have put out TV advertisements, though he did launch hisappear to refer to two defendants that Garza briefly represented in 2017 and 2018 — but neither were charged with human trafficking or human smuggling.
The defendant had originally asked for Garza to replace her government-appointed public defender. But the first time Garza appeared in court on her behalf, court documents show that Garza requested"additional time to speak to the family in reference to being retained in this case." That same day, the defense moved to have Garza withdrawn as counsel, and the court granted the motion.
