On Oct. 11th, the Bexar County Commissioners Court approved a proposal for a three-year assessment of our local justice system’s response to domestic violence. The proposal was brought forward by Commissioner Justin Rodriguez and the Bexar County Office of Judicial Services in partnership with the Collaborative Commission on Domestic Violence .
The county approved funding for year one, totaling $226,149. The county plans to continue to review and fund the assessment each year. Diaz is co-chair of the Collaborative Commission on Domestic violence. The commission joins leaders from every sector of the community to figure out how they can collectively better deal with family violence.“I hope that it is done well and correctly, and we don’t continue to move on as is,” said Christina Campos, director of Community Integrated Services at Campos supervises caseloads, works one-on-one with clients, and is a Child Protective Services liaison for FVPS.
“When we’re determining custody and visitation arrangements, we need to know there’s a no-contact order on the criminal side and communicate with one another about how those orders are going to work together – in favor of the family instead of against the family,” Diaz said.“When a criminal defendant is convicted in a domestic violence case, they’re prohibited from possessing a firearm. In a civil case, that prohibition takes place much earlier.
