Maverick County Judge Ramsey Cantú is stepping down early, avoiding a potential jury trial and the fallout from his May suspension over accusations of misconduct and incompetence. Though his term wasn’t up for another four months, Cantú says he’s resigning not out of defeat—but because he believes it’s best for him and his ability to serve. His resignation comes after losing a primary runoff and follows interim judge Rolando Jasso’s temporary leadership. The Commissioners Court will now appoint a successor, while the suspending judge will meet to consider lifting the order—closing a turbulent chapter in Maverick County’s governance.
