Rating is a 3 on a scale of 1-10. This person is one of the more poor excuses for a judge that I have ever seen. And I’ve seen plenty. Apparently she had been thinking about the court of appeals spot for many years-at the expense of paying attention to the litigants in front of her in family court. Her elitest mind must have been set on other sights. Family Court was probably a thrill for her in the beginning but she must have come to feel it was beneath her-no thanks to an overly doting husband. It’s obvious this person has been a doted-on princess all her life. She would never possibly comprehend what it’s like to be in an abusive relationship for him over two decades. Or to have people and their lawyers come into court and lie and do a really stellar job of it. Not that anyone paying attention couldn’t see through the bull-no, that would take someone who can recognize and understand how narcissists and sociopaths operate. They’re flashy and they’re entertaining and they grin-a lot. They make up excuses as to why they need a continuance when the other side is ready. So they can commit adultery one last time before the final decree. The rest of us however are simply doing the best we can with whatever impossible situation we are trying to escape. This judge took my divorce and essentially stuffed my 2 decade tumultuous marriage into a one hour testimony. Let me just say-ling marriages are going to have “old” evidence. Evidence of value. Evidence that lead to the divorce. Over many painful years of patience, and excruciatingly difficult grit of remaining for the sake of the children. Shorter marriages-the ones that no one tried to even do-those are allowed any evidence because why? They’re short and the litigants stopped soon enough for Judge G to allow them to tell their whole story.
But Judge Garcia refused to allow testimony about one of my husband’s arrests because it didn’t involve the children directly. But let me tell you something it certainly involved our child indirectly and ultimately, directly, when we got home. How do you think it feels (certainly this judge wouldn’t understand!) to live with an alcoholic and a toddler at the same time how do you think it feels for your husband to be arrested on Christmas Eve while you’re trying to get ready for Santa Claus for your 6 year old and 2 year-old? How do you think it feels for your husband to be arrested at your Best friend‘s wedding and for the judge in your divorce case to refuse to hear anything about it, despite the fact that you had children at the time he was arrested. Thanks but it goes to fault under Texas law. That “just and right” division of property. That’s right Garcia wouldn’t know how that feels because she’s likely been super-duper pampered by men who adore her all her life. Judge Olvera or Judge Hunter would’ve done a much more effective, smarter, savvier, empathetic and fair job. I hope that Mrs. Garcia does not plan to go beyond the Court of Appeals-hope that Mrs. Garcia does not plan to go beyond the Court of Appeals- because until she straightens up her smug, holier than thou, thinks she has everyone pegged as how their husbands portray them-ha. What a joke. She had an obnoxious lack of decency, empathy and integrity. She is not worthy of the bench much less a higher seat. Judge Olvera and Judge Hunter are thrice the judge Garcia was. She is in my opinion a judge lacking decency, disregards the important individuals and the corresponding facts of each case, ruling in an unreasonable way, and lacking the requisite compassion to wear a robe. It’s the law, my friends. And the law is made for the protection of human beings. And how the laws impact each of us-now and decades from now when our children still feel the impact of one lone smug judge’s flippant decisions about their little LIVES. Thanks.

Horrible Judge, does not uphold the Law, legislates against fathers from the bench and separates children.
