EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14/CBS4) — The El Paso mother arrested for allegedly forging documents to visit her son in jail on Mother’s Day reportedly pretended she was visiting on behalf of a lawyer and planned to bring the inmate’s girlfriend under the same ruse.

According to the complaint affidavit, 45-year-old Nancy Alvarez– who works at the Texas Amaral Group law firm– filled out two El Paso County Sheriff’s Office Inmate Access Request forms to visit her son and a second inmate on Sunday, May 10, using an expired Texas Private Security License, alleging that she was visiting the two on behalf of an attorney.

However, a detention officer reported finding irregularities in the forms, first noticing that the Texas Private Security License showed Alvarez’s last name as “Gaucin”– the same last name as the son– and then that neither inmate was being represented by the lawyer that Alvarez had allegedly used to fill out the forms.

On the affidavit, detectives state that on May 13, they called the lawyer listed, who reportedly told them that he did not give Alvarez permission to visit the two inmates on May 10 on his behalf or to forge his signature.

Then the affidavit lists a series of jail phone calls detectives say were made between Alvarez and her son before and after the Mother’s Day visit.

In the phone calls, detectives describe Alvarez allegedly planning the visit with her son and the fallout after the son’s real lawyer learned of the forged documents.

Phone calls:May 3
Alvarez reportedly tells her son that she told his girlfriend she can bring her to the visit pretending to be “counsel” so that “they can be more calm and not be bothered.”May 10
Alvarez reportedly tells her son she’s pulling into the jail’s parking lot and that she brought her laptop and printer “in case ‘they’ ask for a letter or any paperwork.”May 11
Son reportedly calls Alvarez to tell her to “slow down with ‘that’,” referring to the visits. In the same call, Alvarez reportedly asked about how her son’s lawyer was, saying that she heard he had gotten mad. Then, in a second call that same day, Alvarez reportedly described the lawyer as a “snitch” and threatened to “burn him with all her friends that are judges and lawyers.” Alvarez also reportedly asked her son to add her to his visitation list, so she can visit him as his mother.May 12
Son reportedly tells Alvarez the lawyer won’t return the money due to what happened. May 13
Alvarez reportedly tells her son that if she is charged, it will be a “weak case,” adding that she believes she didn’t do anything wrong. “It’s not my fault that we are helping in your case, and you are related to me,” Alvarez reportedly told her son. Furthermore, Alvarez reportedly justified her actions, saying that his son’s lawyer had said not to get involved with the court or probation, but never not to get involved with him, reportedly adding that she will say she “needed to ask Liam where the drugs where [sic] in the vehicle.”

The complaint affidavit then describes that the detectives spoke with the son’s lawyer, who explained that he was in the process of withdrawing from the son’s legal counsel because of what happened, reportedly telling detectives that he had told Alvarez to stay away from her son and the case.

The affidavit concludes with detectives interviewing Alvarez on May 19, and Alvarez reportedly telling them that she worked as a private investigator for about 12 years, and that she had permission from the lawyer listed in the forms to visit both inmates (this, despite detectives claiming she did not have proof of said permission).

Then Alvarez reportedly told the detectives that she ignored the part in the forms that reads, “I further certify the person whom access is requested is not related to the inmate by blood or marriage” because she believed that part only applied to attorneys.
