Gery Moreno-Mendez was recently hired by Godley ISD and also worked for Crowley ISD prior to his June arrest.<\/p>\n
TARRANT COUNTY, Texas \u2014 A former North Texas principal was arrested after allegedly selling weight-loss drugs to teachers illegally while on the job, court documents outline.<\/p>\n
Tarrant County Court records show Gerardo Moreno-Mendez was arrested on June 2. A criminal complaint against him says he sold ‘Tirzepatide,’ a GLP-1 weekly weight loss drug to at least three people without a prescription as required by federal law.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Moreno-Mendez has previously been hired by Godley ISD to serve as principal of Godley Middle School for the upcoming 2026-27 school year.<\/p>\n
“Following Mr. Moreno’s arrest in Tarrant County last month, the district requested and received his resignation,” a spokesperson for Godley ISD said in a statement. “Because he was completing his duties with his previous district and had not yet begun employment with Godley ISD, he never worked in the district.”<\/p>\n
Online records also show that Moreno-Mendez previously worked as a math support specialist for Crowley ISD. The district declined to comment to WFAA on him, saying it is unable to comment on personal matters involving former employees.<\/p>\n
As of today, Moreno-Mendez is no longer in the Tarrant County jail.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gery Moreno-Mendez was recently hired by Godley ISD and also worked for Crowley ISD prior to his June…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":57147,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[27,29,28],"class_list":["post-359452","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/359452","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=359452"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/359452\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57147"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=359452"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=359452"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=359452"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
