served as chair of the House Democratic Caucus from 2022 to 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\u201cI cut my teeth 27 years ago accepting court appointed criminal defense cases,\u201d Martinez Fischer said. \u201cAs Bexar County\u2019s longest serving Representative, I have written and passed laws protecting our community by enhancing punishments on those who commit financial crimes against senior citizens, prosecuting those who commit sex crimes on our children, criminalizing street racing, and enhancing punishments for DWI offenders.\u201d<\/p>\n
The news release said the exploratory committee will be led by legal figures with over 120 years of combined experience: Therese Huntzinger, a former Chief Prosecutor in the District Attorney\u2019s Juvenile Crimes Division; Bobby Barrera, past President of the San Antonio Bar Association and Director for the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association; and Mario Del Prado, former Chief Prosecutor in the District Attorney\u2019s Major Crimes Division.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe District Attorney\u2019s office is the largest law firm in our community. Our clients are the people, and they deserve the assurance that we are providing them with the absolute best.\u201d<\/p>\n
Martinez Fischer earned his law degree from the University of Texas School of Law.<\/p>\n
In the coming days, Martinez Fischer said he plans to evaluate the District Attorney\u2019s Office operations and consult with county leaders about potential structural and financial changes to strengthen the office.<\/p>\n
