About
A community-led record.
The RGV Accountability Project is a civic initiative based in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas. We document credible reports of police brutality, judicial misconduct, prosecutorial overreach, public corruption, and environmental harm by government actors — and we forward those records to oversight bodies with the authority to act on them.
We are not a court. We are not a prosecutor. We are neighbors, families, and members of the bar who refuse to keep watching the same patterns repeat with no consequence.
Our sourcing standard
- · Every case published on this site is attributed — to a witness, a family member, an attorney, a journalist, or a court filing.
- · Allegations are presented as allegations until adjudicated. Indictments and rulings are cited to the public record.
- · Submitted testimonies are reviewed before publication and are only published if the submitter gave written permission.
- · We do not invent names, photographs, or events. If we don't have it, we don't publish it.
Agencies we are filing with
- · U.S. Department of Justice — Civil Rights Division
- · FBI San Antonio Field Office (covering the RGV)
- · Texas Rangers, Company D (McAllen)
- · Texas Commission on Judicial Conduct
- · Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE)
- · Texas Attorney General — Public Integrity

Disclaimers
Testimonies submitted by community members represent the views and recollections of the submitters and have not been independently adjudicated. Their inclusion on this site is not a finding of guilt against any person named. Where charges have been filed, every defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
Quotations from public officials are drawn from public records, court filings, or on-the-record interviews. Where a quotation is paraphrased from a witness account, it is identified as such.
