A little purple goes a long way in sending a powerful message. 💜

Last Thursday, our staff wore purple in recognition of Purple Thursday as part of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Awareness matters, but so does action. Every survivor deserves to feel safe, supported, and heard.

If you are experiencing abuse or recognizing warning signs in your relationship, know that help is available. You are not alone.

A few El Paso students earned some serious bragging rights this weekend… they beat a lawyer at chess! ♟️

DA Montoya and several of our prosecutors put their chess skills to the test at the 3rd Annual Kids v. Lawyers Chess Tournament. Win or lose, it was a fun opportunity to connect with students and hopefully spark an interest in the legal profession.

Saturday also brought our team to Ascarate Park for the 2026 NAMIWalks. 💚 Mental health and the criminal justice system intersect in important ways, and we recognize the value of awareness, early intervention, and access to support.

Thank you to NAMI El Paso and Commissioner Iliana Holguin!

Domestic violence can affect anyone, and awareness is an important part of prevention.

Know the signs. Know the resources. Know that help is available.
