Judge Rosie Speedlin Gonzalez, who was the first openly gay judge elected in Bexar County, Texas, has resigned and accepted a lifetime ban from serving as a judge in the state.
The ban was part of a formal agreement finalized on April 20, 2026, between Gonzalez and the State Commission on Judicial Conduct to resolve multiple misconduct complaints in lieu of further disciplinary action.
