Hon. Veronica Vasquez
Law
Veronica Vasquez, the presiding judge of Bexar County Probate Court No. 2, was born and raised in Houston, Texas.
She attended the University of Texas at Austin. She went on to earn her law degree from the University of Texas School of Law.
In 2018, Judge Vasquez became the first woman of color elected Judge of the Bexar County Probate Courts.
Before taking the bench, Judge Vasquez campaigned on putting people first. Since taking the bench, she has done exactly that.
She provides informational resources for the public in English and Spanish on her website, the first probate court in the state to do so.
She provides helpful resources and templets available to the public and attorneys to make the probate process less overwhelming.
She continues to educate the public with presentations on wills, guardianships and elder exploitation.
Judge Vasquez is passionate about equality and justice for all members of our community, especially the elderly, and those with special physical and mental abilities.
She collaborated with Gordon Hartman to create a pick-up/drop-off zone for those with special needs at the old courthouse.
She also works in conjunction with State Senator José Menéndez to spearhead the Bexar County Elder Abuse and Exploitation Task Force, a group dedicated to justice for the elderly and incapacitated who have experienced abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
As a result of the Elder Abuse and Exploitation Task Force that Judge Vasquez co-chairs, Sen. Menéndez sponsored and passed House Bill 1156 during the Texas State 87th Legislative Session.
