  At the Monday, July 24th, 2023 Commissioners Court meeting Commissioner Pargas continued to be hounded and scorned by Robb 21 victims advocates and family members. Marissa Lozano, Ruben Torres and Belinda Arreola delivered blistering comments to Pargas.

   County Commissioner Pagas broke his silence responding to criticism from Ruben Torres who often just stood silently at the podium staring at Pargas. Pargas said: “Why don’t you wait until the investigation is over?” he asked, which sparked a brief outburst from a group of family members and advocates of the slain Robb 21 victims.
