Internal Affairs, External Questions: Trust and Truth in Comal County
Comal County Lieutenant Michael Guerra has overseen nearly fifty internal affairs cases, most ending in “sustained” findings. On paper, it looks like accountability at work. But Guerra’s own past — admitting dishonesty during an internal probe in Seguin — raises deeper questions. Did he sustain deputies for minor missteps while excusing serious misconduct? And can the public truly trust the integrity of internal affairs when the man making those determinations once misled investigators himself?

From Brunch to Jail: New Braunfels Firefighter Suspended After Wild Off-Duty Night
What began as a casual Sunday brunch with mimosas ended in a shirtless scuffle downtown, a foot chase near Schlitterbahn, and an arrest for public intoxication. City records show firefighter Mark Alan Gonzales drank at bars, snuck alcohol into a city recreation center, fought with a colleague, and hurled profanities at police before being taken to jail. Weeks later, the fire department hit him with a 15-day suspension without pay, raising questions about accountability — and why he was charged only with public intox.
From Locker Room to Courtroom: Lockhart ISD Faces Questions After Coach’s Arrest
The arrest of former Lockhart ISD coach Aaron Aguilar has led to a federal lawsuit that questions how the district handled student safety. Aguilar, taken into custody in April on a charge of sexual performance of a child, is accused in court filings of grooming and abusing a junior high student over two school years.
The lawsuit argues that Aguilar’s conduct was made possible by failures inside Lockhart ISD — from inadequate background checks to poor staff training and what the filing describes as a “dysfunctional” Title IX system. It also points to earlier cases of educator misconduct as warning signs the district allegedly overlooked.
What began in the locker room has now moved into the courtroom, leaving the Lockhart community to confront whether the district fulfilled its duty to protect students.
