BEXAR COUNTY, Texas — A Bexar County judge is facing criminal charges after a grand jury indicted her for unlawful restraint and official oppression, according to court records filed Thursday.
The indictment alleges Judge Rosie Speedlin-Gonzalez illegally detained a woman while acting in her official role in December 2024.
According to arrest records, Speedlin-Gonzalez is accused of intentionally restricting Elizabeth Russell’s movement without her consent. The indictment says the alleged actions significantly interfered with Russell’s freedom, leading to a charge of unlawful restraint involving a judge.

Court documents do not detail exactly what led up to the alleged incident and no plea has been entered so far. A court date has not yet been announced, according to the filing.
Speedlin-Gonzalez is accused of committing the acts while serving as a county judge. The case remains active and more information is expected as it moves through the court system.
