Two San Antonio lawyers are going up against each other to determine who will face incumbent Joe Gonzales in the race for Bexar County District Attorney.
Gonzales is sure to cruise to the general election, as he is running unopposed on the Democratic ballot in the primary.
Republican voters, however, have a choice to make in March between former prosecutor Meredith Chacon and lawyer Marc LaHood.
Chacon worked in the DA’s office from May 1999 until September 2018 before going to private practice. She has already taken aim at Gonzales, citing a rising violent crime rate.
Her opponent, Marc LaHood, is the brother of former Bexar County District Attorney Nico LaHood. He is an attorney and a partner of the family-run firm LaHood Law, specializing in criminal defense, personal injury law, probate issues and family law.
Gonzales has been able to tout certain victories, like the successful implementation of the county’s cite and release program.
But other challenges remain, like the growing backlog in domestic violence cases.
The district attorney’s office has also been hindered by communication issues between prosecutors and law enforcement, leading to delays in at least one high-profile murder case.
Gonzales will face the winner of the Republican primary in November.

Deputies with the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office uncovered a South Side gambling operation while executing a search warrant on Wednesday morning, according to Sheriff Javier Salazar.
Though the property in the 15100 block of Southwest Loop 410 was listed as an auto service business, Salazar said deputies found dozens of eight-liner machines, roughly a dozen firearms, cash, stolen cars and narcotics.
“Hiding in plain sight is what these folks are doing,” Salazar said.
Five people were taken into custody during the raid, Salazar said, including the suspected gambling operators. Two of them had active warrants — one for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and another for misdemeanor charges, the sheriff said.
“At the very least, these folks are preying upon the community,” Salazar said. “But on the higher end, they’re attracting organized crime.”
The suspected gambling operators are likely to be charged with keeping a gambling place, and they could face additional charges as deputies continue their investigation.
The sheriff’s office is asking anyone with information on illegal gambling operations to call 210-335-GANG.
