Morales Files Petition to Remove Judge Ramsey Cantu, Citing Pattern of Delinquent Tax Payments

Aug 13, 2025
2 min read

MAVERICK COUNTY, TEXAS — Maverick County Precinct 1 Commissioner Gerardo “Jerry” Morales announced Tuesday, August 12, 2025, that he has filed a petition in the 365th Judicial District Court seeking the removal of Maverick County Judge Ramsey English Cantu from office.


According to Morales, the petition alleges that Judge Cantu has failed to pay county ad valorem property taxes and includes "other grounds" for removal from office. Morales further claims that such delays in tax payments have become a recurring habit for the former Eagle Pass mayor, now serving as county judge.


“This is about accountability and ensuring our elected officials uphold the same responsibilities expected of every taxpayer and public servant,” Morales said in his announcement.


Morales stated that Cantu has faced public criticism in previous years over allegations of delinquent property taxes, which, according to Morales, amounted to thousands of dollars.


Morales is also viewed by some in local political circles as a potential challenger to Judge Cantu in the 2026 election for Maverick County Judge. While he has not formally declared his candidacy, Morales has acknowledged that he is giving the prospect serious consideration.


As of press time, County Judge Cantu has not released any public statement regarding the allegations brought to light by Commissioner Morales.


The petition sets the stage for what could become both a legal and political battle within Maverick County leadership.



Morales presenta petición para destituir al juez Ramsey Cantú,

alegando un patrón de morosidad en el pago de impuestos


CONDADO DE MAVERICK, TEXAS — El comisionado del Precinto 1 del Condado de Maverick, Gerardo “Jerry” Morales, anunció el martes 12 de agosto de 2025 que presentó una petición ante el Tribunal del Distrito Judicial 365 solicitando la destitución del juez del Condado de Maverick, Ramsey English Cantú.


Según Morales, la petición alega que el juez Cantú no ha pagado los impuestos prediales ad valorem del condado e incluye "otras causales" para su destitución. Morales afirma además que estos retrasos en el pago de impuestos se han convertido en un hábito recurrente para el exalcalde de Eagle Pass, quien ahora se desempeña como juez del condado.


"Se trata de rendición de cuentas y de garantizar que nuestros funcionarios electos cumplan con las mismas responsabilidades que se esperan de todo contribuyente y servidor público", declaró Morales en su anuncio.


Morales declaró que Cantú ha enfrentado críticas públicas en años anteriores por acusaciones de morosidad en el pago de impuestos prediales, que, según Morales, ascendían a miles de dólares. En círculos políticos locales, Morales también es visto como un posible rival del juez Cantú en las elecciones de 2026 para juez del condado de Maverick. Si bien no ha declarado formalmente su candidatura, Morales ha reconocido que la está considerando seriamente.


Al cierre de esta edición, el juez Cantú no ha emitido ninguna declaración pública sobre las acusaciones reveladas por el comisionado Morales.


La petición sienta las bases para lo que podría convertirse en una batalla legal y política dentro del liderazgo del condado de Maverick.
