[Niner]

WTH? I wasted time yesterday trying other ways to see court dockets and proceedings - seems one of the search engines is messed up and another wants me to register. Nothing.

Anyway I just checked again and this came up:

Thanks! So - look like no trial happening if he is seeking bail reduction.

He did have a reduction already - on 1/14/22 it was lowered from $250K to $200K.

Are you sure it is not a hearing to SET trial date?? I think that is what they have said before... who knows, eh?!

I think it is a hearing but it may not be *the* trial date. IOW it could be a status check or it could be that the defense attorneys keep filing last minute motions that delay things.

We’ve seen a couple trials finally take place in Bexar county recently so barring a plea deal this one will eventually happen too.

I sure HOPE it is the trial. The article did say they were setting his trial date, so I figured this MIGHT be it! Fingers crossed it IS!

SAN ANTONIO — A husband accused of murdering his wife is out of jail. Reyes Gallegos is charged with the murder of Cecilia Huerta Gallegos. Nearly four years later, the mother's body still hasn't been found.
KENS 5 learned the suspect's bond was recently lowered allowing him to bond out. Meanwhile, Cecilia's family is furious as his next court date is more than a month away.

 

[LovesPeace2]

Nearly, two years since his arrest, a judge recently granted Gallegos's bond to be reduced. The accused murdered bonded out of jail, a few weeks ago.

"Why now?," Lopez said.

The suspect is on full house arrest, but Lopez is not happy.

"He is just sitting at home," she said. "And not to make it sound bad, but he is eating a bowl of food and my sister is gone. And we are the ones suffering."

Gallegos' next court date is on March 30. The family is still not giving up hope on finding Cecilia's body, they plan to do another search next month. 'Why now?' | A husband accused of murdering his wife is out of jail after his bond was reduced

"Nos dijo que se había ido, pero no es cierto": Hermana de Cecilia Huerta habla a casi 4 años de su desaparición

La noche del 7 de julio del 2019, Cecilia Huerta entró a su domicilio, donde vivía con su esposo, Reyes Gallegos, y sus cuatro hijos, pero nunca más volvió a salir.

www.univision.com

[...]

Reyes Gallegos leaves prison to serve arrest at home​

After being arrested and released in 2019 on charges related to the case, Reyes Gallegos was finally detained as the main suspect in the murder until August 2021: two years after Cecilia's disappearance.

Now, in February 2023, Reyes, 38, was released from prison and is under house arrest with GPS monitoring.

Cecilia's family was devastated after learning of her reduced sentence and called for justice from the authorities.

"When you're charged with murder, I think you shouldn't even have bail. He thought it was normal what he did, but in reality he affected the children too much that not only have they not been the same again, they have to go to psychologists," Mireya said.

[...]

They hope that justice honors Cecilia's memory​

The next trial date for Reyes Gallegos will be March 30, where he will seek to reach an agreement to reduce his sentence.

This reduction would be granted only if he can provide clues to Cecilia's location.

And if so, a new search would be undertaken to find his remains.

 

[Niner]

I am also surprised that Texas let's "alleged" murderers out on bail...

I have corrected my notes on him being released on bail.
