This evening, the Polly Jackson Spencer Probate American Inns of Court was granted its Charter by the National American Inns of Court. As the founding President, I am thrilled to see our hard work come to fruition and our organization recognized as an official Inn. Naming our organization after Polly Jackson Spencer has been a highlight of this journey.

I was touched today to walk in my office and see the sweet gifts from my staff on Boss’s Day! These hardworking public servants give a 110% everyday, they take pride in what they do and strive to provide the public their best. I’m privileged to get to work with them on a daily basis!

The City of San Antonio will begin training employees on identifying elder abuse and reporting it. A first of its kind in Texas.

San Antonio employees will be trained to recognize elder abuse The city's training policy is the first of its kind in Texas and the latest initiative from the Elder Fraud and Exploitation Task Force.

Excited to celebrate the trailblazer Linda Chavez-Thompson’s 80th Birthday!

Today I presented to Commissioners Court to discuss a grant Bexar County recently applied for to create a Senior Justice Assessment Center, modeled after Harris County. The SJAC would provide a holistic approach to Senior victims of abuse, neglect and exploitation. It would not only bring together law enforcement agencies to ensure successful prosecution but also provide much needed wraparound services to these special victims. Members of the Elder Abuse and Exploitation Task Force came out in full force to support this much needed initiative. SJAC creation has been a goal of the Task Force for 3 years. We look forward to the SJAC becoming a reality in Bexar County.

This weekend I had the pleasure of representing the Polly Jackson Spencer American Inn of Court at the Inns of Distinction Gala. As the founding President of the Inn, I received a special invite. The best part was the event location, the United States Supreme Court! It was an amazing and memorable experience!

Thank you AARP for allowing me to speak yesterday during lunch! I always love educating the public about Elder Abuse and Probate.

Thank you Senator Menendez for inviting me to participate in the Elder Abuse Townhall. I am proud to Co-Chair the Elder Abuse and Exploitation Task Force with the Senator for the past 5 years. Many of our community partners were also present at the townhall.

I’m not sure what you all did for lunch, but I had the pleasure of speaking to the Retired American Postal Workers on Wills and POAs! I do this every year as my Dad is a retired postal worker. I even wore my postal blue!

Great Task Force meeting today! We discussed the efforts we are currently making to create a Bexar County Senior Justice Assessment Center. It would be modeled after the one in Harris County. Our community partners are excited to collaborate to make this project possible!

Another great National College of Probate Judges conference (NCPJ). I am proud to be on the Executive Committee for NCPJ. The best part of the organization is meeting fellow Probate Judges from across the United States. I look forward to the next conference!

Congratulations San Antonio Legal Services (SALSA) on a successful luncheon! I’m proud to be the Judicial Co-Chair of this amazing organization. SALSA provides pro-bono (free) legal services to those who cannot otherwise afford an attorney. It’s a great organization that provides much needed services to our community.

Thank you NLC-SA for allowing me to speak today! It’s always a pleasure to meet such impressive local leaders.

I’m happy to announce Probate Court 2’s monthly newsletter! Each month we will discuss various topics our court finds relevant to attorneys and the public. Each issue will be published on the Probate Court 2 website. This month’s issue features PC2 Court Investigator, Francesca Cammack. We hope you find this helpful!

Thank you NAACP San Antonio Chapter for inviting me to attend tonight’s Jubilee celebration. The event celebrates the Emancipation Proclamation. It’s an emotional and empowering event every year.

Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day! I am grateful for all the sacrifices civil rights leaders have made for people like myself. Thank you for making my and my children’s world, and the world for all the children a better place to live.

Tonight we had a tremendous turnout for the inaugural meeting for the newly created Polly Jackson Spencer Probate American Inn of Court. I am proud to have spearheaded the creation of this organization and to serve as its first President. A big thank you to SAWS for hosting our first event.

Happy Holidays from our family to yours!

Happy Veterans Day! Thank you to all who have served our country! 🇺🇸

This year I was tasked with establishing a Probate specific American Inns of Court for Bexar County (modeled after Inns already created in Harris and Dallas County). The new Inn will be named the Polly Jackson-Spencer American Inns of Court. If you are unfamiliar with the Inns, essentially it’s an organization whose mission is to foster excellence in professionalism, ethics, civility and legal skills amongst lawyers. Last night I conducted our first meeting with the Benchers (those probate practitioners with more than 30 years). There we adopted bylaws and the charter. I was also elected as the first President of the new organization. I’m looking forward to growing this organization and fostering camaraderie amongst the probate bar.

Thank you Rachel Cavazos and AARP for inviting me to present on Wills and Estates Planning! Educating the public is one of my favorite things to do!

Today, I was surprised to be honored with the President’s award from the San Antonio Bar Association. The organization recognized me and Patricia Vargas for the hard work we put in over the past couple of years towards the creation of a 3rd Probate Court in Bexar County. It is nice to be recognized for the hard work we put in for the citizens of Bexar County!
