Bexar County’s 14 civil district judges have appointed Kimberly Burley as associate judge in Children’s Court and when she takes the oath of office, she will be the first woman and African American to hold that bench.
Burley, 51, will replace Associate Judge Richard Garcia, 68, who retired April 30 after a nearly 33-year career.
Working alongside Associate Judge Charles Montemayor, Burley will be the second jurist to hear Child Protective Services cases that involve child abuse and neglect, and preside over adoptions of children who are in foster care.
