LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - State District Judge Ruben Reyes was known nationwide for his work with specialty courts, working to provide solutions for addicts in the legal system, instead of just putting them in jail. On Thursday, a group of people helped by Judge Reyes gathered to remember him.
Those who attended the ceremony on Thursday night described Judge Reyes as a man who changed their lives.
“I immediately wanted to do so much for him because I know that he would. He does a lot for us, and he did a lot for us,” said Jason Gutierrez.
