Judge Faces Charges Of Forging Docs To Obtain Mortgage Loan On Home Co-Owned With Another

In Elsa, Texas, The Monitor reports:

• Municipal Judge Hilda Caceres has been indicted on charges that she forged a signature on a loan application, an accusation her supporters say is politically motivated. An indictment handed down in late December and unsealed [earlier this month] charges the public official with four counts of forgery and three counts of tampering with a government record.

• Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Treviño has said his office’s investigation centers on a piece of real estate that Caceres shares with Nora Delgado and used as collateral for the loan. Caceres allegedly forged Delgado’s signature before a notary public to obtain authorization for the loan. [...] The seven-count indictment filed Dec. 23 alleges Caceres forged Delgado’s signature on three documents on May 14: a deed of trust, an assignment of leases and rents, and an affidavit of identity.
