BEXAR COUNTY, Texas – Two charges filed against a now-former Bexar County sheriff’s deputy who allegedly allowed inmates at the county jail to go into other cells to assault other inmates have been dismissed.
In May 2025, Jorge Alejandro Rocha, 31, resigned from the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office after he was arrested and accused of official oppression and interfering with public duties. The charges were considered Class A and Class B misdemeanors, respectively.

Both cases against Rocha were officially closed July 7, according to Bexar County court records.
When reached for comment Tuesday, a BCSO spokesperson deferred its response to the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office.
“Following a comprehensive review of the available evidence, prosecutors determined there was insufficient evidence to proceed, and the case was dismissed,” a Bexar County District Attorney’s Office spokesperson told KSAT. “We will not be providing any further comment on this matter.”
Rocha’s arrest
Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar announced Rocha’s arrest during a May 16, 2025, news conference.
Salazar said information was developed around the time of the arrest of a different former BCSO deputy, Clemente Lopez, that Rocha “conducted similar activities” to Lopez.
Lopez, who was originally charged with murder in the death of inmate Francisco Bazan last year, is now facing one count of engaging in organized criminal activity and two aggravated assault charges. Lopez’s tentative trial date is set for Aug. 19, court records show.
