A Starr County judge dismissed a lawsuit on Monday that sought to keep the Republican candidate running for Starr County judge from being on the ballot. The lawsuit was filed Aug. 19 by Starr County Judge Eloy Vera, a Democrat who is running for reelection. Vera argued in the lawsuit that his Republican opponent, Maria Yvette Hernandez, does not live in Starr County and is therefore ineligible to run for the seat. To support his argument, Vera used paperwork Hernandez filed with the Starr County Clerk’s Office on June 24, 2016, in which she attested that a La Joya residence had been her “sole homestead” since 2006.
