Mireles was arrested in January with County Tax Assessor-Collector Tony Yzaguirre Jr. former tax investigator Pedro Garza Jr. and dealer/notary supervisor Omar Sanchez-Paz in “Operation Dirty Deeds.” Several employees had been accused of taking bribes and other charges.

Garza’s charges were also dismissed on Friday. Charges are pending against Yzaguirre, Sanchez-Paz and Claudia Elisa Sanchez, who was later arrested in connection with “Operation Dirty Deeds.”
