For one week this month, anyone walking through the basement between the Paul Elizondo Tower and the Bexar County Justice Center passed by large gift baskets on display as part of a silent auction.
The baskets were made up of items donated by employees from the various departments within the Bexar County District Clerk’s Office, staff told KSAT.
The week-long auction, which had been scheduled to run between August 8-15, was abruptly canceled after KSAT Investigates began asking questions about it. “Nobody contacted us about that,” said Gonzales, who confirmed his office would have offered an ethical and legal opinion on the event had his office been asked.A district clerk employee who identified herself as the head of the fundraising committee defended the auctioning of alcohol, telling KSAT the items were closed and not being consumed on county property.
Martinez, who took office on Jan. 1, did not respond to a phone call or emails seeking comment for this story.
