Complaint against Williamson County judge referred to San Antonio judge

A complaint against Williamson County Judge Bill Gravell (R) alleging he violated the county’s social distancing orders and committed official oppression has been referred to Judge David Peeples in San Antonio.

Peeples, who serves in the state’s fourth administrative judicial region, said Monday he is searching for a prosecutor to determine whether the complaint should be prosecuted.

Williamson County Attorney Robert McCabe filed a complaint in April against Gravell, saying the judge had violated the county’s shelter-in-place order by getting an off-duty sheriff’s deputy to drive him to a fire department, borrowing a firefighter’s outfit and wearing it to his grandson’s birthday party.

The incident happened April 7, the same day Gravell extended the county’s shelter-in-place order until April 30, McCabe has said.
