Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff says he believes his son, County Commissioner Kevin Wolff, will get a fair trial following his Sunday arrest for driving while intoxicated (DWI). The Bexar County District attorney will not appoint a special prosecutor. Judge Wolff says he has not spoken to his son since the commissioner was released from custody Sunday. “But from the media reports that I’ve seen and heard, he really messed up, and he’ll have to deal with that as he works his way through the judicial system,” the county judge says. He went on to say the charges don’t affect the commissioner’s job, and he believes the courts will be impartial. “Judges that will be looking at his case are elected separately, they’re not beholden to the Commissioners Court. The District Attorney is elected separately and of course not beholden to the Commissioners Court so there will be an impartial hearing and justice.” Nelson Wolff is the countywide elected official on the Bexar County Commissioners Court
