Domestic violence survivors across Bexar County are concerned about how long some criminal cases are taking, with some waiting years.

Understaffed specialized prosecutors in Bexar County’s Family Violence Division still need to get through 6,177 total domestic violence cases including both felony and misdemeanor cases.

No one is denying it: there is a massive backlog of domestic violence cases in Bexar County, and across Texas. It’s a subject KSAT has been following for eight years now.
