Overview
- Bexar County court records show all three counts against Myrta Romanos were dismissed on Wednesday, and her attorney confirmed the decision.
- The dismissal was entered "for further investigation," a status that allows prosecutors to revisit the case if new evidence emerges.
- Judge Jennifer Pena twice rejected prosecutors’ continuance requests tied to DNA and handprint testing of a handgun at the Bexar County Crime Lab before the dismissal.
- Christopher Preciado remains charged with capital murder in the 2023 shootings, with his trial scheduled to begin on February 2, 2026.
- Proceedings for father Ramon Preciado were postponed, and the victims’ family said they learned of the dismissal on social media and criticized the district attorney’s communication.
