The race between Hays County Judge democratic candidates Brandon Burleson and incumbent Ruben Becerra has turned contentious with a legal battle. 

A verbal altercation that allegedly turned physical between Becerra’s wife Monica and Burleson’s mother Rose occurred during a Martin Luther King, Jr. memorial celebration on Jan. 16 in San Marcos. The Burlesons have sought a temporary restraining order and $250,000 in damages.
