Mathis ISD, Gonzales family saga continues with new court rulings
CORPUS CHRISTI – Earlier this month, the Gonzales family from Mathis was in court asking Judge Nelva Ramos to consider an injunction that would allow Cesar and Diego Gonzales to participate in Mathis ISD extracurricular activities.
For the past two years, the brothers have been barred from playing on their school’s football team or participating in academic clubs because of a religious promise they have kept since birth.
Cesar and Diego Gonzales leave a small part of their hair uncut and braided due to a religious promise known as a promesa they have kept since infancy.
After the hearing on Sept. 5, Judge Ramos said she needed more time to consider all the evidence. Then, just a few hours later, she granted an injunction to Diego but not his brother Cesar. The judge asked for the attorneys to file more paperwork and evidence if they wished.
On Sept. 11, Cesar was granted his injunction, allowing him to participate in sports and other UIL activities.
