A Harris County judge was suspended from the bench with pay after being arrested on New Year’s Eve on charges of family assault, according to officials.

Judge Frank Aguilar of the 228th District Court was suspended on Feb. 7 for what the State Commission on Judicial Conduct said was a “pending criminal matter,” which appeared to stem from the Dec. 31, 2023 incident.
