I apologize to the public, to my fellow judge, and to the law enforcement personnel who were involved, Justice Nora Longoria said in a statement.

Her apology comes eight months after she was arrested by the McAllen Police Department on a DWI charge on July 12, 2014.

The State Commission on Judicial Conduct issued a public admonition late last week prompting a response from Longoria.

During a meeting last month, the commission reviewed allegations made against Longoria.

When the officer attempted to place her handcuffs, however, Justice Longoria became emotional and uncooperative, demanding that a supervisor come to the scene, the commission found.

The state commission concluded Longoria repeatedly identified herself to police officers as being a judge," according to records obtained by Action 4 News.

The public admonition signed by Chairman Steve L. Seider also highlights the widespread media attention adding Longoria TMs conduct discredited administering justice.

The commission has taken this action in a continuing effort to protect public confidence in the judicial system and to assist the state TMs judiciary in its efforts to embody the principles and values set forth in the Texas Constitution and the Texas Code of Judicial Conduct, the commission wrote.

Judge Rolando Cantu with Hidalgo County Court at Law No. 8 signed an order dismissing the case on grounds that prosecutors did not have enough evidence.

Former Hidalgo County District Attorney Rene Guerra said he was not given the dashcam recording of Longoria taking a sobriety test and "didn't bother to ask" for it, according to a previous report by Action 4 News.

That night, the one year anniversary of a great loss, I did not conduct myself according to my own standards and values, or according to the level of conduct the public should expect of all elected officials, especially he judiciary, Longoria said in a news release.

Although she did not indicate what personal loss she suffered, obituary notices indicate her now late husband died July 1, 2013.

Some have called for her resignation despite the case being dismissed

I have learned a great deal from this experience and pledge to uphold the high standard that the public is entitled to expect from all judges, she said.

The Edinburg native remains a justice on the 13th Court of Appeals.
