SAN ANTONIO — The Texas
Civil Liberties Union filed a class ac
tion lawsuit Thursday against San
Antonio Police Chief Charles Rodri
guez, the city, and other officials, ac
cusing them of widespread police
brutality.
Texas ACLU legal director Jim
Harrington said the suit supersedes
an earlier lawsuit filed by a local at
torney on behalf of Reyes Ruiz.
Ruiz, 19, claimed he was repeat
edly sexually abused from 1981 to
1983 by Milton Barrera, a San Anto
nio policeman. The police depart
ment’s internal affairs division inves
tigated Ruiz’s charges and
recommended Barrera’s dismissal.
Rodriguez instead suspended
Barrera for 10 days but allowed him
to stay on the police force.
The ACLU suit names Ruiz as the
plaintiff “and as representative of a
class of similarly situated individu
als.”
Defendants include Chief Rodri
guez, Barrera, City Manager Lou
Fox, the city, the San Antonio Police
Officers Association, Joseph Scuro
Jr. — lawyer for the association, and
John Leal — a police internal affairs
officer.
Harrington said the suit is based
on the ACLU belief that “what hap
pened to Ruiz is indicative of a pat
tern of what happened in the police
department.”
He said the suit seeks an injunc
tion “to stop this conduct,” and the
formation of a five-member citizens
advisory board that would partici
pate in reviews of police disciplinary
cases.
Harrington said the suit was ex
panded to a class action petition be
cause his office had received com
plaints of police misconduct from
about 20 people in San Antonio.
“The people of San Antonio are
entitled to have this abuse stop,”
Harrington said.
The ACLU earlier asked the U.S.
Justice Department to investigate
the allegations, but the federal
agency has not responded to the re
quest.
“We know nothing about it (law
suit) yet,” Police spokesman Paul
Buske said. “Our legal office has not
been served.”
Ruiz’s allegations reportedly have
been under review by a Bexar
County grand jury.
Ruiz, now stationed with the U.S.
Navy in San Diego, has claimed he
was Barrera’s ward for two years. He
says he lived with Barrera and the
officer’s wife and two daughters.

White Oil production
halted pending tests
Associated Press
AUSTIN — State District Judge
Harley Clark has set an Oct. 7 hear
ing on a request by “white oil” opera
tors to stop the Railroad Commis
sion from shutting down certain
wells in the Panhandle Field.
%
The commission announced
Wednesday that operators of 271
white oil wells had been instructed to
halt production by next Tuesday.
Of that total, however, operators
of 183 wells may be allowed to re
sume production if a second test of
their wells shows that they can qual
ify as oil instead of gas wells, com
mission officials said.
Operators of 269 white oil wells
were informed by mail that their
wells qualified as oil wells in recent
commission tests.
That designation is crucial be
cause an oil well can be drilled on 10
acres, but a gas well requires 640
acres. Oil wells are also allowed to
produce more gas than gas wells.
If a white oil operator owns only
oil rights, which is the case in most

AUSTIN — United Bank of
Texas completed a first step toward
dismantling its parent company this
week in a move to cut costs and re
verse operating losses, said bank
chairman Ruben H. Johnson.
Johnson said Wednesday the
holding company, United Texas
Bancshares, is an extra expense that
the sixth-largest bank in Austin can
not afford.
Plans to dissolve the holding com
pany were disclosed in a tender offer
Sept. 12 by United Texas
Bancshares to buy back 26,400
shares of preferred stock from
shareholders for $2.8 million.
The document also said a commit
tee of the United Bank board of di
rectors is examining the business _
dealings of Johnson with the bank
and with Fifteenth Street Building
Ltd.
At the request of Johnson, the
bank board of directors appointed a
committee to look into charges in
volving money Johnson received
from building contractor George Za-
palac.
The payment — which Johnson
called a developer fee — was made
known to bank officers and directors
and to federal regulators, Johnson
told the Austin American-Statesman
early this week.
The arrangement was similar to
other agreements in which, Johnson
has testified, he was paid $700,000
by Zapalac and another contractor,
Charles Morton, for interior con
struction on the offices of other
building tenants.

situations, the operator could not
produce from a gas well.
An oil well produces one or more
barrels of oil per 100,000 cubic feet
of gas. Several companies have al
leged that white oil operators use re
frigeration, or LTX, units to chill va
pors to liquid and count the water-
white liquid as crude oil to meet that
ratio.
The commission began testing
LTX wells on the basis of a May 13
order that required hydrocarbon liq
uids to be liquid in the reservoir, liq
uid in the well bore and liquid at the
surface.
Fourteen white oil operators or
interest owners sued to overturn the
commission order, and Clark ruled
Sept. 13 that the order was null and
void.
Lloyd Broussard, an Austin law
yer for white oil operators, said the
operators had exercised that option,
and also hoped to get Clark to sign a
final judgment in the case.
Any appeal would have to be filed
within 30 days of the signing of the
judgment, Broussard said.
