Judge Oscar G. Gabaldon: Professional Background and Legal Expertise

Biography

The Hon. Oscar G. Gabaldon (deceased) served as an associate judge on the 65th District Court of Texas. Gabaldon was appointed to the bench in 2001. He retired in 2014 and became an assistant city attorney for the El Paso City Attorney’s Office.

The 65th District Court covers El Paso County. Gabaldon held assignments on the Child Protection Court and the Prevention Family Drug Court.

Prior to his appointment, Gabaldon was a senior trial attorney with the El Paso County Attorney’s Office, a position to which he was named in 2000. During his tenure there, he prosecuted Child Protective Services cases involving child abuse and neglect.

Gabaldon earned a B.A. in philosophy from the University of Texas at El Paso in 1979. He then completed a J.D. at South Texas College of Law in 1982. He was certified as a specialist in Child Welfare Law by the American Bar Association and the National Association of Counsel for Children.

After graduating from law school, Gabaldon entered into private practice. He worked in that capacity until 2000, supplementing his practice with service as a state child welfare attorney (1984 to 1988), an assistant regional attorney (1988 to 1992), and a regional attorney (1992 to 2000).

His memberships included the El Paso Bar Association, the Federal Bar Association, the American Bar Association, the National Association of Counsel for Children, and the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges. He was also involved with the El Paso Coalition for the Homeless and Casa Blanca Therapeutic Communities, Inc., and he served on the board of directors of the Apostolate of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

He was a recipient of the Parent Leader of the Year Award from the Border Children’s Mental Health Collaborative (2005) and the Humanitarian Award from Aliviane, Inc.

Gabaldon and his wife, Martha, raised three children. Before pursuing a legal career, he studied for the Roman Catholic priesthood, graduating from St. Thomas Seminary College & School of Theology and the Iliff School of Theology. When not presiding over legal proceedings, he loved to play the guitar and sing.

He passed away on December 3, 2020.
