W her e
A Greek philosopher once said, “The only constant in life
is change.” With that in mind, I am honored to have been
selected as the 118th President of the San Antonio Bar Association. Many generations of San Antonio lawyers and
our Past Presidents who were tasked to lead this prestigious organization have witnessed the constant evolution
of not only our Bar but of the entire legal industry. The era
of learning from the past is quickly coming to an end. We
must now adapt to the incredible technological advancements which have been thrust upon us to learn from the
future!
As you know, every year we elect a new Board and a
new President. We come and go like passengers in a taxi
who tell the driver where they want to go but rely upon the
driver’s knowledge and skill to get them there. As some of
you may know, our Bar has had almost a complete transition of staff and leadership in the past two years. First and
foremost, our beloved Jimmy Allison, now Director Emeritus, retired after fifty years of dedicated leadership. He was
the face of SABA, and I was privileged to have worked with
him and for him as a Director and Officer of this Board.
As our respective terms began and ended, Jimmy was the
constant in charge of the operation and success of SABA.
Now, upon his retirement, we have a new leader: Larkin
Chenault. He comes to us with excellent credentials, having been successful in inspiring the growth of and the restructuring of several similar-size bar associations.
With new leadership come new ideas and a renewal
of the dedication of the
Board’s service to the
membership of SABA.
Larkin has confidently,
and with firm direction, taken over the
“Uber”
responsibilities of SABA,
though we, as your
elected Board, still
d o w e go from her e ?
have the responsibility of telling him where to go!
In that regard, I assume the presidency with an excellent slate of officers, each of whom is willing and able to
unseat me at any moment. I have witnessed their dedication and stewardship of this Association through truly difficult and challenging times. I am confident that the change
we have been through in the last several years will greatly
benefit the membership of SABA in the years to come. Our
new SABA Board reflects the diversity of our membership
in ways that not only truly reflect the changing needs and
desires of our individual members but also reveals the
strengths each unique segment of our Bar has to offer each
other. Our staff has steadfastly and earnestly toiled through
the transition of not only their predecessors, but also their
boss, their new Board of Directors, modified CJP partnerships and lastly, their move from offices occupied by SABA
for literally generations to new offices down the hall.
Most importantly, I cannot look forward without reflecting backward on the man whose leadership, professionalism and wisdom guided our Board and our membership through the greatest transition since Jimmy Allison
assumed the helm 50 years ago. The stewardship of Past
President Marty Truss was truly leadership by example.
Thank you Marty, for your devotion and for a great year!
I also want to thank June Moynihan of the SABF, who directed what was probably the best Law Week luncheon we
have ever hosted for our membership!
Now, where do we go from here? I will let you know
as soon as the SABA walls quit spinning! Needless to say, I
have plans this year that I would love to implement. More
importantly however, I would like to know what plans our
members believe we need to create a stronger, more cohesive and responsive organization for all of us and the community we serve. I look forward to hearing your ideas and
to learning from you, our membership, our SABA future!
Robert J. “Bobby” Barrera
“I
cannot look forward without reflecting backward on the man

Thank you Marty, for your devotion and for a great year!”

CJP Advanced: Whitley and Gonzales Take Pro Bono Further
The CJP would like to express its
sincere gratitude to two attorneys who
stepped up to help a low-income client who needed a little more help than
the program usually provides. Deanna
Whitley (pictured above on the left) and
Rosie Gonzalez (on the right) partnered
on a CJP Advanced case. Whitley is the
managing partner of The Whitley Law
Firm, and Gonzalez’s firm is The Law
Office of Rosa Maria Gonzalez. Both attorneys are family law practitioners and
offered their expertise when a CJP case
needed a few more steps than normal.
The client’s previous attorney was
unable to continue on the case due to
a few minor complications, so Whitley
and Gonzalez jumped right in and were
able to assist the client and finalize the
case with a proper decree and prove up.
Despite their heavy caseloads, both at-
torneys were more than happy to lend
their time to assist a low-income person
in need. The CJP appreciates their support of a pro bono client outside of the
usual CJP clinic setting.
“I just really didn’t know what I was
going to do when my previous attorney
couldn’t continue,” the grateful client
expressed. “I was scared I couldn’t get
divorced and have what I needed to continue being the caregiver to my children.
I needed to move out of the area and I
was amazed these ladies were able to
help me get this finished and wrapped
up so quickly. They were so nice and really knew what they were doing. Thanks
to your program and those attorneys, I
can restart my life and have a sigh of relief for something that has been a struggle for so long.”

Thank you, USAA!
The
Community Justice Program
would like to extend
a sincere thanks to
USAA for its continued partnership
with the CJP Veterans Clinics.
These
clinics
serve those who served us by offering legal advice and will preparation to low-income veterans
and their spouses. The CJP is honored to have
the support and participation of USAA staff at
its Veterans Clinics. Thank you to everyone at
USAA for showing such a strong support to pro
bono efforts and our local veteran community.

their time and talents to the June 17th Veterans Clinic at the Audie L.
Murphy Veterans Hospital. All four of these dedicated attorneys are regular volunteers at the CJP Veterans Clinics and have been coming for many
years to support and serve those who have served the country. The CJP
appreciates each of these attorneys for all they have done for the CJP and
low-income clients in our area.
