SAN ANTONIO — The family of Cecilia Huerta Gallegos is speaking out after a judge modified bond conditions for her husband, Reyes Gallegos, who is charged with her 2019 murder.

Cecilia’s sister, Mireya Lopez, said the decision to loosen restrictions on Gallegos' bond has left the family devastated and fearful.

“It’s mostly about our safety – my older sister’s safety, the kids’ safety – because he does know where she lives,” Lopez said.

Reyes Gallegos was arrested in August 2021 , more than two years after Cecilia was last seen alive. Authorities believe he killed his wife in July 2019 at their home on the city’s Northwest Side. Cecilia’s body has never been found.

Lopez said home surveillance footage captured Cecilia and Gallegos entering their bedroom on the day of her disappearance.
