GUADALUPE COUNTY, Texas – A former Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD substitute teacher facing child injury charges was released from Bexar County custody less than a month after facing similar charges in Guadalupe County.
Schertz police said its school resource officers received a report on Oct. 3 from two juveniles involving allegations against Yorllin Hernandez, 42, when he worked as a substitute at Rose Garden Elementary School.

The report accused Hernandez of physically assaulting the children, which is considered a third-degree felony.
Schertz police said its officers arrested Hernandez on Wednesday. He was charged with two counts of injury to a child and transported to the Bexar County Adult Detention Center.
Each child injury charge against Hernandez was worth $15,000, which totaled $30,000 in all. According to Bexar County jail records, Hernandez bonded out of custody around 2:15 p.m. Thursday.
Last month, Cibolo police arrested Hernandez on Sept. 27 at Jordan Intermediate School on two counts of injury to a child.
Hernandez was booked into the Guadalupe County Jail and faced a $5,000 bond on each charge, totaling $10,000. He bonded out of Guadalupe County custody on Sept. 28.
In all, Hernandez is facing four child injury charges: two in Bexar County and two more in Guadalupe County.
In a Sept. 27 SCUCISD letter obtained by KSAT, the district said Hernandez will not return to SCUCISD in any future capacity.
According to the district, Hernandez was a substitute teacher employed by ESS, a third-party education staffing company.
ESS is “responsible for the hiring, training, and placement of substitute teachers, aides and clerical positions,” SCUCISD said on its district’s website.
