SAN ANTONIO – Three months after being appointed the chief of the Civil Rights division in the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office, Jeff Mulliner resigned from the position.

On July 31, the DA’s Office announced that Mulliner would succeed Daryl Harris as the head of the division that prosecutes officer-involved shootings, in-custody deaths and allegations of excessive use of force by law enforcement.
Harris was removed from the position after several cases of former SAPD officers accused of committing crimes ended in mistrials.
Mulliner, who did not answer a call or text to his cell phone Thursday, joined District Attorney Joe Gonzales’ office in 2023 as a first chair prosecutor in the criminal trial division.
Mulliner, whose last day will be Nov. 14, would have been the prosecutor in the case of former Officer James Brennand, who was accused of aggravated assault by a public servant. Mulliner would have also been the prosecutor in the case where three officers were charged in the death of Melissa Perez.
“We wish Jeff the best of luck and thank him for his time and unwavering commitment to bringing justice to crime victims while serving as a valued member of our office,” Bexar County District Attorney Joe Gonzales said in a statement.
The DA’s office said it will search for Mulliner’s replacement to avoid delays in any pending cases.
