Dallas Police Officer Armando Jaramillo is out of a job after Chief Daniel Comeaux on Thursday fired the two-year department veteran over what officials called “adverse conduct” tied to a family violence arrest and related rule violations. Jaramillo, badge No. 12345, had served with the department since March 2022 and was working in the Northeast Patrol Division.
Department announces firing
According to the department's official blog, Chief Comeaux formally terminated Jaramillo during a disciplinary hearing on Thursday. The post states that Jaramillo was fired over his arrest by the Royse City Police Department on a charge of Assault Causing Bodily Injury - Family Violence, his involvement in a disturbance that drew a police response, and his failure to notify his chain of command after being named in a protective order, as reported by DPD Beat.
Earlier arrest and administrative leave
The trouble started back on Nov. 4, 2025, when Jaramillo was arrested in Royse City and booked into the Rockwall County jail on a family violence charge. Following that arrest, the Dallas Police Department placed him on administrative leave while it launched an internal investigation, according to The Dallas Morning News.
Department record and context
Chief Comeaux has been busy on the disciplinary front this year, with multiple hearings resulting in terminations and other sanctions. Those decisions are routinely posted on the department’s blog as internal cases move through the system, per DPD Beat. In the notice about Jaramillo, the department reiterates that he joined the force in March 2022 and was assigned to the Northeast Patrol Division at the time of his dismissal.
Legal and civil-service implications
Under Texas law, assault causing bodily injury filed as family violence is a Class A misdemeanor, which can carry up to one year in county jail and a fine of as much as $4,000, according to the Texas Penal Code. City personnel and civil-service rules give discharged employees the right to appeal their termination to a civil-service trial board or an administrative law judge, per the City of Dallas civil-service rules.
The department's brief online statement did not provide additional details about what led up to the Royse City arrest or the status of any criminal case. Local coverage at the time also noted that further information was not immediately available. This story will be updated as court records or official statements shed more light on the case.
