A former San Antonio Police Department officer is under investigation after church security cameras allegedly captured him walking toward classroom windows at St. Monica Catholic Church in Converse before exposing himself, according to police. The incident allegedly occurred on August 21, and the Converse Police Department is investigating the case.
According to KABB, church security footage showed the former officer dressed in women's clothing as he walked toward classrooms on the church grounds before lifting his clothing to expose himself. The report references classrooms on the church grounds.
Incident Reported on August 21
The alleged incident was reported on August 21, according to the report. The available account does not provide details about any prior safety training at the campus.
The available account describes an investigation by the Converse Police Department but does not state whether charges have been filed or where prosecution would occur.
What Texas Law Says About Indecent Exposure Charges
Under Section 21.08 of the Texas Penal Code, a person commits indecent exposure if they expose their anus or genitals with intent to arouse or gratify sexual desire while acting recklessly about whether another person present would be offended or alarmed. A first offense is classified as a Class B misdemeanor in Texas, according to FindLaw.
The penalties escalate sharply for repeat offenders. Section 21.08(b) of the Texas Penal Code raises a second indecent exposure conviction to a Class A misdemeanor, and a third or subsequent conviction to a state jail felony, per WomensLaw.org. The cited sources do not address whether a single deferred adjudication or conviction, or a second violation, triggers sex-offender registration in Texas.
Recent Scrutiny of SAPD Officer Conduct
The case adds to a string of recent disciplinary matters involving San Antonio police personnel. The source reports that SAPD fired Officer Hannah White; her indefinite suspension began in March 2026, and detention officers later found a bag of white powdery substance in a suspect's socks during jail processing, according to KSAT. Separately, the available sources do not establish details about any disciplinary matter involving off-duty Officer Juan Pena.
It remains unclear whether the former officer at the center of the Converse investigation resigned or was terminated from SAPD prior to the alleged incident at St. Monica Catholic Church, and whether prosecutors intend to pursue additional charges. The available account describes the case as under investigation.
