Multiple sources told KPRC 2 News that since February, the two were under investigation related to alleged inappropriate behavior on campus.
Prior to working for Lamar CISD, state records show Garcia and Molina worked together at the Stafford Police Department for years, but two months after Garcia became the chief at Lamar, records show Molina got hired at the school district police department as well.
Molina got promoted to lieutenant over the Office of Professional Standards in July 2025, according to Lamar CISD’s website, in which she “ensures the efficient and ethical operation of department members.”
As of Wednesday morning, both of their photos and biographies are still listed on the Lamar CISD website.
When KPRC 2 News called the Lamar CISD Police Department and asked for Chief Garcia in February, the person who answered the phone said he wasn’t available, and they were unsure the next time we’d be able to call back to talk to him.
In February, the school district confirmed two officers were placed on administrative leave for a third-party investigation and two lieutenants began serving in interim leadership roles “to ensure continuity of operations.”
Lamar ISD released the following statement:
“Lamar CISD has experienced recent personnel changes within its Police Department. These changes were the result of a matter isolated between officers and did not involve students, district resources, or campus operations. There is no impact to our campuses, and all safety protocols and procedures remain in place and continue to be followed. We understand there has been interest in this matter. As with all personnel-related situations, the district does not provide immediate public comment while established processes are underway. While those changes have occurred, this matter remains active within the district’s established processes, and the district is limited in what it can share. The safety and security of our students and staff remain our top priority, and campus and district operations continue without disruption.”
