    That’s B. E. T. O.  Nickname derived from his initials.

    In July 2001, Beto’s father, County Judge Patrick O’Rourke was run over on Artcraft Road early on morning while riding his recumbent bicycle. Months prior to that, El Paso County Sheriff Deputies found cocaine hidden in the dashboard of Judge O’Rourke’s automobile. No charges were ever filed.

    Beto’s mother Melissa owned Charlotte’s Furniture. While I was in El Paso, she was caught issuing fake invoices on merchandise sold to people from Mexico to avoid paying sales tax. She was later forced by the Internal Revenue Service to close her business.

    Because of several altercations with the local police department when he was a teenager, Beto was sent away to an all-male boarding school in Virginia. He graduated in 1991 from Woodberry Forest School in Madison County, VA. In 1995, he was arrested for burglary in El Paso, after jumping a fence at the University of Texas at El Paso. No charges were filed. In 1998, Beto was arrested for DWI and fleeing the scene of an accident. Charges were dropped after he completed a court-recommended DWI program.

    Beto won his first political office in mid-2005. He ran for city council against corrupt incumbent Anthony Cobos, who later served four years in a federal prison in Colorado for conspiracy to commit mail fraud and “deprivation of honest services.”
