Attorney Neil Calfas Arrested in San Antonio on Prostitution and Human Trafficking Charges
Texas Attorney Taken into Custody During Law Office Raid
Neil Calfas, a 56-year-old attorney based in San Antonio, Texas, United States of America, was arrested on August 12, 2026, after law enforcement officials executed a search warrant at his legal office. The operation was carried out by agents from the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), specifically from their Criminal Investigations Division.
Authorities arrived at the Calfas Law Group, located in the 100 block of Broadway near East Houston Street, early Wednesday morning. Witnesses reported seeing agents loading various items, including a white box, into a DPS vehicle outside the building.
According to a DPS spokesperson, the charges against Calfas include solicitation of prostitution and human trafficking. These serious allegations highlight a disturbing trend in the ongoing fight against human trafficking in Texas and across the nation, emphasizing the vigilance required among legal professionals.
The arrest came after a Bexar County judge signed the warrant based on evidence presented to the court. Sources indicate that the investigation into Calfasโ operations had been ongoing prior to the raid.
Calfas, who is well known in the San Antonio legal community, now faces mounting legal challenges as law enforcement continues their investigation. The DPS is expected to provide additional details as the case develops, and Calfas's professional conduct is under significant scrutiny.
The arrest of an attorney on such serious charges raises broader questions about ethics and accountability in the legal profession, particularly regarding cases of human trafficking, which have increasingly come under the spotlight in recent years.
As the investigation unfolds, the status of any potential ramifications for Calfas within the Texas bar association and further legal implications remain to be seen. Currently, DPS stated that the investigation is ongoing, urging the public to refrain from speculating until more information is available.
This incident underscores the ongoing commitment by Texas authorities to combat human trafficking and maintain integrity within the legal system. Further updates will be published as this story develops.
