Overview
- Court documents say Gerardo Moreno Mendez sold the GLP-1 tirzepatide to at least three Crowley ISD teachers and staff in January.
- Tarrant County formally charged him on June 8 with delivery or offer of delivery of a dangerous drug, a felony offense.
- Moreno Mendez’s attorney says he voluntarily surrendered after learning a warrant was issued; he is free on bond and must return to court next month.
- Crowley ISD says he is no longer an employee while Godley ISD says he resigned before beginning work, and the attorney disputes parts of those district accounts.
- GLP-1 drugs like tirzepatide are prescription‑only, so unauthorized distribution can produce felony charges, and the case has raised questions about how routine background checks and hiring processes detect pending allegations.
