— Mother's Occupation:
Nevarez turned himself in to authorities to be processed for felony charges of possession of a controlled substance on November 14, 2019. This followed a warrant that was issued for his arrest. The warrant was issued after surveillance allegedly captured him dropping an envelope containing cocaine at the Austin airport. The enveloped allegedly had Nevarez's House seal on it. After Nevarez turned himself in, Republican Reps. Phil King, James White, and Jeff Leach asked for Nevarez's removal as chairman and member of the Homeland Security and Public Safety Committee and as vice chair and member of the Select Committee on Mass Violence Prevention and Community Safety. House Speaker Dennis Bonnen stated that House rules prevented him from doing so. “It appears that Representative Nevarez is prepared to accept responsibility for his actions and we are hopeful that he is fully committed to getting any physical, mental, and spiritual help that he needs,” they wrote. “Nonetheless, as House Members and Committee Chairmen, it is our responsibility to ensure that the important work of this legislative body and the trust bestowed on our Chamber by the people of Texas is never compromised.” After the warrant was issued for Nevarez's arrest, he said, "I do not have anyone to blame but myself." He added that he planned to seek treatment. "I accept this because it is true and it will help me get better.”
