· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
A Mission man was sentenced to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to assaulting a family member with a deadly weapon. Miguel Mariscal III, 30, entered his plea on Monday, August 24, 2026, according to the Hidalgo County District Attorney's Office. The case dates back to November 16, 2024, when deputies from the Hidalgo County Sheriff's Office responded to a home in Mission after receiving an emergency call. Upon arrival, officers found Mariscal's wife unconscious and suffering from severe facial injuries. A medical evaluation revealed that the woman had sustained neurological injuries and strokes. Initially, Mariscal told investigators that he and his wife had been drinking and that he had lost consciousness, claiming he woke up to find his wife on the floor of the bedroom. However, as part of his guilty plea, Mariscal admitted to causing the serious injuries to his wife by hitting her with an unknown object. In addition to the 20-year prison sentence, the court determined that a deadly weapon was used and that there was family violence involved. The case was prosecuted by the Hidalgo County District Attorney's Major Crimes Unit and presided over by Judge Letty Lopez of the 389th District Court.
