El Paso Man, 53, Booked in Doña Ana County on Failure to Appear Warrant

Allegedly... Gustavo Mares, a 53-year-old resident of El Paso, Texas, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 2, 2026. Records indicate he was processed under booking number 2600007013 following an arrest at the West Valley Detention facility. He faces a misdemeanor charge of failure to appear and is currently held on a $2,000 bond. A failure to appear charge generally stems from a defendant not attending a scheduled court proceeding or hearing as required by a judicial order. The arrest at the West Valley facility suggests a transfer or service of an outstanding warrant issued by a New Mexico jurisdiction. This type of misdemeanor booking focuses on the procedural requirement for the defendant to address the underlying legal matter. The charges are allegations, and Mares is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
