Thirteenth Court of Appeals Justice Rudy Delgado, who’s under indictment for bribery in federal court, has won an argument to transfer his trial from Houston to McAllen so that he, his family and witnesses won’t have to drive 13 hours roundtrip across Texas.

U.S. District Judge Alfred H. Bennett of the Southern District of Texas in Houston on Monday granted a change of venue for the trial of Delgado, who’s pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to commit bribery concerning programs receiving federal funds, obstruction of justice, three counts of federal program bribery, and three counts of Travel Act violations.
