HARRIS COUNTY, Texas – All charges have been dropped against Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez’ Chief of Staff Jason Spencer after a grand jury declined to indict him Tuesday.
This comes more than two months after KPRC 2 first reported Spencer was no longer facing charges in Montgomery County in another case where he was accused of violating a protective order.

Spencer was initially accused of violating the conditions of a bond and protective order when he went to his ex-wife’s house on May 24.
His attorney said he was there to pick up one of his children.
At the time, Spencer was not supposed to go near the home or communicate with any member of the family who lived there.
A Montgomery County judge agreed that as long as Spencer’s communications were not abusive or harassing, he could pick up his child. The judge also made that ruling retroactive to May 7, dismissing the charge.

The grand jury did not indict Spencer on the injury to a child charges Tuesday. Spencer was charged in connection to a 2023 incident where a teenager was injured. Court documents say the original incident happened on Sept. 15, 2023.
According to the documents, Spencer grabbed the then-14-year-old boy by his hoodie and slammed him against a bedroom wall. The boy then fell and hit his head on a bed frame. The boy allegedly told police he ran downstairs trying to get away, at which time Spencer grabbed a plastic gun case and threw it at him, causing him to fall down the stairs and land on his face. Spencer then allegedly held the boy down by his arms while he was on the floor.
The documents say the teenager had bruising to his back as well as multiple abrasions, bruises, as well as a small hematoma to his skull. He also had multiple abrasions to his left wrist, right arm, back and face.
