CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Joseph Tejeda, the longest-serving inmate in the Nueces County Jail, was transferred and is now in custody of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
It was just two months ago when Tejeda pleaded guilty to the murder of his ex-girlfriend Breanna Wood.
Sandra Vasquez, a co-defendant in the case who is also being charged in Wood's murder, is expected to be in court for a pre-trial hearing on Tuesday.
Her trial is expected to begin later this month.
