La Nación, a major Costa Rican news outlet, reported on April 1, 2026, that a Texas court has appointed a new Spanish-speaking attorney to represent Celso Gamboa. According to La Nación’s posts on X (formerly Twitter), the new lawyer replaces Gamboa’s previous defense counsel.
In its first post at 01:12 UTC, La Nación stated: ” Tribunal de Texas nombra nuevo abogado a Celso Gamboa: habla español y reemplaza a su defensora https://t.co/q9EhxAA4sL”. A similar message was reiterated at 01:21 UTC: ” Tribunal de Texas nombra nuevo abogado a Celso Gamboa: habla español y reemplaza a su defensora https://t.co/IxNb9GUOxA”.
Later the same day, at 01:42 UTC, La Nación also published an unrelated update about Mimi Ortiz clarifying rumors regarding Toni Costa’s ex-partner and her interactions with his daughter. The post read: ” Mimi Ortiz aclara si la expareja de Toni Costa le prohíbe tomarse fotos con la hija de su pareja; esto fue lo que dijo https://t.co/siNWYlBNw6″.
Celso Gamboa is a former Costa Rican prosecutor and judge who has previously faced legal proceedings in both Costa Rica and abroad. The appointment of a Spanish-speaking attorney may address language barriers and ensure proper representation in the ongoing case in Texas.
