Julio Arnoldo Garcia, Sr. (July 2, 1941 – October 16, 2008) was a prominent attorney from Laredo, Texas, defined by a headline writer as a "legal lion" known for his passion, shrewdness, and theatrics in the courtoom." Garcia also served from 1981 to 1988 as the Democratic district attorney of the 49th Judicial District of heavily Hispanic South Texas. The district then included Webb, Zapata, Dimmit, and Jim Hogg counties, but it is now confined to Webb and Zapata counties.
