Ina Marie Minjarez (born March 27, 1975) is a lawyer and a former Democratic member of the Texas House of Representatives representing District 124 in San Antonio, Texas. She was sworn into office on April 30, 2015, after winning a special election on April 21.[1] She served as Assistant District Attorney for Bexar County from 2000 through 2006.

Minjarez handily won election to her second full term in the general election held on November 6, 2018. With 31,674 votes (67.6 percent), she topped her conservative Republican challenger, Johnny S.
