Charles R. Borchers (March 19, 1943 - June 27, 1997) was a lawyer in Laredo, Texas, who served as the Democratic district attorney of Webb County from 1975-1984. He was initially appointed to the post to complete a vacancy and was then elected to full terms in 1976 and 1980. He did not seek reelection in 1984 but returned to the private practice of law. Thereafter, he was a trustee of the United Independent School District and the board president from 1986-1991. Borchers was born in Laredo to Elmore Herman Borchers, Sr. (1906-1990), a Laredo attorney, and the former Angela Scovazzo, who grew up in Galveston. He graduated from the Roman Catholic St. Joseph's Academy, where he played basketball. In 1963, he received his bachelor of arts degree from Catholic St. Edwards University in Austin. In 1966, he procured his law degree from the University of Texas at Austin. Borchers died of cancer at the age of fifty-four. He was the husband of the former Celita Pappas, a sister of Texas State Senator Judith Zaffirini of Laredo. He had two brothers, E.H. Borchers, Jr., a dentist in Laredo, and Ralph Borchers, who was living in Guatemala at the time of his brother's death, and a sister, Mrs. George Powell. Borchers was interred in the Catholic Cemetery in Laredo. Borchers is remembered by (1) his bust in the Webb County Courthouse and (2) the naming of the Charles Borchers Elementary School in northeastern Laredo, and (3) two annual scholarships in his name from the Young Lawyers Association of Laredo.
