We are overjoyed and relieved to share the news that on October 27, 2026, in Taos County District Court, a jury of his peers returned a verdict of not guilty on all criminal charges against our owner, Gil Graves.
The road to this moment has been long and challenging, but the truth has finally prevailed. We are incredibly grateful to the legal team that fought tirelessly for justice, with a special thank you to attorney Day Thornton for his unwavering dedication and expertise throughout this complex case.
Most importantly, we want to express our deepest gratitude to the people of Tres Piedras and the countless friends and patrons of the Chili Line Depot. Your support—whether through a kind word, a visit to the shop, or simply standing by us in spirit—provided the strength needed to navigate this ordeal. Knowing that our community had our backs made all the difference.
We look forward to putting this chapter behind us and continuing to serve you all with the same passion and hospitality you’ve always known. Thank you for believing in us.
