It’s CLEAT. Combined Law Enforcement Associations of Texas.
Recently CLEAT, specifically the La Marque Police Association,was referenced in a fake email submitted by City Council Member Joseph Lowry. Mr Chicken Little, submitted this email to Council during executive session with concerns about extending the contract of Interim City Manager Holly. As the Galveston Daily News stated, the LMPA didn’t write the email. It is believed an investigation is ongoing as it should be. The individual who sent the email to Lowry, Impoliceassociation@gmail.com, immediately deleted the account.
CLEAT is now fishing for records between the former Police Chief, who resigned in disgrace, Cesar Garcia and Christine Turner. Cesar was the City Manager and resigned in Jan of 2025. Christine Turner is the Financial Director for La Marque. One thing is for sure. CLEAT is for CLEAT. Whatever they are fishing for with their Public Information Request 25-541 is in defense of CLEAT or the La Marque Police Association who has cuddled up with Joseph Lowry.
Galveston Police Detective Anthony C. Rogers and President of the LMPA is involved with Lowry. That can’t be good. Happy fishing!
Do yourself a favor and research who filed the recall against Mayor Keith Bell.
City Councilman Chicken Little, Lowry filed a recall petition and is now soliciting signatures. If he can obtain the required number of valid signatures the City will spent a considerable amount of time and money to put the recall to the voters. This isn’t the first time Lowry has submitted a recall petition. In 2022 prior to being elected to office, he filed a recall of Bell. It failed. Then he filed a recall against Council Member Yancy. It also failed.
The Yancy recall had some questionable signatures gained by telling those who signed, the petition was to keep Yancy on Council. Lowry told Click2Houston: ““I got wind of it yesterday and they terminated the employee. He was terminated and they threw out a hundred signatures that he had collected just to be safe,” said Lowry.”
La Marque residents might want to review Lowry’s past. I’ve listed 20 reasons that should concern everyone including the Domestic Violence Protective Order that was placed on him. Let me add a few more:
Lowry filed a “Assumed Name Record Certificate of Ownership for Unincorporated Business or Profession”, in other words, a DBA (Doing Business As) for two individuals without their consent. This is against the law.
Lowry has continued making sexually suggestive comments towards city employees including giving a female employee a cake with “Recall these balls”, referring to a female city employee as a “snatch’, and referring to a female city council member describing his small ball sack.
Lowry submitted a fake email from a law enforcement organizations to retaliate against the City Manager. There is an ongoing investigation and the organization has disavowed being involved.
He still owes back taxes for 2024 although has paid his delinquent taxes for 2021, 2022, and 2023.
Mayor Bell has filed a response to the fake allegations of the recall petition. If by chance he can get the signatures I could see legal action to invalidate the petition due to false information presented to the voters. We shall see….
As reported earlier Civil Case #202107817 TOMCZAK, MARTIN vs. SIX BROTHERS CONCRETE PUMPING LLC filed in Harris County was “Dismissed for Want of Prosecution. From what I read the plaintiff was unable to attend a hearing because of technical difficulties. A motion was filed and granted to reinstate the suit against Councilman Joseph Lowry the owner of Six Brothers Concrete.
The case concerns a non compete clause signed by Martin Tomczak. According to the court documents Martin claims Lowry threatened him and potential employers with lawsuits based upon this non compete document leaving Tomczak unemployed. One of the documents submitted to the court is a list of texts and correspondence from Lowry. You can read the entire 27 pages here.
Whose leg do you have to hump to get charged with sexual harassment at the workplace?
If you had sent a cookie cake to an employee with “Recalls These Balls”, or referred to a female employee as a “snatch”, or wrote a poem directed at a member of City Council referring to your ball sack, you would have been fired. Immediately. And possibly charged with sexual harassment. Yet so far law enforcement on all levels have done nothing against La Marque City Councilman Joseph Lowry contributing to a hostile work environment.
WTF are they waiting for? Lowry has been warned by the city attorneys to refrain from using sexually suggestive language towards city employees, yet he did it again. Twice. Once using the slur in a response to his Lousy News Network post and again in a video. (Comment is at 34:24). Yet nothing is happening and there is no main stream media attention to his actions.
This is gross behavior. It is illegal behavior. It’s beneath a human being. It needs to be addressed. He needs to be removed from Council. This just can’t go on any longer. 2026 needs to be the end of the line for Lowry.
The year was dominated by La Marque City Councilman Joseph Lowry.
Joseph Lowry. In 2024 the chaos in League City ended (pretty much) when Councilman Justin Hicks resigned in disgrace probably to avoid charges from the DA. That’s when Joseph Lowry and La Marque took over. In just over a couple of years Lowry has racked up quite a resume including multiple harassment lawsuits, police reports, a Domestic Violence Protective Order, multiple censures by the Council, failure to pay $43,000 in taxes, multiple media stories, multiple recalls, sexual harassment of La Marque employees, his Facebook page being deleted multiple times, and continuous public harassment of individuals on social media and in public. WHEW! You can review all of this here. His constant running around yelling about baseless criminal allegations against council and those who challenge him has resulted in the title of Chicken Lowry. Hopefully Lowry will make a deal with the District Attorney and do what Justin Hicks did and just go away in lieu of felony charges.
Scott Bowen got his ass kicked by CCISD parents who were fed up with his partisan attacks on public education. Instead they voted for a reasonable candidate and the Board and the District are better off for it. Bowen being caught on film sponsoring a resolution within the Republican Party in support of Vouchers didn’t help. He got hammered for it in the election. Bowen is now running for State Representative where he will take a knee to Greg Abbott and basically do what the fuck he is told what to do.
Galveston County Sheriff Jimmy Fullen got away with something even Hunter Biden couldn’t get away with. He falsified government documents. The falsification of his application to run for Sheriff was so egregious the Texas Commission On Law Enforcement recommended his law enforcement license to be revoked. Instead of admitting to breaking the law Fullen got off with a suspension back dated prior to his election as Sheriff. In other words they didn’t do shit. Lucky for Fullen his name wasn’t Hunter Biden.
Seabrook voters kept the city from taking over for League City rejecting 4 of 5 radical right candidates including Jackie Rasco running for Mayor. Seabrook has since been relatively quiet. Rasco as you remember was caught up in a nasty police situation at her home with a nosy neighbor, an intoxicated minor, a gun, $3000 worth of damage, and an arrest. She lost. Seabrook elected a very talented Mayor and Council.
Joe Machol, one of Scott Bowen’s recruited candidates ran against a sitting School Board Trustee, Jessica Cejka. Lucky for CCISD Machol lost, big time. Machol like the other Bowen recruits had no business being near a public school. He was one of the worst candidates to ever run for a school board election. Early in the campaign I asked why he was running against a very effective member of the board. He ghosted me.
Home Insurance continued to skyrocket with homeowners meeting to address the problem. Elected officials such as State Representative Dennis Paul who has sat on the insurance committee for the House and out State Senator Money Mayes Middleton have done nothing to curb the premiums. With elections coming up this year maybe the voters will vote their values and their pocketbooks.
NASA/JSC was facing site closing cuts to their budget with the proposed cutting of the Orion project, heavy launch vehicle, and the Moon Space Station all while our elected officials sat quietly with their thumbs up their butts. Cornyn and Cruz came to the rescue proposing to bring a real Shuttle from Washington DC to Houston. (It ain’t going to happen folks) Lucky for NASA the proposal was going to give 25% of NASA’s budget to SpaceX….until Musk got crosseyed with Trump.
In other news, the far left of the Harris County Democrats passed yet another worthless resolution against Mayor Whitmire giving us bad press and continuing to chase away the independent voters who are looking for effective leadership without drama. Speaking of drama, Judge Lina Hidalgo decided not to run for re-election. Good luck. Former Harris County DA Kim Ogg left the party. Good riddance. And Mayor Whitmire will probably not run for re-election. Good idea.
I wrote about my second trip staying in Terlingua. You can read about it here. I stayed again at the La Posada Milagro. It’s walking distance to the Starlight Theatre and other restaurants. It is a really nice place. Has a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and two patios.
My first day of hiking took me to the Big Bend State Park just a few miles down the road. I hiked the Closed Canyon Trail. It was absolutely perfect weather with most of the hike in the shade. It was a short trip only 1.5 miles round trip. It prepared me for the next hike to Emory Peak.
The Emory Peak Trail is a 10.3 mile hike with 2400 ft in elevation. Last year I was able to make it half way. This year I want to make it and I did. It took me 7 hours to finish and the beer at the car was very well deserved. It was the hardest trail I ever tried. The last 50 feet required rock climbing and scared some of the younger folks so I called it a win and started down after about an hour rest. Again perfect weather with a sweatshirt needed in the shade and a t-shirt in the sun. The last 1.5 miles I left my backpack in a locker provided by the park. It made the rest of the trip bearable. The last half mile was real tough. My legs were absolutely killing me but I made it!
The hike down was so much easier except for the steps. With my thighs on fire it was difficult! Thank goodness I had a good hiking pole. All in all the hike was VERY demanding but I made it!!! Next year I think I am going to Palo Duro Canyon but my 10 mile hiking days are over.
Texas State Senator John Whitmire speaks during the M-K-T Bridge reopening ceremony along the Heights Hike and Bike Trail, Friday, May 27, 2022, in Houston.
Stupid. Petty.
Gdamnit. We have a must needed win coming up in November. It’s not an option. We have an out of control dictator wannabe and a republican Congress who lost their balls and won/t hold him accountable. We have to right the ship, take over the House, and keep this god awful mistake of a human being from doing more damage to the country yet the Harris County Democrats are wasting their time and energy on a petty resolution against Mayor Whitmire.
Now far be it from me to defend Whitmire. He has been a huge failure as Mayor. Many expected him to use his 50 years of influence to fix our budget and get our gdamn trash picked up on time. He has failed but I am not going to waste my time fighting over a resolution in the Party to guarantee he will never be endorsed by the very party that doesn’t endorse candidates. It was nothing more than a complete waste of time and we might have lost more than expected.
A small minority of the Precinct Chairs passed a resolution to stop the Party from endorsing Whitmire in future elections. FYI Whitmire’s performance and his age has guaranteed that will never happen. What the Chairs didn’t realize is the harm they might have done to us in November. All we got was a flood of bad press making us look like the Petty Party of Politics. Governor Hot Wheels Abbott is going to spend 20 million to take over Harris County. We need every gdamn vote we can get to get a new County Judge, Commissioners, and Congressional leaders.
To pass a petty resolution by the far left of the party may turn off those voters who are looking for adult leadership. Independent voters are the biggest idiots on the planet and will look to the tinniest, most insignificant, petty, excuse to vote for someone else, like “I just don’t like her” or “emails”. The last thing they will vote for is another Lina Hidalgo spewing pettiness and driving off even members of her own party. Voters have had enough of the cowardliness of the Republican Party and the pettiness of the Democrats.
They want grown ups to lead. As I have said in the past Hidalgo and Whitmire both need to grow up at least for the next year. Do us a huge favor and do your damn job, shut the hell up, and don’t give voters yet another reason to stay home.
Or pass another worthless resolution to strip me of my political power. That I don’t have.
Joseph Lowry is like a constipated two year old. He is full of shit.
Last week Lowry was online crying about being the victim of a hostile work environment created by the City. He looked like someone had just called him out and he, of course, was attempting to flip the issue in his favor. He claimed the City had created a hostile work environment because they wouldn’t had carry the agenda to his lazy ass so he can do his job. (Councilman Compian has volunteered to print, deliver, and read the agenda to Lowry.) (Ok He isn’t really reading it but you get the idea)
Well it turns out that the law firm representing the city sent Lowry an email with a warning to stop making sexual harassment statements against the City Manager. Here is a snippet:
The phrase “corrupt little snatch,” directed at a female city official, employs vulgar slang with clear sexual connotations. This type of sexually charged and derogatory name-calling is inappropriate, unprofessional, and has the potential to contribute to a hostile work environment for city employees. Such language undermines the civility expected in public discourse, erodes public trust in our local government, and may expose the City to unnecessary legal risks.
This isn’t the first time Lowry has made sexual harassment statements. First it was the cookie cake with the message “Recall These Balls” delivered to a city employee. Then there is the cute little poem he wrote about a City Council Member referring to his tiny ball sack. You can see those below.
But that email hasn’t stopped Lowry from using the slur “snatch” when referring to the City Manager. He made the comment on his Lousy News Network and on another video. (Comment is at 34:24) I expect the City will take further action against Lowry and they should.
You have to wonder what it takes to get disbarred in Texas.
Harris County Department of Education Trustee Eric Dick was charged with 4 counts of unauthorized practice of law after solicitation clients in Hawaii after the Maui files in 2023. In December of 2025 Dick pled no contest to the charges. (See below) According to his plea he has to pay a fine of $220.
Dick is not up for reelection until 2030 but his wife Denise is running for a place on the HCDE Board in the 2026 Republican Primary.
Being charged for the Unauthorized Practice of Law is just another in a series of of bad news facing Dick including:
