I hate to beat a dead horse. It makes me look petty. But then again, I can be petty.
Yesterday Justin Hicks disclosed who loaned his campaign the $12,000 he reported in July. Turns out it was from his wife, Deborah Hicks, who is also his campaign treasurer, who also forgot to list the loan on his campaign finance report. So that mystery is solved unless the Texas Ethics Commission wants to pursue this further to determine where the money actually came from. They have the power to subpoena bank records to determine if someone else provided the money for the loan but usually they will call it a day, assess a fine, and move on.
But the discussion on Facebook has led to more questions about Hicks’ bankruptcy case. According to public records Hicks was required to disclose all his assets including back accounts, cars, and other items like guns. (yes guns. Go figure) Documents submitted to the Court shows he did not have any guns or $12,000 in cash. If you recall Hicks had his house up for sale during his bankruptcy on Zillow. Zillow posted pictures, one includes a gun rack with 2 guns, which were not reported. Failing to report information on government documents could be a felony. Ask Hunter Biden. Maybe Hicks borrowed the guns for the picture and maybe he didn’t have to disclose his spouse’s assets since he filed for bankruptcy, not his wife. I wonder if witholding information is a violation of the rules of the court.
BTW. My 5 readers might remember Hicks pulled me into his bankruptcy case that resulted in the Judge assessing a fine of $175 for violating the rules of the court. I’m not bitter. LOL. You can read about it here.
If these are his guns then it is disturbing the guns are easily accessible even with a small refrigerator that could be a step to access them. Proper storage of weapons is a conservative value. It makes me wonder what kind of conservative doesn’t properly store his weapons or is not fiscally responsible, or doesn’t vote.
