So much for “law and order” in Galveston County.
The First Investigation.
Last year a Texas Ethics Commission investigated Sheriff Fullen for a fake $100,000 loan to his campaign. Prior to the conclusion of that investigation Fullen simply removed the loan from his report as if it never happened, probably because it never did. The Commission finished their investigation and Fullen petitioned the TEC to hide the results from the public. From the TEC:
The second investigation
The second investigation came from the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement. A complaint had been filed against Fullen for falsifying his application for Sheriff. (you can read about the violations at https://therealtruejimmyfullen.com) This is what TCOLE stated concerning Fullen:
Specifically, Respondent omitted, failed to disclose, or provided false or untruthful information related to job experience, having been disciplined at work, having been fired or asked to resign from a place of employment, having been accused of discrimination, having been the subject of a written complaint at work, having failed to make or been late on a court-ordered payment, having been part of a civil lawsuit, and failing to disclose two arrests.
You can read the entire letter from the TCOLE here. The TCOLE called for his law license to be revoked and was scheduled for a hearing to do so, but Fullen sued. That suit was settled yesterday with the settlement to be disclosed at the December meeting. Interesting to note that Fullen has once again padded his campaign with a number of personal loans and there is no record of his expenditures for his legal defense provided by Houston attorney Tony Buzbee.
Falsifying government documents can be a serious violation, depending on who you are. Lucky for Fullen, he isn’t Hunter Biden.
