Bay Area Houston

No Place but Texas.

Local Congressmen Randy Weber CD14 and Brian Babin CD36 as well as Troy Nehls CD22 have refused to have in person town hall meetings. Troy Nehls whined to the Houston Chronicle about Governor Walz and former Congressman Beto O’Rourke calling them “losers” for coming into his district and conducting a town hall meeting. Over 3000 attended. Nehls has never held a town hall since being elected.

Weber and Babin have resorted to having TeleCowards. These are pre-recorded events with one way communication and answering predetermined questions. Neither have ever conducted a town hall meeting. All three are cowards. They talk tough but refuse to meet with their constituents. The only way a constituent can see their elected official is at an event held by the Chamber of Commerce. That event will cost you $35 and you will not be allowed to ask questions.

This is who they are. Afraid to defend the NAZI sympathizer Elon Musk and DOGE. Afraid to address their constituents. Hiding behind a telephone.

Praise the Lord? or WTF?

Jesus Christ! Deer Park Pastor Doug Harris of the Central Baptist Church used his sermon to condemn the “ungodly and immoral” lifestyle of a candidate for the Deer Park Independent School District. Over the last ten years Harris never used his sermon to condemn the “ungodly and immoral” lifestyle of Trump who porked a porn star. He didn’t condemn Trump for cheating on his wife, or causing the death of police offices on the steps of the capitol, making racist comments, mocking a disabled American, etc, etc, etc. But he did take his time to address this one individual and it has not gone well. According to ABC News:

“Truth be told, she has a lot of great experience and she is well-educated. The difficulty is in her morality. She lives a lifestyle that is ungodly and immoral,” Harris said during the March 16 sermon.

The front running candidate for DPISD is a well respected educator and has dedicated her entire career to educating children. She is a perfect choice to lead the district. The School Board agrees. The community agrees. Many have called for Harris to apologize. Others have called for his resignation. I personally have called the church and had a good conversation with the church staff. That individual totally agreed with my disgust.

From Angela Garcia, president of the Pasadena Educators Association:

“It’s just hard for me to understand how people can be so hateful to someone that’s really doing their best to guide our children and our school district in the direction that it needs to go,” said Garcia, whose two children were taught by Regan when she worked at Deer Park Junior High School.

You can take a moment and voice your opinion to the church at (281) 479-2662. I bet Harris voted for trump. Fuckin hypocrite.

You can’t make this stuff up.

The Houston Chronicle published an investigative article about Galveston County Judge Seth Jones and Galveston County Sheriff Jimmy Fullen. Jones and Fullen are buddies. Jones donated to Fullen for his campaign. Fullen appeared in campaign videos for Jones. They pal around with each other. They probably go fishing together and attend local crawfish boils hosted by Commissioner Hank Dugie. Jones was Fullen’s best man. (ok. that’s not true but you get the idea. They are buds.)

So guess who the Judge is for Fullen’s lawsuit against the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement? Yep. Judge Seth Jones. (Background here) According to the article:

“Whenever you’re looking at judicial ethics, the first thing you want to decide is, does it pass the smell test?” Teachey said. “Most of the time, if it feels like it’s stinky, it probably isn’t appropriate for a judge.”

This stinks as bad as the garbage cans at the League City Park after Hank Dugie’s crawfish boil. (Seriously 3 days after the event the smell was horrible for those going to the dog park.) Jones should recuse himself in this trial. It just stinks. Lucky for Fullen Jones is a republican whose party has shredded law and order. They will do anything, pardon anyone, and look the other way for all MAGA republicans no matter what the crime is.

Fullen is in good hands.

I’m beginning to feel sorry for him.

Eric Dick was fined $40,000 by the Texas Ethics Commission. A formal complaint was filed against him as a HCDE Trustee. Two judges in Harris and Galveston County sanctioned him in two different lawsuits. A judge recently questioned the signature of a dead inspector. And his wife filed for divorce. And now another case has surfaced.

Last month, a judge ordered Eric Dick, an insurance attorney and HCDE Trustee, to clarify how an inspector could have signed a document he submitted to the court after having died nearly a year earlier. Dick responded as did the attorneys for the insurance company Dick sued. Dick claimed it was the inspectors son that signed the documents, not the dead guy. I have my doubts about Dick’s response but that is for later. The Judge has yet to make a ruling on this.

But according to My San Antonio, Dick did it in 2023 with a lawsuit against USAA. According to the article Dick’s client claimed damage to his home from an explosion and filed suit. From My San Antonio:

Then, a series of peculiar incidents happened, primarily centered around everyone’s inability to get ahold of Mitchell. A court-ordered inspection and appraisal of damage was cancelled after nobody could get ahold of Mitchell. Then, his attorney said it’s because he died. Mitchell had, in fact, not died, and his attorney withdrew the death notification shortly before a hearing on the matter.

The response, by the attorneys representing USAA, is almost funny.

“Thus, based simply on the record, it appears that Mr. Dick expired the Plaintiff, revived him to answer interrogatories, and expired him once more,” a USAA Insurance motion fighting Mitchell’s claims states – an unusually candid response in a public document from the company.

The case was dismissed.

LOL. Mr. Transparency my ass.

Last year the Texas Ethics Commission began an investigation into Jimmy Fullen, candidate for Sheriff. Fullen padded his campaign account with a fake $100,000 loan. In an amended report he simply removed it from his reports prior to the TEC completing their investigation.

Today that investigation has been completed but Fullen petitioned the TEC to make it “confidential” and the investigation results, fines, or any other disciplinary action will be hidden from the public. Seems odd since Fullen ran on being Mr Transparency. Based upon other ethics fines I would bet he was hit fairly hard for basically padding his bottom line with a fake loan. As I said before:

As noted previously Fullen has removed his $100,000 loan from this campaign reports as if it never happened, probably because it really never happened. He padded his account making it look like he raised a shit load of money. He actually didn’t. In his latest report he has a loan balance of only $24,052 which came from Mark Henry. The $100,000 loan he claimed to have given himself magically disappeared.

Go fuckin figure.

I said it in the past about CCISD Trustee Scott Bowen in “Scott Bowen. A threat to CCISD Education:

• He encouraged extremist to come to the CCISD meetings and speak against public education causing disruption
• They focused on CRT, SEL, WRT, and bashing our LGBTQ friends and families.

And Jackie Rasco, candidate for Seabrook Mayor did just that. She seemed to enjoy bashing the gay community and rallying against rainbows in the classroom. It’s all on video. Watch it below. Maybe she should have consulted with Scott before attacking the gay community since Bowen’s family members are gay. It must have been a very uncomfortable 3 minutes for Scott or maybe he actually enjoyed it. Who knows?

I think Bowen is endorsing her based upon the photo above with failed CCISD candidate Misty Dawson, who Bowen recruited, standing next to a Scott Bowen cutout. You can watch Rosco’s 3 minutes of fame below.

I don’t know what to believe.

Eric Dick, HCDE Trustee and an insurance attorney, was given till March 7th to explain why it looks like a dead guy signed documents that he submitted in a case against Allstate. According to a previous post:

Today a Judge signed an order claiming Dick filed an affidavit from an expert named Richard Gadnow. The affidavit claims Gadnow had inspected a home and found damage. The signed affidavit by Gadnow was filed almost a year AFTER Gadnow died from brain cancer.

Dick claimed the Richard Gadnow who inspected the property and signed the documents was not the deceased but his son who is quite alive. Yesterday Dick filed a response which included his response, a declaration from the son, and a declaration from the Notary Public who witnessed the signature process. None of these documents were notarized but then again I don’t believe that is required. You can view the response from Dick here.

So now the ball is in the Judges court.

No Place But Texas. Literally.

OMG if Galveston County’s Sheriff Jimmy Fullen was named Hunter Biden he would have been cancelled yesterday. Instead Fullen has hired Tony Buzbee, the guy who got Texas Attorney General off the hook in his impeachment trial and has filed a lawsuit against the Commission On Law Enforcement (TCOLE). As you might remember TCOLE called for suspending Fullen’s law license because he did what Hunter Biden did, he falsified government documents. 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. That should be enough for any law enforcement official to be suspended but Fullen is special. He is just like former City Council Member Justin Hicks. He thinks he is above the law and he is willing to file a lawsuit to prevent TCOLE from taking any action against him. It is disturbing that Fullen has NOT denied the allegations against him. Sure he did exactly what Hunter Biden did but then again he is a MAGAt. He is special.

If you can’t tell the truth as an office of the law how can anyone believe anything you say? Hopefully Fullen will be put on the stand, under oath, and have to defend his actions, or lie about them. He still has a pending ethics complaint against him for an illegal $100,000 loan.

You can read the lawsuit filed by Fullen here.

This is bad.

I found an article titled “Texas Judge Threatens Charges Over ‘Dead’ Expert’s Signature” and thought could it be Eric Dick? It is and this is some pretty serious stuff. I know this not because I read the article (It’s behind a paywall) but because I was forward an order from the Judge of the District Court of the Southern District of Texas. You can read the order here but the last page is particularly damning:

Background:
Dick has been in the news for multiple sanctions by the Texas Ethics Commission for a total of $40,000, for a grievance filed against him at the Harris County Department of Education, for illegally soliciting clients in Hawaii after the fires, and other things. You can read about Dick here. Last year Dick was sanctioned by a Judge in Harris and Galveston County. Each Judge fined him $125,000. You can read the details here. Today a Judge signed an order claiming Dick filed an affidavit from an expert named Richard Gadnow. The affidavit claims Gadnow had inspected a home and found damage. The signed affidavit by Gadnow was filed almost a year AFTER Gadnow died from brain cancer.

Yep. Serious stuff. Dick has a hearing set for March 7, 2025 to defend his actions. It ought to be interesting. To compound all of this it looks like his wife might have gotten fed up with Dick:
