Bay Area Houston

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.

What a bunch of assholes.

Yesterday the Galveston Municipal Police Association thought it would be cute to post the above on their social media platform after former President Joe Biden visited the island for the Juneteenth celebration. They received a boatload of comments, mostly negative, including one simply saying “What a bunch of assholes”. That was me. They have since TACOed and removed the post.

The GMPA is a non profit organization and according to their Facebook page “GMPA was formed to represent the interests and concerns of police officers within the Galveston Police Department”. They have a PAC that raised just over $15,000 in 2024 spending over $8,000 on the services of Wayne Dolcefino instead of an actual website. Dolcefino is a former journalist with KTRK. According to the Houston Chronicle Dolcefino torpedoed Turner’s chances for Mayor with a story that was deemed to be false. A jury awarded Turner $5.5 Million. Dolcefino is now a glorified blogger.

Biden’s visit was greatly appreciated by those attending the celebration. While in office Biden made Juneteenth a federal holiday. On June 19, 1865 enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, were finally informed of their freedom, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

The GMPA honored those who celebrated the occasion by being a bunch of assholes. It’s as if their goddamn parents didn’t instill a lick of fucking sense when it comes to shutting the fuck up. Sometimes that is all you have to do, just shut the fuck up, to act like a fucking human being.

If you can’t follow the law how can you enforce it? Remember that if one of your family members is arrested in Galveston County.

Yesterday a hearing was set concerning Sheriff Jimmy Fullen’s lawsuit against the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement. (See Galveston County Sheriff’s lawsuit against state licensing agency) The TCOLE had recommended pulling Fullen’s law enforcement license making him ineligible to serve as Sheriff. Fullen successfully challenged the recommendation claiming the Commission had no authority to revoke the license of a sitting Sheriff. So the TCOLE instead recommended a 10 year suspension. Fullen sued. The hearing was set. The hearing was cancelled.

Fullen’s lawyer, Toni Buzbee, and the Attorney General’s office will meet in mediation to resolve the issue. Yesterday Fullen was able to hide the results of his ethics violation for padding his campaign account with a fake $100,000 personal loan. Usually a complaint like this would end with a large fine but we will never know since he successfully lobbied to have the details of the investigation and the fine confidential. He eventually erased the personal loan off his campaign report as if it never happened.

So much for transparency. Or law and order.

Jimmy Fullen, candidate for Galveston County Sheriff, is under investigation by the Texas Ethics Commission (TEC) concerning a personal $100,000 loan he reported in his July 2023 campaign finance report. In February of 2024 that loan vanished. You can view all of his reports here.

Recently Fullen filed 4 amended reports concerning his multiple loans. His reports can be reviewed at the Galveston County campaign finance website. The amended reports list a loan from Mark Henry for $24,059.46, a personal loan for $32,000, and then a “personal loan from self was removed on form e”. That last one is bothering. It doesn’t list an amount.

But that was the $100,000 personal loan he reported on his July 2023 report. He claimed to have loaned his campaign the $100,000 on February 9, 2023. His amended report filed 20 months later simply removes this loan from the books exactly like the TEC complaint alleges.

The original issue was that he padded his campaign report making it look like he was rolling in cash when he actually wasn’t. His Cash on Hand should have been reduced from $204,000 to $104,000. During this reporting period he was running against an opponent in the primary. It has been my experience that the Texas Ethics Commission frowns upon padding a campaign report especially when the candidate has an opponent. Fullen’s treasurer hand writes all his reports. This wasn’t a technical error.

It seems clear that by filing this amended report he has admitted to padding his report and breaking the laws of the Texas Ethics Commission. If you can’t follow the law how can you enforce the law?

Here is another one.

Last month League City Mayor Pro Tem, Justin Hicks, campaign finance reports came under investigation by the Texas Ethics Commission. Hicks claimed an outstanding loan balance of $12,000 but never reported it in any previous reports. This month Jimmy Fullen is also now under investigation by the Ethics Commission for some possible violations.

As stated before half of Fullen’s donations in Feb of 2024 were in the form of a personal loan of $100,000 yet in the next campaign finance report that loan was gone. There was no sign the loan was paid off. It just looked like a way to pad his campaign account to look like it brought in over $200,000 for the period.

There are other strange loans and reporting but the $100,000 loan stands out. Fullen now has 10 days to respond to the complaint. As the letter to Fullen states:

 The TEC accepts jurisdiction over these allegations. This does not mean that the TEC has found that a violation occurred. It means that the sworn complaint meets the TEC’s legal and technical form requirements for accepting jurisdiction. 

This is some serious shit folks. Jimmy Fullen, candidate for Galveston County Sheriff, should ask Hunter Biden what happens when you falsify a government document.

Jimmy Fullen has some serious ethical issues that will be addressed after the election. The Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) has scheduled a hearing concerning Fullen’s falsifying government documents, a charge that could end with the revocation of his law enforcement license and possible felony charges. The allegations are serious and well documented at https://www.therealtruejimmyfullen.com.

Do yourself a favor. Go peruse https://www.therealtruejimmyfullen.com. It’s not just a list of very serious allegations, it is a list with supporting documentation. It is no wonder why the TCOLE issued the following statement after their investigation:

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.

In other words, he falsified a government document with the intent to harm someone, that being his primary candidate, and that is a felony. So where is the Galveston County District Attorney? These are very serious allegations about a candidate for the Chief law enforcement officer of the county. Lucky for Fullen the DA is a republican, has announced his retirement, and will probably give him a pass just like all the other elected officials who have endorsed him.

If Fullen’s last name was “Biden” the DA would have been all over him like a republican candidate for president on a porn star.

There is a serious ethical issue with the republican nominee for Galveston County Sheriff, Jimmy Fullen, but lucky for Fullen he is a Republican.

The Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) has recommended to revoke the law enforcement license of Galveston County Constable Jimmy Fullen for omitting his multiple records of misconduct on an official document. (His record of misconduct is available at https://www.therealtruejimmyfullen.com) If the full board agrees, Fullen will not be able to hold the office of Sheriff. The republican controlled TCOLE has agreed to a hearing with Fullen after the election leaving voters in the dark. All of this sounds so familiar.

Jimmy isn’t the only republican candidate or office holder with ethical, illegal, and immoral challenges. The top law enforcement officer, Ken Paxton, was impeached by the Texas House with overwhelming evidence of breaking the law. (Go read the official allegations and watch the hearings) Luckily his republican buddies in the Senate acquitted him, including local Senator Money Mayes Middleton. The civil suit against Paxton, which prompted this impeachment, will now continue guarantying another embarrassing display of evidence for all to ignore and a massive settlement which the taxpayers will pay.

Fullen has a long list of elected officials who are willing to ignore his lies and omissions on an official document just like they ignored Hunter Biden who was convicted on providing false information on official documents. (LOL. They actually cheered Biden’s conviction) They also have given a pass to those who beat up cops, incite a riot, steal classified documents, conspire to disrupt a government proceeding, and falsify documents.

This is the new Republican Party. The party that talks a great game about “law and order” and looks the other way when their buddies break the law but demand order from others.
