Galveston County DA: Acquit Or Get Off The Pot.

August 1, 2026

UPDATE: CJ Beard is scheduled to appear in County Court at Law #3 this Friday, August 7, 2026, before Judge Jack Ewing. Beard’s legal team will request the case—which has stretched on for nearly two years—be dismissed or immediately set for trial. Assistant District Attorney Casey Kirst is assigned to the case, though Kirst failed to attend the previous hearing. See you Friday!

How Long Does Galveston County Need to Resolve a Simple Misdemeanor?

Re: Case #MD-0426868 (Galveston County)

In October 2025, Texas City resident CJ Beard was charged with an “adult misdemeanor”. The complaint stems from a post involving La Marque City Councilman Joseph Lowry—specifically, publishing information about Lowry in the same manner Lowry routinely does to others. Nearly two years later, the Galveston County District Attorney’s Office has yet to adequately review the complaint or prepare its case. On Friday, Beard was back in court only for the DA’s office to ask for yet another continuance.

The conflict began when Lowry went to the police after his address was posted on Facebook, demanding immediate prosecution. This follows a familiar pattern: Lowry instigates and harasses, then contacts law enforcement the moment someone stands up to him. His extensive history of police complaints includes reports of a vandalized garden gnome, flat tires, and even claims of threats involving pigs (read the report here). His recent complaint against a First Amendment auditor was classified as “UNFOUNDED”—though it still resulted in an arrest before charges were dropped a day later. (A lawsuit against the County may be coming)

Unfortunately for Beard, his case hasn’t been resolved in a single day—it has dragged on endlessly while remaining active.

Meanwhile, Lowry has repeatedly posted private information about local residents on his Lousy News Network—including mine (see the full list of individuals targeted over the years here). He has even gone as far as filing County “Doing Business As” (DBA) documents using the names of people he has targeted (county documents here). Filing false government records is a felony, yet the DA’s office refuses to address it. (ask Hunter Biden)

Instead, the District Attorney’s office seems bogged down prioritizing cases like chasing First Amendment auditors and investigating stolen garden gnomes. It is time for the Galveston County DA’s Office to show some accountability: either move forward with prosecution, or drop the charges against CJ Beard once and for all.

In short, either acquit or get off the pot.


La Marque Council Member Loses Back Taxes Lawsuit

July 31, 2026

Again.

This is the second time La Marque City Councilman Joseph Lowry has been sued for back taxes. This time in Case # 26-TX-0085 Lowry’s concrete pumping company, Six Brothers, owes over $27,000 to multiple entities. In his first case Lowry eventually paid his taxes and the suit was dismissed. That cost him $43,000.

But in this latest case he simply didn’t show up and the judge issued a default judgement for over $27,000. According to the judgement, the County can now place liens on his Concrete Pumping business.

You can read the entire judgement issued by Judge Jeth Jones here.


Texas City Police Slaps Down La Marque City Councilman

July 24, 2026

The police report filed by Lowry is ridiculous, preposterous, outrageous!

In a previous post I listed an incomplete list of police reports filed with the La Marque Police Department by Councilman Joseph Lowry. More will be posted soon but Lowry is now filing with the Texas City Police. Lowry was whining about one of his stalking victims, Harvey Freebird. Harvey was getting an oil change and just so happen to visit the same oil change station that Lowry and his beautiful bride was at.

Needless to say Lowry jumped into his conspiracy theory that Harvey was now stalking him and called the police. He filed report #TCPD26-003722. The police jumped into action, dispatching police with sirens blaring and lights flashing. They quickly surrounded the oil change business like ICE jumping on a Mexican grade school student. (Ok that is a bit of an exaggeration) Actually the police came, they listened, they wrote a report, and they found the complaint UNFOUNDED. In other words Lowry was nothing but a whiny little bitch again.

Needless to say I bet Lowry is madder than a wet hen and will be calling the Texas City Police criminals, corrupt, and compromised. Compound this with the fact that his city provided cell phone has been disconnected, his Facebook page has been deleted, and he has been outed as using a fake Facebook account of Jon Jon McMuffin’s. It’s been a bad week for hime. You can read the entire report here.


List of Police Complaints Filed by La Marque Councilman

July 21, 2026

This is just insane. This is coming from a sitting, elected, Council Member.

La Marque City Councilman, Joseph Lowry, is well known for running to the La Marque police department and filing a police report for everything from name calling to pigs eating people (seriously). Below is a list of complaints filed from 1/1/2023 – 3/20/2025. You can view the entire list of complaints with all the investigation details here. It is a searchable PDF file and you can easily find each case by searching for the case number.

This list will be updated once La Marque releases the data for the time period 3/20/25 – 6/30/26. BTW he filed another report with the Texas City police just yesterday claiming harassment at an oil change business. Some of the most notable complaints include:

  • Lowry received a postcard with a picture of pigs. He believed that was a threat because pigs eat people. He asked for the postcard to be taken and dusted for fingerprints. (seriously)
  • Multiple reports concern a child refusing to go with Lowry. These are disturbing to say the least. Reference case #24-02297
  • He has various complaints concerning name calling and being approached at a restaurant claiming harrassment
  • He has a number of complaints about phone calls.

This list does not include the now famous complaint about someone destroying his garden gnomes. I am sure the police department has issued a BOLO for the alleged perpetrators.

The Who’s Who of Who has been Harassed by La Marque City Councilman

July 12, 2026
Ain’t that some SHIT

Before tomorrow’s city council meeting I thought I would compile this list. I will not name names except for the obvious. These are the people La Marque Councilman Joseph Lowry has harassed over the last few years. Some have filed for protective orders. Some have sued. Some are expected to do so in the near future.

I am sure I missed some.


Harassment Charges by La Marque Councilman are Dropped

July 10, 2026

You can smell a lawsuit a mile away.

As I wrote a few days ago, Harvey Freebird was arrested on July 4th for a harassment complaint by La Marque City Councilman Joseph Lowry. It probably was due to the incident in the parking lot of the Galveston County Courthouse which Harvey recorded. Lowry called the police who investigated Harvey, viewed his video, and cleared him. Later Lowry entered the courtroom with a police escort much like a whiny ass little bitch.

But today those charges have been dropped by the District Attorney’s Office, but not forgotten. There are a lot of questions remaining to be answered. Was law enforcement illegally using the FLOCK cameras to track Harvey? Who signed the warrant for his arrest? Who wrote the warrant? Why was a warrant approved? What was the basis for granting a warrant in the first place? And what did Lowry and/or his wife have to do with this?

If I was Harvey I would be asking these questions and demanding answers.


La Marque Councilman Loses Lawsuit Against the City (Again)

July 8, 2026

UPDATE: Looks like Lowry has to pay the appeals court costs. See page two below.

What an incredible waste of tax dollars.

Back in April of 2022 City Councilman Joseph Lowry filed suit against the City of La Marque, members of the Council and the Police Chief. He lost that case and appealed it. Today the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals Case #25-40519 affirmed the lower court’s decision against Lowry. In his original lawsuit Lowry alleged under 42 U.S.C. (\S ) 1983 that officials retaliated against and censored him by removing yard signs, verbally attacking him, and banning him from posting on the city’s Facebook page. Yes, he sued the City for someone allegedly removing his campaign signs, probably calling him a fat ass, and banning him from myspace. (LOL)

The United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas Case# 3:22-CV-112 issued a summary judgement against Lowry back in April of 2022. For over 4 years the City had to litigate this case spending tax dollars on such a worthless case. Lowry has a habit of being sued and filing frivolous suits like this one. Lowry likes to mess with peoples campaign signs as well as verbally attacking people and banning them from his own Facebook pages.

Well now he lost. Again. He could be a fool and appeal it to the Supreme Court but what kind of an idiot lawyer would take such a worthless case?


Galveston County Law Enforcement. Is it About Race?

July 8, 2026

You have to wonder.

You have to wonder why Galveston County and La Marque Police ignore complaints filed concerning harrassment by people of color concerning La Marque City Councilman Joseph Lowry but when Mr. Harrassment himself files a complaint they issue a BOLO, jump into action, activates the SWAT team and jumps on the alleged perpetrator like Lowry on a box of cinnamon sugar donuts.

There have been many complaints filed with the La Marque Police Department and the District Attorney’s Office asking for help yet they take no action. People of color have called press conferences asking law enforcement to take action and curb the abuse by Lowry before there is violence. They have filed complaints of being harassed at home, church, on the street, and even while trying to enjoy a family dinner at Roadhouse. Yet they do nothing. Many have spoken at City Council detailing accounts of harrassment by Lowry. There are complaints filed with the DA’s office about impersonating a law enforcement officer and filing false documents with the county. Yet nothing. Suits have been filed against Lowry for harrassment and defamation and yet law enforcement is silent. This abuse been going on for years all documented by The Mark, a Facebook page and yet no action is taken. But….

When they received a complaint concerning harrassment from Mr. Harrassment himself they jump into action. This weekend it looks like Lowry filed a complaint against a 1st Amendment Auditor, Harvey Freebird which resulted in a warrant being issued and an arrest once he crossed the Galveston County border. All of this for a Class B Misdemeanor. Many questions are being asked like which Judge signed the warrant, and what did the warrant say. Also why was the Facebook page “Freebird Exposed and Unhinged” deleted immediately after posting the picture above? This page was managed by members of Galveston County law enforcement. Why did they take such drastic action on behalf of a fat white guy while ignoring the pleas of people of color concerning harrassment by Lowry? It’s almost as if law enforcement in Galveston County is in full support of what Lowry is doing towards the Black community.

You really have to wonder.


La Marque Councilman Files Harassment Charges. Law Enforcement Descends.

July 7, 2026

You have to get up pretty early in the morning to make up stuff like this. Mr Harassment, La Marque City Councilman Joseph Lowry, whined to the Galveston County Sheriff’s Office about….wait for it….being harassed.

But the videos taken of the so called harrassment will probably end in the charges being dropped. Harvey Freebird is a “1st Amendment Auditor”. He follows the police and videos them to make sure they are not abusing their power. Harvey attended the trial against City Councilman Joseph Lowry who was being sued for…..wait for it again…..harrassment. In that suit he settled with one of the plaintiffs, won on a technicality on one, and one was dismissed. Harvey made two videos when he became aware of Lowry sitting in his minivan in the parking lot instead of attending his own trial. He also videoed him walking into the courtroom with a police escort.

His first video was from a distance in the courthouse parking lot. Of course Lowry didn’t like to be harassed much like the dozen of people who he has harassed so he did what he does best, he called the police. Unfortunately for Lowry the police came, talked with Harvey, and cleared him of any wrong doing. They attempted to talk with Lowry but he was ugly crying in his minivan and was too verklempt to talk. (ok I made that up)

His second video was taken in the Courthouse as Lowry was walking down the hall, with a police escort, to enter the courtroom. That video would have shown no one was harassing anyone but the Judge required Harvey to delete the video. Later a member of the media approached the judge and made her aware that she had also taken pictures. She was required to delete those pictures. The Courtroom has signs prohibiting videos or picture but I do not remember signs for the entire Courthouse. Regardless, the video was deleted.

So after settling his suit for harassment Lowry calls his police buddies in Galveston County and files a harassment complaint against Harvey. The Sherriff’s office issues an APB, a BOLO, activates their SWAT team, and alerts the National Guard as the FLOCK cameras detects Harvey’s truck crossing into the County. Law enforcement quickly descended upon Harvey’s location and served a warrant on him for a class B misdemeanor offense all while there was chaos and frivolity abound.

(OK. I made most of that up, except it did take 4 officers, and it was just a Class B misdemeanor) Harvey was arrested, released, and charges will probably be dropped, and then hopefully he will sued the living shit out of the Galveston County Sheriff’s Office for wait for it…..harrassment.


Day Three of the Lowry Trial. The Verdict is in!

June 17, 2026

Both Ross and Yancy lost.

When a jury renders their decision we respect it. (Unless you are a republican) We may not like it but we respect it and move on. Overall Ross had a very difficult threshold to get a decision based upon the instructions given by the Judge. Yancy on the other hand lost due to a technicality.

Her case was a violation of a settlement between Lowry and her in 2023. He agreed not to harass her anymore yet did it anyway. Unfortunately according to the settlement, called a “Rule 11”, she had to alert Lowry to stop harassing her 14 days prior to filing suit. The evidence that was presented wasn’t enough for the Judge or the jury. Did Lowry harass Yancy, her sons, her husband, and her Church? If you have kept up with Lowry you can make that decision yourself. I thought it was pretty clear.

Now if Lowry continues to harass Yancy she can alert him 14 days before filing suit. Again. Maybe since Lowry’s attorneys based their entire case on the Rule 11, that they introduced, Lowry will think twice before harassing Yancy again.

Maybe someone needs to copy all the evidence presented to the jury and post it for all to see.


Day Three of the Lowry Trial. The Verdict

June 17, 2026

Closing arguments start at 1:00. I am assuming the jury will get the case today and it will be over. I just can’t understand how someone, anyone, especially an elected official would stoop so low to harass someone, their family, their church, and others in the community. It is just mind boggling to me. Just to remind you of just one incident, here is someone speaking at a recent city council meeting concerning the harassment his family endured. Ask yourself why would anyone do this?


Day Two of the Lowry Trial. Lowry Takes the Stand

June 16, 2026

Today had some drama and Lowry taking the stand. Here are my notes. It was a long day.

  • Drama. Lowry eventually showed up after lunch. Harvey Freebird recorded him in the hall. The judge heard of this and asked Harvey to approach the bench. She claimed that no pictures or video were allowed in the hall. (I did not know that. The signs say no cameras in the courtroom) She just asked Harvey to delete the video or be held in contempt of court. Harvey apologized and deleted the video.
  • More Drama. Lowry must have whined to the judge about Harvey calling him a “piece of shit”. Harvey denied it but said he had it on video that he just deleted. Nevertheless she asked Harvey to leave the courtroom because he was disrupting. He left.
  • Even More Drama. A reporter asked to approach the bench and admitted she too took pictures in the hall. The Judge asked her to just delete the pictures and that was it.
  • Back to the trial. A video of Lowry calling her sons “Yancy Boys” and “Drug dealers” was admitted into evidence. I am not sure when that will be played.
  • Lowry’s attorneys tried to set up a timeframe repeatedly trying to make it seem like Lowry was actually the victim. (I couldn’t follow his logic but that theme was repeated later.)
  • The Judge removed the jury to discuss a comment made by Yancy’s past history. It almost resulted in a mistrial but both attorneys resolved the matter and we moved on.
  • Rule 11 was, again, talked about. Back in 2002 Yancy sued for a Temporary Restraining Order against Lowry. In 2023 they both agreed to a Rule 11 where both agreed not to harass each other, in general, even though there was only one party doing the harassing.
  • The next day an article was written in the Galveston Daily News which the attorney claimed was Yancy violating that agreement. Yancy didn’t. Anyone who read the article could see that she made very general comments about good governing. This will be back later.
  • Lowry’s lawyers kept asking her if she spoke to The Guardian, or The Defender, or other media. What she told The Defender was general comments about MAGA.

Ross takes the stand

  • James Ross was a City Councilman.
  • Retired Navy
  • Lives in La Marque and taught culinary
  • VFW Volunteer
  • Volunteered with the City on ordinance updates
  • He attempted to open a Lego store in La Marque
  • Claims investors dropped off because of the chaos in La Marque caused by Lowry
  • Claims Lowry Doxxed him, posting his personal information on the net
  • Lowry posted that people should call the Sheriff to perform a wellness check due to Ross’s mental health issues. The attorney showed that post.
  • Claims he received unwarranted phone calls after Lowry would post about him
  • Showed a post by Lowry stating about Ross “He is a scumbag who hurts women”
  • Claimed that Lowry said Ross was taking bribes, and tax payer money for his Lego store
  • Showed a pic of Lowry driving around with an AK Pistol and a 5% hat
  • Ross for safety reasons put up cameras around his house
  • He filed 3 police reports on Lowry
  • Claims that people constantly ask about his alleged illegal activity
  • Makes him feel embarrassed and hurt especially at the VFW
  • Lowry’s attorney claims public officials are open to criticism
  • Ross states in long drawn out mode that there is a line when someone accuses you of breaking the law
  • Lawyer tries to claim that Ross and Yancy conspired together to join the lawsuit against Lowry
  • Ross claims nothing of the sort happened. Their cases are different, and they are.

CJ Beard takes the stand

  • CJ describes his past, working for a Congressman, Owns a home building company, Has a BA from UH and a Masters from TSU.
  • Used Lowry’s company to pump concrete for his foundations
  • Stopped at one time
  • Lowry sent an email to his Mom, “Momma Rose” telling her to look out, or be careful or something like that
  • That was the beginning of Beard taking Lowry seriously
  • Lowry said something at an elementary school function claiming Beard was a “thug” and a “crooked thief”
  • Claims Lowry visited his construction sites making racial comments
  • Attorneys asked if he referred to Lowry as a No Neck Racist
  • Admitted to being charged with filing a false police report but all charges were dropped.

Lowry takes the stand

  • Lowry had short simple answers such as no sir, yes sir, I don’t remember, I don’t know, I don’t recall, and “I don’t know what your are talking about”
  • Lowry claims he is the victim with Yancy posting hundreds of harassing comments
  • Admits he was the defendant when Yancy filed a Temporary Restraining Order against him which lead to the Rule 11
  • Claims Yancy “ran” to the newspapers the very next day but had no proof
  • Claims someone at the paper told him (I thought that was hearsay?)
  • Claims that Yancy “knows” people at the paper
  • Claims she broke the Rule 11 agreement when talking to the paper. (Not true. Go read the article)
  • Attorneys hammered the “This rule applies to both” arguments (Even though Yancy was not harassing Lowry)
  • According to the agreement Yancy was to contact Lowry if he violated the agreement
  • Lowry claims he is not a racist
  • Claims he has been harassed hundreds of time
  • Claims this has impacted his business
  • Claims he had to move his kids to private school
  • Also claims he was “surrounded” by Yancy supporters in the parking lot. The Judge didn’t seem to care.
  • On Cross Yancy’s attorney asked about Michelle Smith. Lowry claims she is an anonymous person posting. No one asked where she was posting or when or what she posted.
  • Claims he made money from his first Lowry News Network on Facebook. That was removed.
  • Acknowledged that he claimed Ross was a pedophile even though he has no proof
  • Lowry claims it is because he was a 55 year old man wanting to open a lego store. (Legos are not just for kids. There are legos that costs hundreds of dollars.)
  • Admits to posting of Ross’s personal information on the web
  • Lowry was asked if he recalls a email from the City Manager asking Lowry to stop posting pictures of Yancy and her family online. Of course Lowry said “I don’t recall” or one of the phrases.
  • The attorney brought out the email to refresh his memory. After a discussion between the attorneys and judge the email was put into evidence.
  • He eventually had to acknowledge it
  • Lowry was then asked about his own deposition which he could not remember. The part he didnt remember was the following which he “disregarded everything involving that Chapter 11”

I left early at around 4:45. I believe the trial will continue tomorrow.


La Marque Councilman a No Show at Trial, Posts Racist Message

June 15, 2026

I hate the State for it’s lack of protection for the common man.

La Marque City Councilman Joseph Lowry, AKA Chicken Little, chickened out on trial today. Lowry is being sued for harassment and other counts by Councilwoman Kimberly and former Councilman James Ross. Lowry didn’t show up and isn’t expected to show up leaving his attorneys, multiple, to carry his jock strap. He re-post the post to the right just a few days ago. It is clearly racist, using the N word, and comparing Blacks to “nappy headed future watermelon felons”. It is disgusting. Anyone who would post this would be fired.

Today there were a number of discussions in the morning with jury selection in the afternoon. The trial started at 2:00 PM with the first witness, Kimberly Yancy testifying till the end of the day. She is expected to return to the stand in the morning. Here are some notes I took.

  • Yancy’s attorney laid out his case. It is about emotional distress, harassment, stalking, and mental anguish.
  • Lowry’s attorney put up 3 post by Lowry claiming “This is why we are here” and it’s all about free speech protected by the first amendment of the Constitution.
  • Under testimony Yancy said there are 600 documented cases of harassment by Lowry
  • Including harassment of her, her husband, her children, the school she worked at and even her church
  • She filed a suit against Lowry in 2022 for a Temporary Restraining Order
  • That suit was settled with an agreement between the two to not harass each other, personally, or online.
  • Lowry has since violated that agreement
  • She has never had to deal with harrassment
  • She (they) bought a firearm for protection, they never had one before or the need to have one
  • Yancy mentioned her and her family being called thugs, ghetto ass, and lowry vowing to put her in prison
  • Claims Lowry has doxed her, posting her SSN, address, and other personal information
  • Claims that her kids were invited to dinner by Lowry to break bread (my words) It did not go well
  • Called her kids pedophiles
  • He created a Facebook page about her
  • Says it was the most demeaning time in her life

Lowry’s attorney crossed examined her immediately raising his voice attacking.

  • Claims Yancy referred to Lowry as a KKK member.
  • Attacking Yancy for not contacting Lowry prior to filing suit
  • Claimed Yancy told kids at her school that Lowry killed her dog. Yancy said the students (high school) asked her if it was true that Lowry posted a video claiming this.
  • The attorneys seemed to be grasping at straws looking for a technical issue to squash the case.

Tomorrow Yancy will finish and I expect James Ross to take the stand. His case is about harassment also. That should be interesting. The trial starts tomorrow at 10:15.


Visitor Instructions for La Marque Councilman’s Trial on Monday June 15

La Marque’s Runoff, and Who They Ran Off

May 6, 2026

City Councilman Joe Compian and his challenger Sade Williams will be in a run off for La Marque City Council District B. Both received 56 votes. The runoff will be sometime in June. Compian, a sitting Councilman, only received 35% of the vote with 65% of all voters supporting someone else. The next election will be between two candidates, not four. This should concern Compian. If I was going to advise Compian I would tell him to put some distance between himself and Councilman Lowry. As I have said in the past Lowry and his wife are as popular as herpes at a hot tub party. Speaking of his wife…

La Marque has a runoff in June, but on May 2 voters ran off Sarah Lowry, the wife of Councilman Joseph Lowry. Lowry was a candidate for District D and was crushed by 53 points with 55 voters in District D voting for her. 55?!?!? Really? Getting runoff by 53 points is sad but getting 55 votes for someone with the baggage of her husband’s child like attitude is really sad!

But the good news is that Tonia Griffin returns to Council. Good luck to Compian and Williams in the runoff.


La Marque Councilman Caught on Camera. Again

May 1, 2026

It’s Joseph Lowry. Again in an expletive exchange with a citizen.

You can watch the videos of Lowry and his wife approaching Harvey Freebird, a 1st Amendment Auditor. Decide for yourself if this man and wife are worthy of being elected officials. Joseph is currently on city council. His wife is running for council. That election is May 2. She puts her two cents in the third video. This is not the first time he was recorded spewing profanity. Actually this isn’t even the second time. It is his third. From Galveston County Daily News:

Some on city council say Councilman Joseph Lowry failed to embody the spirit of his constituents Monday night when he was caught on camera hurling insults, obscene gestures and threatening to fight a man who was recording police at a crash scene.

He then attacked a reporter from the Houston Chronicle after being questioned about $43,000 in back taxes that he failed to pay. He eventually paid most of his taxes but he has been sued again for back taxes, case # 26-TX-0085.

“I don’t owe anybody any money,” councilman Joseph Lowry said to the Galveston County Daily News. “But good job. You’re a piece of s—. You’re a f—— maggot. And you’ll get what’s coming to you.”

And once again, he has been caught on video. These are posted to Facebook:

Part 1:

Part 2:

Part 3:


Another Impersonation Concerning La Marque City Councilman

April 30, 2026

BTW. Lowry does NOT like people who impersonate others online such as Derrick Miller in Texas City who was charged with creating a fake Joseph Lowry Facebook page. All charges were eventually dropped. Let’s connect some dots.

Filing fake DBA’s. In October of 2025 I wrote “La Marque Councilman Files Suspicious DBAs” about Joseph Lowry filing an official county document “Assumed Name Record Certificate of Ownership for Unincorporated Business or Profession”, in other words, a DBA (Doing Business As). He filed two DBA’s. One under K Yancy (as in Councilman Kimberly Yancy) and one under M Salazar (as in Mandalynn Salazar). He filed both of these on 2/24/22. Lowry has a history of harassing both of these individuals.

Filing a Tax Rollback petition and PAC. In early 2022 Lowry filed a tax rollback petition. Also during that time an employee of his, Sarah Daugherty, now his wife, created a Political Action Committee titled Galveston County Connects PAC (Filer ID 00086188) to raise money for the rollback effort. What is interesting is that Mandalynn Salazar had created a Facebook page conveniently titled Galveston County Connects in June of 2019. It seems that Lowry did this on purpose to hijack her page.

Raising Money. During the tax recall drive Galveston County Connects PAC raised about $11,000. $5000 came from MSW Investment Group and $5,000 came from former Council Member Robert Michetich. Filing DBA’s with someone else’s name and without the consent of the individual is against the law. Intentionally or knowingly filing a fraudulent official document with the county is against the law. (see pic to the left) Salazar filed a complaint with the police concerning the fraudulent DBA.

Using the DBAs of K Yancy and/or M Salazar to raise money is against the law. Creating a PAC that just so happens to look like an active Facebook page to raise money may be cute, and funny, but coupled with the above, might be quite interesting to County Officials. What it looks like is that Lowry was attempting to confuse voters claiming K Yancy, M Salazar, and Salazar’s Facebook group was in support of the tax rollback. Is that legal?


A Vote of No Chaos in La Marque

April 26, 2026

Come on La Marque voters. You are better than this.

There are two City Council Members up for reelection, Council Members Joe Compian and Tonia Griffin. Compian is challenged by Felix Brown, Jody Richards, and Sade Williamsby. Council Member Griffin is being challenged by Sarah Lowry, yes, that Sarah Lowry, bride of Chucky Council Member Joseph Lowry.

As of today only Griffin has filed a campaign finance report. Those reports are posted on the La Marque website. Reports are required even if you are self financing. There are few exceptions for not filing.

Lowry hasn’t filed but has spent money on some of the worst campaign signs ever made in direct violation of Campaign Signs 101. Besides have a gawd awful sign the citizens of La Marque need stability and restored faith in their government. Lowry will just bring more chaos to the Council sitting next to her fucked up husband, Joseph Lowry. Joseph should be run out of office and Sarah should not be running for office. Both are not qualified to represent the citizens of La Marque and both are just filthy human beings. Her running on god, faith, and family is just fucked up.

La Marque, you can do better. Don’t fuel the chaos. Elect an adult.

March 22, 2026

Anyone want to attend? Harris County Civil Courthouse 333rd Court 201 Caroline St 14th floor, Houston, TX 77002. I would expect the first day will be for seating a jury and other overhead. (I’ll find out more tomorrow)

The Civil Case #202107817 TOMCZAK, MARTIN vs. SIX BROTHERS CONCRETE PUMPING LLC filed in Harris County  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


Yet Another Lawsuit Against La Marque City Councilman

March 10, 2026

It’s getting old.

Galveston County has filed another lawsuit against La Marque City Councilman Joseph Lowry for unpaid taxes. The case # 26-TX-0085 seeks over due taxes for 2024 of $11,474.03. He is also delinquent on his 2025 taxes for a total of $14,608.15. Recently Lowry paid for a large poster to harass a local activist but can’t seem to find money to pay his damn taxes like everyone else does.

This isn’t the first time he has been sued for back taxes. Last year a suit was finally dropped after he paid for his 2021, 2022, and 2023 taxes for over $22,000. He has had liens against his property by the City, State, and the IRS. In an interview with Ch 13 he claimed he owned no back taxes. which was not true. Things aren’t going well for Lowry. His Facebook pages have been removed. His Lousy News Network has been deactivated, and he isn’t a Texas Ranger. Womp Womp.
