Bay Area Houston

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.

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?

If you are going to go to La Marque City Councilman Joseph Lowry’s trial tomorrow here are a few tips. Visit this page to get updates on the trial. You never know what can happen that would result in a postponement.

The Case # is 24-CV-2218 | Walter Burt, Et Al vs. Joseph Lowry. It is being held in the 212th District Court, with Judge Grady, Patricia. The court is located at 600 59th St Galveston, TX 77551 in the relatively new Justice Center. The case begins at 9:00AM with jury selection, as I have been told. Parking is free. Expect to go through security checks.

Please respect the court. No loud talking. No talking in front of the doors of the court. NO CAMERAS or taking pictures of the court whether you are inside or not. (Ask me about my personal experience) No outbursts. Of course, silence your cell phones.

Hopefully the trial will start immediately after the jury selection and we can have a drink at a local restaurant later that day.

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.

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 3:

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?

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.

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.
