Judge Alan “Barb” Sadler over in Conroe must have slept well last night, because he’s not been charged with driving drunk. Yet. He did get himself arrested last week, though. Seems Judge Sadler was driving his 2008 Chevy Avalache on North Loop 336 over there in Conroe about 8:30 on a Wednesday evening, when he…
Now, here’s something to ponder over … district attorneys (elected officials) hiring private, third-party lobbists to lobby for them with lawmakers (other elected officials).

They led cop lives, wore the uniform, drove the car, raised the families. They got the respect that police get these days — kids waving at them from the street, grandmas smiling…
Well, maybe the only good thing about this story – aside from the fact that they got caught – is that these judges aren’t from Texas. Up in Pennsylvania, they’ve got private companies that run the kid jails — you know, like the ones here in Texas that we call “juvenile detention centers.” And, the…
There’s always a story when a judge quits his job, and this time was no different. Back on August 29th, Brazoria County Court at Law Place 3 Judge James Blackstock resigned his bench and pled “no contest” to charges of official oppression and assault of five different women. Allegations Involved Touching, Kissing, and Lewd Computer…
There’s a new Sheriff in town, but does she hold a grudge? Mebbe. Four Dallas County Sheriff’s Deputies have sued their boss, Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez, along with the Executive Chief Deputy Jesse Flores, alleging that the Sheriff transferred them to yucky jobs after she got elected because they had supported her opponent in…
Tim Cole is dead. And you should know that Tim Cole died with integrity, consistently maintaining he was innocent of the crime for which he was accused. Now, it may be time that he finally receives justice. Tim Cole Took the Hard Road – He Went to Jail Rather Than Deny His Innocence Before we…
