County Commissioner's Doing Audits on Select Judges But Not Themselves?

Are the County Commissioners throwing stones when they live in glasshouses? Are they suppressing fees for court appointed lawyers yet paying their own private lawyers 175 to 250 per hour. El Defenzor begins the probe....

Are poor citizens being denied their constitutional right to an attorney because the county is pressuring judges not to pay lawyers for their services yet they are obtaining their own attorneys at exorbitant rates? We shall see...

Why would the county commissioners need attorneys when they have the county attorney's office? Let's found out. More corruption. Go get them Homero!

And let's not forget Banales has 3 or 4 lawyers he gives all the business to. Are the commissioners looking at him? What about the 140,000 office? I bet that would pay for 100 court appointed lawyers!

Insider: This is politically motivated and they are trying to single out a couple of judges. The county commissioners need to look at all the money they are burning that belongs to the taxpayers.

Keep talking readers...Who has the dirt on this?

Is their corruption on paying side lawyers instead of Laura Jiminez' fine lawyers that should be representing the county? Why are there private lawyers? Who knows?Respond anonymously readers. Your input is greatly appreciated and will be followed up and verified...

EDC culture and marketing is the cottage industry that rapes the county funds. The County commissioners have no problem giving out million dollar contracts that are corrupt and full of croneyism but begrudge a poor person and their lawyer a decent wage. It's time to expose them. Look for your seat. Teh county commissioners have the easiest part time job in the world: 80k a year for a few hours a week and they can work at their own jobs and they can buy their husbands a brand new office and we pay for it. Why can't poor people get a lawyer? Because they control the judges that way. They audit judges and then they don't audit themselves!

If it wasn't for the Ortiz machine these commissioners and corrupt EDC members from taking over the whole county and raping the system. They started a war and we are going to finish it. EVERYONE RUN AGAINST THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS! THROW YOUR NAME IN THE RING. IF YOU ARE FEMALE AND HISPANIC GO FOR IT!IF YOU ARE WHITE AND MALE GO FOR IT! IF YOU HAVE POLKADOTS AND A PINK AFRO GO FOR IT. RUN AGAINST FENCE SITTER NEIL WHO JUMPED TO BE A REPUBLICAN TO GET ELECTED. ENOUGH! These guys are denying justice in the courtroom and the poor children a lawyer but they line their pockets. YOU WANT A WAR? YOU HAVE IT COUNTY COMMMISSIONERS.

Homero - your "blog" is rather vague. I would like for you to elaborate on specifically what judges are being audited. I am at a loss. I have heard talk of those "court-appointed" attorneys pay being outrageous - some even living off of it. You need to go pull some records and find that CERTAIN judges have only CERTAIN outside lawyers they will appoint.

As for County Attorney, it is an elected position. That position is to represent the interests of the county when it comes to contractual matters, legal matter, personnel matters. The Commissioners Court should have an attorney as they enter into binding agreements with numerous companies and someone should make sure they are sound contracts.

Still would like to know WHICH judges are being audited? As it is my understanding, the County Auditor is appointed by the JUDGES themselves and the County Auditor answers to the Judges. So, Homero who is feeding you this bullsh*t? If the judges are being audited, it is because one of their own ordered it.

As for the court-appointed attorneys, I think the County should create a department that houses attorneys for those specific cases. Then all the attorneys in the community would either have to become employees of the county ONLY or not get the cases. Then the amount can be reduced greatly by having only a handful of attorneys, rather than hundreds and no one could maintain their livelihood off the back of the judges who appointment. I know that Rudy Trevino even did a report on this and the outrageous amounts "certain" lawyers make.

I think the audit is warranted and since they are considering cutting the budget, this would be a prime place to start. Get more for your buck! But Homero, if you are getting fed this bullsh*t by one of those morons (and you know who I am talking about), you might want to research before posting. Seriously. Don't let their words be the gospel.

And as another note, while you are talking about Judges and money and attorneys, why dont you go ask those lovely district judges why the hell they GAVE the court reporters a 10% increase. It is a state statute that the DISTRICT JUDGES have the right to give them the increase and the county MUST pay it. Those judges have pissed everyone in the courthouse off! I MEAN ALL OF THEM! Those court reporters are a bunch of greedy little women sitting there in comfortable working conditions all day - there's where the finger pointing needs to be. Why did the district judges feel it appropriate to give the 10% to those reporters, when most make more than the ADA's representing the citizens in the county. Saldana had that same question. Seems Watts, Hassette, Banales (who has 2 reporters), Longoria, Galvan, Greenwell, and Ramos were happy a lark to give those "girls" 10%. Who in the HELL gets a 10% annual increase in this country? What favors are those people doing for the judges? I was even told they were asking for 10% every year for the next 4 years. I personally say FIRE them! Find someone else to do it for less. In this economy, you are blessed to have a JOB, don't be greedy! The court reporters have ranges in salary from $45k to 74k (this high one in Banales court) annually. They don't even work 40 hours a week like the typical employee. Banales isn't even in court in Nueces County EVERY day...

There's where you need to look Homero. Go check that fleecing out. Go check out that corrupted pay system. Those court reporters also are able to BILL the county and others for the TRANSCRIPTS they typed on COUNTY TIME. And they make THOUSANDS! So their true annual salary is more like double what the county pays them as OBLIGATED by state statutes.

And again I say - LAURA JIMENEZ GARZA is ELECTED ... she is not appointed and according to statute, her job is: http://www.texascounties4u.org/desc/attorney.html. She is not elected to represent "citizens" in the courtroom as individuals for crimes nor is she there to prosecute them. Her job and that of the other attorneys and paralegals and assistants is clearly laid out in this description.

HOMERO... please get your information straight before you present Laura as a prosecutor or defense counsel. Her job is to provide legal opinions and rulings to the Commissioners and the County Elected Officials as it pertains to OFFICIAL COUNTY BUSINESS.

Please keep in mind, many of these decisions (regarding pay and appointments) were made by PREVIOUS Commissioners Courts and from what I understand, there are some SERIOUS changes going to take place in our county in the future.

Here are some links to help everyone sort out all the DUTIES, APPOINTMENTS and PAY of those in question:

District Attorney & the ADAs: http://law.onecle.com/texas/criminal-procedure/2.01.00.html

Court Reporters: http://law.onecle.com/texas/government/52.046.00.html

Court Appointed Attorneys (appointed by the COURT JUDGE and PAID for by the COUNTY): http://law.onecle.com/texas/criminal-procedure/26.051.00.html

Unfortunately, due to decisions by previous Commissioners, County Judges AND elected legistative representatives, these RIDICULOUS statutes are in place. Why? I am sure it was at sometime to make one of their friends happy - Herrero just passed a bill making all court reporters "OFFICIAL" court reporters. Doesn't he have better things to focus on that such a ridiculous matter? Why did he do it? Why don't you ask his LEGAL buddies why ... and it was all generated by someone in our District Court system. http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/BillLookup/History.aspx?LegSess=81R&Bill=HB1551

Homero: If you won't say it I will. Aren't you tired of these white controlled pendejos trying to shut down El Defenzor's message? Don't they understand that Hispanics now know how to use a computer, see through the smoke screen and are figuring out that what these guys will do for whites they won't do for hispanics? They pay their LATINO LACKEYS A PITTANCE AND THESE GUYS EAT DUNG, THEY REALLY WILL. Also, the wannabe politicero JEFF "Give me money and you will win or lose on your own" BUTLER who pockets all this money from political candidates, shares none of it and then has all of his candidates lose while making a quarter million dollars in campaign season. What kind of pendejos would pay this pinche pancon a dime. He's almost as bad as Al"The Kiss of Death and God told me to charge you 50,000 for your `campaign" Hinojosa as a campaign manager. The time has come Mi Raza to make our own political machine vis a vis the internet and to come together. I am challenging all my Latina sisters to be the next generation of politiceras who don't have to be intimidated by white men and their Latino Lacky male counterparts who will do anything for the gringo because they have been conditioned to kiss the white man's ass. Corpitos is the worst. Ask my homeboys from the Westside: There are so many Mexicans in Corpus that Actually believe they are white like Nelda Martinez. Por favor. Even with the lightest make up base you are still brown Honey! If you are brown stick around.

PURA HISPANA IS PROUD OF MY LATINA SISTERS!

Elida Garza in Alice: Filing false charges against District Clerk David Guerrero

ELIDA GARZA SHOWN HERE RAGING AT A SCHOOL BOARD MEETING IN ALICE IN FEBRUARY 2009.













As I was filing down my nails to write another column I thought of yet another hot button issue in Alice and that is of Elida Garza at a school board meeting. This rabid dog reportedly tried to blast everyone and When the illustrious and well intentioned David Guerrero in his own gentlemanly way told her to sit her old bitch ass down what does she do? ONly in Alice, Texas does she file charges and leave the taxpayers having to pay for a groundless investigation and take up space in their local newspaper. This woman Elida Garza has had an ax to grind with certain school board members for years. Frustrated and postmenopausal she yearn for the days when they could give her a good one and she would be satisfied, but noooooo. As with many people with too much time on their hands she goes after people who do nothing but try to serve the community, manipulate the media and the County Attorney's office and leave countless man hours at Jesusa Sanchez Vera's office to have to deal with politically motivated pressing of charges that will go nowhere. Elida: Please, take some ex-lax, concentrate on reviving your sex life and shut the hell up and quit complaining. Chingao mujer, from a younger woman, perdona me pero ya caya te lo sico and move in. Whew...I feel better. Back to filing my nails, french cut and flawless. If Elida knows how to use a computer and reads this she can also pick up another device and use it to ease the tension, just don't brown out the electricity in Alice. Por Favor.





I am Purahispana, The Scorge of South Texas.





Con su licensia Homero but it is best a woman handle a woman on these issues, Ok?





PURAHISPANA LOVES ALICE. GO COYOTES AND DOWN WITH ELIDA GARZA.

Atkinson in Alice? People of Alice! Wake Up!Gringos Hediendos Pa Fuera!

Aren't we tired of the same old peckerwood's trying to rule over the Mexican American populace. Does Alice really need a white overlord buying a bunch of Hispanos? Who does this guy think he is? Fuera con este pendejo. George Parr you are not.

Permit me to crack my knuckles and begin.

Since the days of George Parr many Mexicanos have been controlled, misled and manipulated by a patron. Our culture lends to being subservient and unwilling to fight for what is ours. Is this South Africa where as in Alice over 80 percent of the population is Mexican American yet we bow and scrape to a gringo hediendo because he says so and names a street after himself by a movie theater and the Wal Mart? If 10 percent of us stood up to him, told him to shut his mouth and to go to whatever backwater place he came from our troubles would soon be over. Nothing makes me more sick than a man who is bored because he has too much money and is trying to overthrow people. People in Alice, take back your politics, don't listen to the modern day Parr's. The day of the peon is over. Estos gringos pendejos no saben que necitamos nuestra raza! Expose corruption at every turn. Get the government to investigate this man: from toxic dumping to shady deals to violating the election code. Don't serve this master. He thinks of all of you as Mexican dogs. Don't be fooled. No te creas en los curanderos blancos mi raza.

I'm just getting started. Thank God for the communications decency act of 1996 and the internet. Welcome Mr. Atkinson, there are so many things you can control or try to boycott.

PURAHISPANA. Only the internet allows a lil ole hispanic girl like me to geld you.

The Kenedy Pasture Company: Celis Needs To Subpoena Hillary

You know I have been in and out of Mauricio's trial. A few observations from the first time I was there. IMO a pro establishment Judge with a subtle leaning towards housekeeping but enough to cancel technical victories for the defense. To my surprise (which really shouldn't have been a surprise) was the Texas Deputy Attorney General and he was on a mission. I think about it for a bit and start to smell the stench. This prosecution is a winnable prosecution but it is not one seeking Justice. Josie (the Politiquera from the commentarios) and the political targeting / retaliation exacted in her from the same Level and branch of government. We all know the prosecution of her as a criminal was ridiculous. The ones who disagree do so because they dont like her politics but not because technically she was prosecutable. This is suppression of the NUECES DEMOCRATIC PARTY. Mauricio is being prosecuted out of Political Expediency. Angelica takes credit as this thing being her baby, she has put together a winnable case against a man she despises right along side of Mikal Watts. I know the disdain Angelica harbors for these men who with their money influence South Texas Politics. She knows they are cheating and she ran her election campaign fair and square to lose by a very narrow margin. Now all of that said, i do not believe her diligence stems from Professionalism. Also, I cannot see her casting stones as she is not without prosecutable transgressions. I believed in Angelica and thought if anyone would retain a humble objectivity that it would be Angelica. My opinion diminished now by our last two communications. I contacted her by phone and asked her if she would apprise a situation dealing with the status of my wife (unlawfully confined) and how I might remedy the situation. She was very polite (but in hindsight) out of expedience only she said, Yes Mr Haley I will look into the situation and I will call you back. It will probably be late today but I assure you I will call you back today Mr Haley." I still remain. This is all I need to know Angelica has turned to the Dark Side.

On another note "The Whole World Knew" Mauricio was not a licensed attorney. Let's suppose they did not have a clue he did not possess a license, who dropped the ball and allowed him to operate in the State Judiciary without credentials? Now get rid of everyone who should have known and claims they did not know as their defense. WATT they are really telling everyone is that they are incompetent. GET RID OF TEH INCOMPETENCE!

As for Angelica, I am truly disappointed for her and in her. She knows it and avoided talking to me while Carlos just patted me on the back. She did have to speak to my wife as it was unavoidable. Angelica's cower to us says it all. She knows it doesnt feel right cuz if it did she would face us with passion and confidence. Where did the Old Angelica go?

As for Mauricio, he is in the grinder. Mikal Watts, Two Fer, Firestone and Velacrat Politics. The only option he has is to bring in the Politicos and get them on record. If he has half a brain he will set up the three rings right there in the courtroom and let the Political Circus begin. Hell, he should even subpoena Hillary. The witness list is where we turned the tables and it can be so for Mauricio as well. I have tried to show him the water but I cant make him drink.The Kenedy Pasture Company: Celis Needs To Subpoena Hillary
