Private Warning and Order of Additional Education of a Justice of the Peace (07/22/08)
07/22/2008
After the judge granted the plaintiff's request for transfer of venue, he failed to follow through with the transfer of the case to the other court, located just across the hall. The judge further failed to inform the plaintiff, despite numerous inquiries, that his court clerk had mistakenly closed the case. The judge's actions and failure to communicate with the plaintiff denied the litigant his right to be heard and denied him access the courts and unreasonably delayed the resolution of plaintiff's case. (Violation of Canons 3B(2) and 3B(8) of the Texas Code of Judicial Conduct and Article V, Section 1-a(6)A of the Texas Constitution.] Private Warning and Order of Additional Education of a Justice of the Peace (07/22/08)
