10/27/2017

The judge failed to exhibit the patience, dignity, and courtesy expected of a judicial officer while engaged in his official duties when he raised his voice, used expletives, and threatened to hold the respondents to a peace bond complaint in contempt if they did not stop arguing and fighting.  [Violation of Canon 3B(4) of the Texas Code of Judicial Conduct.]  Private Warning and Order of Additional Education of a Justice of the Peace.  10/27/17.
