Private Warning and Order of Additional Education of a Justice of the Peace (10/30/17)

10/30/2017

The judge failed to comply with the law, and engaged in willful conduct that was clearly inconsistent with the proper performance of his duties and cast public discredit upon the judiciary and the administration of justice when he approved an employee’s timesheets when that employee had not worked, which led to negative media coverage regarding the matter.  [Violation of Canon 2A 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.  10/30/17.
