UPDATE 2. I just got a call from Sylvia Garza-Perez, the county clerk. She has assured me her staff has been informed that that their job is to file what they are given and allow the courts to handle any problems.
I had to go public with what happened to send a message, things will change. Sylvia always is great at problem solving. I was discussing another filing issue I am still working on concerning a deed, and Sylvia was very detailed in how to fix the problem. The people who are working to run against her are not qualified. Sylvia may have her loyalties to people I despise, but she knows her job and will do it without regard to undue influences from third parties.
I can assure you I will receive no such call from Laura Perez-Reyes. In fact, I have received enough information to proceed against Laura Perez-Reyes in a removal action. She does not have the confidence of the legal community of the people who rely on her office for other purposes.
Update: I'm back. I have my new keyboard. I have two short posts and will get back to this. I do not believe Estela Chavez-Vasquez is willfully obstructing justice in this case. I think she just has a very poor understanding of the constitution and is for sure constitutionally challenged when it comes to constitutional rights of criminal defendants.
The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has made clear, a criminal defendant can proceed pro se, after declaring their intent. But not in Gabby Garcia or Estela Chaves-Vasquez's court. They both have intentionally allowed for the conspiracy against John Doe by his court appointed attorneys to continue.
These facts of this case are unique in that I have been able to preserve the evidence for review. The claims are not pure conjecture.
See, Hawkins v. State, 613 S.W.2d 720 (Tex.Crim.App.1981)
The most telling case on the issue of self-representation is that of George Lott. He was an attorney who reached his limits when it came to judicial corruption. The current security you see at the courthouse is a consequence of George Lott's actions.
After killing I believe 2 people at the Fort Worth Court of Appeals, he was indicted and plead guilty. Many efforts were made to force him to accept counsel. George Lott apologized for his actions and pled guilty. Because of the death penalty, the case went directly to the Court of Criminal Appeals.
George Lott made no effort to reverse the punishment of lethal injection. Efforts were made to force him to accept counsel. They all failed. In record time he was put to death.
A side note - after George Lott's claims against the judge came to light, a new client contacted me making similar claims against the same judge. I verified the judge was trying to give custody t
The court reporter Kathryn Robers has to be getting the worse legal advice possible. The Supreme Court has ruled she has no immunity as a court reporter in terms of preparing the record. Antoine v. Byers & Anderson, Inc., 508 US 429, 436 (1993)
I am here and busy working on John Doe's case. Me, I finally have an emergency appointment with the surgeon. We live in the LRGV where quality medical care is hard to come by. The surgeon everyone agrees is the best has not been available. He is now. My hearing is now nearly gone. It is weird to be in Walmart and see people moving their lips and you cannot hear them.
WHAT IS HAPPENING?
In John Doe's case there is the refusal of the court to address the constitutionality of the court appointment statute which allow a judge like Gabby Garcia to ignore the random appointment process and appoint attorney who will do her dirty work.
Now here is the kicker. The mandamus on the constitutionality issues must go to the new 15th Court of appeals, while the mandamus for other issues must go to the 13th court of appeals. There is a real chance their opinions will conflict with one another.
Now who believes the 15th Court of Appeals will be happy that on a constitutional basis they will have to decide if their mere existence is even constitutional because it forces criminal defendants to purse their appeal in two different court of appeals, setting the case up for two different results.
The 13th Court of Appeals mandamus will be hand delivered on Monday morning. The15th Court of Appeals will be delivered by UPS on Tuesday.
Now I have to get out to get a new keyboard. I cannot do anything complex on my laptop.
By noon I will have a more detailed post.
