SYLVA GARZA PEREZ REFUSES TO FIRE STAFF WHO REFUSE TO ACCEPT DULY PREPARED DOCUMENTS

Sylvia please do not call me and grovel about how your staff ignores you.  It does not help your case.  So again, in the misdemeanor drug case for John Doe, Sylvia's staff refuses the notice of appeal filing. Sherley clearly said only an attorney can file the notice of appeal.  

This has been explained to Sylvia over and over again, the clerks have no discretion in refusing a filing.  They are not allowed to practice law.  The fact they continue to practice law and refuse filings speaks to how little regard they have for Sylvia.

This is not about John Doe.  It is about all the poor people trying to file documents with the clerk's office and being turned away to have their rights denied.  I was livid for them.  There is no one protecting them.  Then when a low-level clerk tells you they are not going to file the document because they have power, you get mad.  This mindset by low-level clerks cost poor people their rights every day. We need to get mad, and we need to make sure these low-level clerks taking away the rights of poor people are humiliated.  

This has happened enough times to justify a removal action against Sylvia, but no one will agree to fund it.  

The John Doe misdemeanor case will actually be resolved via mandamus.  The notice of appeal is merely filed to ensure the time frame for action against Judge Betancourt is extended.

There are two problems: one, Laura Betancourt had no authority in the case, and two, she signed an order of dismissal confirming the felony case was resolved with a felony conviction.  There is no such conviction.

ADA Jacqueline Morales was ordered to falsify a motion to dismiss so that John Doe would not be able to clear his name.  The State Bar will handle Ms. Morales because she will not be able to produce the felony conviction order she claimed in writing exists.

Judge Janet Betancourt in her order verified such an order does exist.  This is a crime.

Sylvia is the custodian of the record and has a legal duty to refer Jaqueline Morales and Janet Betancourt for criminal fraud on the court.  She can report it to Sheriff Manny Treviño who can ask for assistance from Texas AG Paxton or directly refer it to AG Paxton.  DA Saenz is automatically disqualified because his ADA is a target of the criminal investigation.  I guarantee you; Sylvia will do nothing to protect the official record of the court. 

What is really sad is, as of this moment there is no one challenging Sylvia who is remotely qualified.  This is a good race for a qualified person who will make clear they will not accept help from Saenz, as a clear conflict of interest, or Gilberto Hinojosa to win.  

A retired attorney can certainly come in and learn the job real fast.  It is clearly a lot more than court filings.  The Clerk is a supervisor who knows how to hire the right people for each department, and then learning the workings of the department on a daily basis.

I JANET BETANCOURT FALSIFIED AN ORDER AFFIRMING A FELONY CONVICTION ON NO EVIDENCE.  SYLVIA GARZA PEREZ WILL NOT REFER ME FOR CRIMINAL PROSECUTION
