Part of this post is what John Doe and his mother told me. I believe it to be accurate based on what I actually saw. What I saw was Sorola had left the courtroom and the ADA was working directly with John Doe.
It was a mere status hearing, so I was not concerned if I could not be there. Now had it been Gabriela Garcia's court I could have canceled the emergency appointment with my otolaryngologist neurologist.
At the end I will give you my medical update.
The morning status hearings take way too long. In Dallas I would go without my clients and sometimes get multiple settings from court to court. The criminal case would have to be a year old before it was mandatory you see the judge. Otherwise the DA and I would agree to a reasonable reset date. I would walk out of one court with as many as 5 resets. My clients never had to show. I have no idea why in Cameron county they make such a big show of it.
I am told Sorola did not even show until after 10. That is fair because maybe he had a status hearing in another court. I never let this happen to me. I would look at my week's schedule and choose a different court each day and get my new settings before the actual set date.
ANYWAY- WHAT HAPPENED?
I was on my way, and just before I got there Judge Chavez-Vasquez called the case. John Doe stood up and announced his appearance. Sorola then started to effectively attack his client saying I was forcing him to file needless recusals. They are not needless. In terms of Judge Garcia the reporter's record show she is working with Sorola to destroy John Doe. In terms of Judge Bañales the record clearly shows he lied in the order setting hearing when he accused John Doe of sending him improper emails.
The problem is Judge Bañales emailed John Doe a request with possible dates for the Motion to Recuse. John Doe responded. while noting he was copying the ADA Javier Lozano, so there would be no claim of ex parte. He also asked for Bañales order of appointment. Bañales responded by providing John Doe with his order of assignment.
So the question is, how did Bañales know to send the order of assignment if he never opened the email? Further if he never opened the email how would he know if they were improper?
Here is a standard rule when providing a visiting judge a case summary. We did this all of the time Dallas. Visiting judges would ask for the attorneys to send case summaries before the hearing. The key was to make sure opposing counsel received a copy, and the summary began, the summary is not evidence.
Also if you have a briefing practice, not happening in Cameron County, the brief will summarize the facts of the case, which still need to be proven in court. Judge Bañales claim this was inappropriate goes against practice. But again if Bañales never read the email, how would he know the contents?
THE FRACTURE IN THE ENTIRE MESS
When Louis Sorola began to address the court he was bad mouthing me, the family advocate. It was done to bias the court and is unethical. BUT JOHN DOE INTERVENED AND SAID "Sorola is not my attorney and he did not know why he was allowed to speak."
Judge Chavez-Vasquez then turned to John Doe and asked him to speak for himself. Sorola left the courtroom.
This is when I got there, and John Doe was working with the ADA to get a copy of the status hearing order. Sorola had left the courtroom after the judge gave the floor to John Doe.
I HAVE MY HEARING BACK
My new VA doctor is just amazing in terms of advocating for me. He got me an emergency appointment on less than 24 hours. The community care department got the paperwork to the doctor on an emergency basis. There really is no ER care for my situation .
When I got there I could not hear a thing. The other patients would have to tell me when I was being called.
So, I am a bit concerned because I am told upfront there is nothing they can do for the pain. My VA doctor will have to decide that issue.
But I got my hearing back. He pierced the right eardrum once, and the left eardrum twice. After each piercing he used a sucking device to pull all the fluid behind the eardrum. He just numbed the eardrum with a topical and the did the piercing. Zero pain. He showed me the tube filled with what he believed to be allergy induced fluid. The danger is when it shows to be on the inner ear bone.
When he did the left ear, all of this sound rushed in. The next step is an emergency MRI to determine the source of the pain. He has a theory which I feel good is correct.
The VA will not do an MRI on me because they are not trained in the settings when the patient has a brain shunt and spinal stimulator. DHR staff are fully trained. I am told a request to get it done by Friday has been made. The VA immediately approved the MRI. Today I should know for when it is scheduled. It could be at 3 a.m. at DHR in Edinburg.
I am awake because nothing will kill the pain. The medicine to help me sleep did not work. I took all the medicines at 11 p.m., and as I type I am feeling a lessoning of the pain. Maybe enough to sleep. So, I will close this out.
A LESSON: Unless you know for sure the specialist you are going to is top shelf, do not choose a one-person clinic. My gastrointestinal surgeon in Brownsville is basically a one-person clinic, but I know he is top of the line.
I was supposed to see an ENT surgeon. He was stuck oversees having a flight problem. In their team there are different type ENT doctors and related specialist. My doctor called to consult with anyone who could handle my ear issue. During the consult the CT was shared with all medical notes. It was decided I should start with the otolaryngology neurologist. He was very good.
I use a neurology clinic in SA. There are multiple doctors with different sub-specialties. I use two of them. I have a brain and spinal surgeon I see annually.
The pulmonary clinic in SA is the same. They have subspecialties.

So I am going to try and sleep, then have my driver take me to McAllen early. I would rather sit at the doctor's office than in my home. He may take me early.
WHAT I FORGOT
Okay first, while finalizing all the documents for the mass press release, I notice Laura Perez-Reyes is at it again. She removed the initial lawsuit against Kathryn Roberts. It was non-suited with clear allegations how her staff intentionally filed it in the wrong court. It clearly said County Court at Law. So too did the affidavit of indigence.Sunday, January 12, 2025

THE BANDIT ELON MUSK NEXT MOVE IS EMINENT DOMAIN
The BV2 has taken the lead on Starbase, the corporate town. I have already discussed the problems facing it residents. I guess in this new world of internet interaction, we have all decided to surrender any sense of privacy.
Several years ago, the Supreme Court found eminent domain cannot be used to take private land at a fair value to then turn it over to corporations.
Elon Musk has found the go around.
Starbase once incorporated will be able to use eminent domain to take the private land which surrounds Starbase.
As a city they can say they need to expand for schools, law enforcement, fire stations. or sewage treatment plants. You get it - It is being done by the city, not SpaceX. But SpaceX de facto will own the city commissioners because they work for Elon Musk.
Does anyone believe any Starbase city commissioner will ever vote against Elon Musk's marginations?
To fund the landgrab, Elon will have the city sell bonds, they will not have any money to speak of.
How do they raise money to pay for schools, medical care etc? It could take years of taxing his employees to have a budget reserve.
Elon Musk will do what he does best and get the federal taxpayer to pay through grants. You can rest assured the Trump administration will do whatever it takes to insure Starbase gets all the federal grants he wants.
If I live on any of the adjoining land to Starbase, I would organize my neighbors to petition the county to incorporate. This will stop Elon Musk's land grab.
Who is heading up the landgrab? Eddie Treviño and Sofia Benavides.
WILL EDDIE TREVINO AND SOFIA BENAVIDES VOTE FOR ELON MUSK'S LAND GRAB?
I am at a lost. There was a time Texans would have yelled communism, as the government takes control of private assets. It is not communism, but that is what conservatives would have called it.In fact, it is the new Corporatism, where in billionaires can take control over our lives.
This is what happens when you have greedy or incompetent elected officials who are impressed with shiny objects.

PEOPLE NO LONGER FOLLOW THE RULES, BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE TOO IN MOST CASE
I am too busy for this nonsense. I prefer the Hyundai and Kia for the long-term warranty. This morning while going to Walmart, I got a text and email there was a problem with my engine. In fact, the car jerked several times while driving to Walmart.
I called for an appointment. I was told because of what was in the email, it would take 24-48 hours just to diagnose. I do not have a problem with this. It is what it is.
When I asked for the rental which is provided for in the warranty, they said no. They said until the problem is diagnosed the warranty does not apply. They said it could be Monday or Tuesday just to learn about the problem. I was warned the problem if verified, could result in the truck stalling on the highway.
There system emailed me. I did not call in with a problem. Now they are telling their Wi-Fi diagnostic system is not reliable.
This will not hold.
This is bullshit where incompetence is demanded of employees.
When KIA PLAYED GAMES WITH ME, I fought, and the corporate office forced the KIA dealership to address the problem.
Years ago, when I had a problem with my Jeep, and they would not comply with the lemon law, I sues and they paid.
Most people will put up with this shit, not me.
Tipton Hyundai is about to feel my wrath. I need may car.
I am on hold all next week for emergency surgery or to start infusion therapy with anti-biotics. I see the surgeon on Monday, and he will decide how we proceed. What I can tell you is, I am nearly deaf. The Naproxen only works for about 3 hours. Right now, I cannot move my neck, and the ear pain is horrific.
These idiots at Tipton think I am going to wait for my truck to be fixed before they honor the warranty on the rental.
Hyundai has so many recalls, the dealerships are losing money in their service department.
When I am done with Hyundai and Tipton they will understand eventually a customer will fight back.
A PRODUCT ENDORSEMENT
It was recommended I use Liquid IV for my chronic fatigue and dehydration. It works. Since I have been on it, not one nap. If it were not for the problems with my sinuses, ears and neck, I easily would be working 12 hours a day and enjoying it.
You can find it in the food section of Walmart.
