This Judge has no accountability. This Judge "Hears" most of her important Wednesday "Contempt of Court Hearings" from her private chambers. She makes rulings on these cases from her Private Chambers disallowing court transcripts and the accused to Appeal her biased unfair rulings. This is outrageous and flat out denying litigants their legal rights to Appeal cases based on perjury and fraud. This can be confirmed by trying to purchase court transcripts for these cases to Appeal her biased rulings.

This Judge does not uphold the law! She goes by her own set of laws. I beg all of you that have had to endure this Judge and her unfair rulings to contact the Judicial Committee immediately! Put a stop to being victimized by this Tarrant County Family Court Judge!! She literally destroys the lives of innocent people and their families!

Wish we could be moved to her court. Judge Munford, 322nd District Court only rules for the mother, no matter what.

I agree with all said here.. Although I believe in this case she was trying to prove she wasn't bias against women, since she simply handed over the child to a women that had lost custody due to abandonment 11 yrs before when the child was just a baby, without any interest in hearing the case. And I quote " I'm leaving here at 5 whether you are done with your witnesses or not" after starting the hearing an hour and a half late
She had decided this case like another poster said over drinks. Man lost the child HE had raised since a baby!! His child was used to gain a non bias standing with the voter!

Please, everyone who experiences Judge Polous and her biases against women and disrespect for law please file a complaint with the Texas Commission of Judicial Conduct. This judge must be brought to justice before she hurts more families.

I further urge you to contact the Office of the Attorney General and your local represenatives.

It's amazing that this Woman is in control of the outcome of the lives of many Children in Tarrant County. She won't allow me to present evidence in her courtroom after I was SUBPOENAED to bring it!
I didn't really want to be in Her court, but I would have been in violation of the law had I NOT SHOWN.

You would think the Judge would allow you to present evidence of wrong doing when you've been brought in AGAINST your will?
Not Judge Beth Poulos. She is NOT working in the best interest of the people of Tarrant County.
How She was "APPOINTED" to this position is beyond me?

This is a kangaroo court if I have ever seen one and residents of Tarrant County should be seriously concerned that this judge is representative of this county. This judge is known to be biased against women. She should NOT be a judge. She cannot even compose herself as a respectable woman-- often shouting from the bench like an impatient 5 year old child. She sides with whatever attorney she is friends with (at the time). Beth Polous does not "hear" cases she decides them over drinks with her attorney friends. This judge has various complaints with the Texas Commission of Judicial Conduct. She should be removed from the bench ASAP. Judge Jerome Hennigan, as this is his court and he is the District Judge, is no better for supporting such a circus act. Both should be investigated.
