Just another greedy, trasy, corrupt, and bought out little oilfield P.O.S. judge.! He really holds his head up high in this lifetime but he will be punished with weeping and gnashing of teeth when he enters his next eternal life! I

Very fair. Very quick to rule. I prefer this court to others. I practice criminal primarily in West Texas.

May as well prepare for an appeal. There is no justice in this courtroom. I will never trust his decision again. My mistake was not requesting a jury trial. The appeals judges probably laughed at the ridiculousness of the verdict delivered without sufficient evidence. I am saddened that a person like him is called "honorable".
