The following http://www.kdhnews.com/news/story.aspx?s=40453 is a blog roll from the Killeen Daily Herald and all comment’s about the Bell County District Courts.
In the article above, the judge presiding over my case is mentioned several times and is the president of the Bell County Bar Association.
The following is an excerpt from the article in the link above and reported by the Killeen Herald:
A former KISD employee who sued the district and reached a settlement in May 2008 said he was unaware of Morris’ connections, but would not comment on the record.
Dan Corbin, the former employee’s attorney, said that he knew about Morris’ wife but trusted Morris’ judgment.
“I don’t believe that it in any way affects his decision,” Corbin said. “I think if he felt there was any chance that any of his contacts would affect his decision, he would recuse himself.”
Crystal Wiseman, a KISD student, sued the district in April 2005 alleging she suffered severe personal injury after a bus driver slammed on the brakes, causing her to hit her head. Judge Rick Morris dismissed the case in January 2006.
A minor sued KISD in 2008 for injuries sustained in 2007. The district reached a settlement in December 2008, but Morris did not rule on it.
The only time Morris ruled against the district was in July 2006 when KISD sued Alliance Laundry Systems for an appliance defect after a fire erupted in the drum of a dryer.
Morris, Muller and KISD’s attorney Eric Nordstrom, with the Hudgins Law Firm in Houston, denied requests to comment for this article.
Nairn’s case has since been transferred to Adams’ court, but a court coordinator for Adams said Thursday that an out-of-district judge, Gus Strauss, had been assigned to the case. Neither the date nor venue for the next hearing had been chosen.
ARE YOU KIDDING!!??!! Come on!
This is the the millennium!
This is Texas!!!
I am a 5th generation Texas look it up (Issac Van Zandt Jarvis). Yes that Van Zandt! and Major
A society where no fair trail can be assured for any outsider is called IRAQ and Afghanistan (3rd world).
I find it ironic and the Bell County System thumbing their nose at our constitutional rights. No one is asking for any thing unreasonable here just hold the law up as it is written so Justice can be Blind as it should be. Equal Treatment Under Law!
Public records show a person by the same name as the Judge listed here presiding over my case in the 146 District Court listed as a property owner in Salado, Texas. This same property shows to be less than 3 miles away from my ex wifes parents. My ex wife stated that she was Active Duty Military in a school enrollment form which wrongfully reinstated child support of which I was previously OVERPAID on.
I have provided a few text book definitions for those who have forgotten:
Nepotism is favoritism granted to relatives or friends, with no regard to merit.
A conflict of interest (COI) occurs when an individual or organization is involved in multiple interests, one of which could possibly corrupt the motivation for an act in the other.
These reporters are to be commended and I will recommend them for any reporting award they can be recognized for.
Great Job!!!!

Mary: The bottom line in KISD and Bell County is that we suffer from a very intertwined “good old boy” system that is unbeatable because they will do whatever it takes to win no matter who they hurt or how wrong it is. KISD can do what they please to anyone and unless you’re in the “clique” you are up the infamous creek we all know about. The legal system, with a few exceptions, follows suit. There was a time I respected education, law enforcement, and trusted in truth, but that was a fantasy world.

Brett H. Pritchard: I have known both Judge Adams and Judge Morris for many years as I have tried cases in front of both of these men. Accusations that they are biased or unethical is offensive and wrong. Judge Morris disqualified himself from a case I had already tried in front of him for many days, when he realized one of the witnesses was a friend of his. Without having |
