Beinvenidos Mr Vasella, Could we interest you in a Ground Floor Opportunity venture with our Brand New TEXAS A&M HEALTH SCIENCE CENTER

Nueces County Watchdog Authority: THE TEXAS A&M HEALTH SCIENCE CENTER Irma Lerma Rangel College of Pharmacy, located on the Texas A&M University-Kingsville campus, was created in response to the shortage of pharmacists in the border region. According to a report completed by the Texas Department of Health Education and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, the Texas-Mexico border region has a population-to-pharmacist ratio of 1,700 to 1, which is 32 percent higher than the statewide ratio. The report concludes that the border’s rapid population growth, and difficulty in recruiting and retaining pharmacists, and a decrease in the number of pharmacy graduates in Texas over the last several years have contributed to the pharmacist shortage in the border region.

Justice of the Peace Courts' Jurisdiction in Criminal Proceedings "do not include confinement"

Dear State Representative Solomon P Ortiz Jr.,

As South Texas and HD #33 remain in anticipation of your response to the email communication regarding Texas Education Code 25.093 specifically and the Texas Education Code 25, another issue has been brought to my attention regarding the JP Courts Jurisdiction in Criminal Proceedings that are punishable by fine only

This is the preface of the JP Court illustrated below in the image entitled Court Structure of Texas according to The Official Website of Texas Courts

Court Structure of Texas

And also according to the The Handbook of Texas Online

Justice of the Peace Courts have jurisdiction over criminal offenses that are
punishable by fine only, and over civil cases in which the amount in
controversy is small (not more than $5,000 in 1995). 

CODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE

TITLE 1. CODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE

CHAPTER 1. GENERAL PROVISIONS

Art. 1.051. RIGHT TO REPRESENTATION BY COUNSEL.

(c)  An indigent defendant is entitled to have an attorney
appointed to represent him in any adversary judicial proceeding
that may result in punishment by confinement and in any other
criminal proceeding if the court concludes that the interests of
justice require representation.  Except as otherwise provided by
this subsection, if an indigent defendant is entitled to and
requests appointed counsel and if adversarial judicial proceedings
have been initiated against the defendant, a court or the courts'
designee authorized under Article 26.04 to appoint counsel for
indigent defendants in the county shall appoint counsel as soon as
possible, but not later than the end of the third working day after
the date on which the court or the courts' designee receives the
defendant's request for appointment of counsel.  In a county with a
population of 250,000 or more, the court or the courts' designee
shall appoint counsel as required by this subsection as soon as
possible, but not later than the end of the first working day after
the date on which the court or the courts' designee receives the
defendant's request for appointment of counsel.

Please note the limitation operatives under Art. 4.11
JURISDICTION OF JUSTICE (JP) COURTS.

"not consisting of confinement or imprisonment"

and

"do not include confinement"

CODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE

CHAPTER 4. COURTS AND CRIMINAL JURISDICTION

Art. 4.11. [60] [106] [96] JURISDICTION OF JUSTICE
COURTS.  (a) Justices of the peace shall have original jurisdiction
in criminal cases:
(1)  punishable by fine only or punishable by:                             
(A)  a fine;  and                                                          
(B)  as authorized by statute, a sanction not consisting of 
confinement or imprisonment;  or
(2)  arising under Chapter 106, Alcoholic Beverage Code,
that do not include confinement as an authorized sanction.
(b)  The fact that a conviction in a justice court has as a
consequence the imposition of a penalty or sanction by an agency or
entity other than the court, such as a denial, suspension, or
revocation of a privilege, does not affect the original
jurisdiction of the justice court.

Acts 1965, 59th Leg., vol. 2, p. 317, ch. 722, eff. Jan. 1, 1966.
Amended by Acts 1991, 72nd Leg., ch. 108, Sec. 4, eff. Sept. 1,
1991;  Acts 1995, 74th Leg., ch. 449, Sec. 1, eff. Sept. 1, 1995;
1997, 75th Leg., ch. 533, Sec. 1, eff. Sept. 1, 1997;  Acts 1997,
75th Leg., ch. 1013, Sec. 38, eff. Sept. 1, 1997.

However, the Justice Courts are punishing by confinement.

The Justice Courts are not appointing Attorneys for indigent defendants involved in adversarial judicial proceedings that are resulting in punishment by confinement.

In Nueces County, the Justice of the Peace Judges are not licensed

attorneys nor is the Justice Court a Court of Record Court.

A Court of Record is defined as:

A court in which the proceedings are recorded, transcribed, and maintained as permanent records.
brandonlclark.com/glossary.html

A court whose acts and proceedings are recorded and preserved.
www.courts.mo.gov/osca/index.nsf/0/8b69295b674dde2186256e15004ea27f

In common law jurisdictions, a court of record is a court that keeps permanent records of its proceedings. Judgments of a trial court of record are normally subject to appellate review. In many jurisdictions, all courts are courts of record. In many jurisdictions, courts that have the power to fine or imprison must be courts of record.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Court_of_record

There is no recourse.

There is no accountability.

One other issue is the counting of a certain number of tardies as an absence and the absence is counted towards a truancy absence. There is not a provision for this illegal manipulation so as to prosecute. This prosecution under 25.093 and 25.094 can be easily proven if necessary.

To quote a Nueces County District Judge, "Justice Delayed is Justice Denied" as our HD #33 Representative we ask for emergency intervention and reform of this bad law. This is an appeal to you from South Texas. Do we really need to collect letters and signatures for our South Texas Delegation to take immediate action?

Respectfully,

Anton S Haley

When a minor is allowed to run at large during the school day hours, It is irresponsible of the caretaker whose custody in which a child is placed

I am speaking to the distinguished Gentleman from Montgomery County,

The Honorable Rob Eissler,

It is expected, we demand it and we are very angry. We are Angry Parents and Children allover the Great State of Texas. We will bring Texas to your front porch should the ignorance continue. Start paying attention to the people, the families who are enduring the legislation mistakes created no doubt in good faith but have gone awry. Ask the South Texas Delegation about South Texas and they will tell you dont mess with South Texas and dont go against Los Kenedenos when they know and believe they are right and just in a cause. This is one of those causes. I promise.

Education is for our Children, our Youth, our Future. Children and Youth need constant redirection and set boundaries at home and at school as well. When a minor is allowed to run at large during the school day hours whether it is in the halls, leaving or returning a closed campus or simply unaccounted for is irresponsible of the caretaker whose custody in which he / she is placed. it is of the most primary of concerns to find out where the hell he is and where the hell he was and as a Principal / Educator it is happening on his watch. Fining parents who require their children to attend school is unjust and destructive; as they ENTRUST their children's direction well being and safety to the custody of a School Campus Administration.

National LULAC issues "gag order" on speaking to the media. It is too late as Grandfather Clause applies

Subject: Border Patrol Issue

NOTICED YOU WERE NOT ON THE EMAIL LIST....SO i AM COPYING YOU..

Dear Board Members,

Today our National Board met via a conference call regarding the resolution which was passed at our State Board meeting this past weekend. The resolution referenced our position regarding two Border Patrol Officers. As you recall, we do not endorse thier actions but mainly question the serverity of the punishment and asked for a pardon.

After much discussion it was voted by the National Board to enforce a "gag order" on all members of the organization, not only our Texas LULAC members, regarding speaking to the media on this issue. If a member of the media calls you please refer them to the National Office.

Please do not feel that our efforts were in vain because part of the end result is now that the National Office is going to move on looking into this type of sentencing with our Legislators in Washington. The smallest victory in the midst of a defeat, no matter how small, is still a victory. Hold you heads up high as proud Texas LULAC members and know that we did the right thing.

Please make sure that all of the councils in your district abide by our National Board's decision and let us now move on to other issues that effect Texas.

Thank you again for all of your continued support.

Roger C. Rocha, Jr.

State Director - Texas LULAC
