GOOD RIDDANCE

Awful judge—perhaps Harris County’s worst —quite an accomplishment given its many notorious judges.

Cases languish on docket. Incapable of dissecting complex issues; likely due to fault of no or incompetent staff attorney. Wants to do "mama bear" justice her way. Opposes essentially all discovery quibbles. Arbitrary shifts in attitude mid-case after adopting previous position. Former Baylor regent with bad dogs story. https://www.khou.com/article/news/local/neighbors-blame-harris-county-judge-for-aggressive-dogs-on-the-loose/285-259017465 Disagree with claim that she is pro-plaintiff. "equities" seem to land with defendants no matter how clear the law is. Suggestion: keep every single motion and argument dead simple, and open with a real nice story every single time.

this is where cases go to die - motions sit unruled on for years, yes, literally years, her genuine desire with civil cases is to not look at them and hope they settle out of court so she doesn't have to deal with them, justice is NOT being done in this courtroom
