Fort Bend County Clerk yet to decide on marriage license to same-sex couples

By BARBARA FULENWIDER Fort Bend County Clerk Laura Richard is awaiting legal advice before issuing marriage license to same-sex couples, follwing last week’s Supreme Court ruling which gave samesex couples the right to marry in all states.

On Sunday, June 28, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton issued a press release saying, “Texas must speak with one voice against this lawlessness, and act on multiple levels to further protect religious liberties for all Texans.”

Paxton’s ‘yes but’ take on the issue was in regard to the religious beliefs of county clerks and their employees, justices of the peace and judges who might have religious objections that would keep them from being able to issue same-sex marriage licenses.

Paxton also said, “Importantly, the strength of any particular religious accommodation claim depends on the particular facts of each case.”

Even though Paxton knows

that a “federal district court judge in the Western District of Texas has enjoined the state from enforcing Texas laws that define marriage as exclusively a union between one man and one woman.”

Paxton, in his press release said the U.S. Supreme Court “ignored the text and spirit of the Constitution in the rule of law, but did nothing to weaken our resolve to protect religious liberty and return to democratic self government in the face of judicial activists attempting to tell us how to live.”

In regard to Paxton’s opinion and press release, County Clerk Laura Richard issued a press release regarding same-sex couples requesting marriage licenses in Fort Bend County.

She said, “Based on the Texas attorney general’s Opinion No. KP-0025 that was issued Sunday, June 28, the county clerk is seeking legal counsel through our county attorney’s office.

The county clerk has every intention to follow the law and will provide updates on the go

forward process when more information is available.”

Earlier, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick had requested Paxton’s opinion regarding the “rights of government officials involved with issuing same-sex marriage licenses and conducting samesex wedding ceremonies.”

Paxton’s opinion to Patrick said that a licensed or ordained Christian minister or priest, a Jewish rabbi, an officer of a religious organization who is authorized by that organization to conduct a marriage ceremony, a supreme court justice and numerous types of judges included a retired judge or magistrate of a federal court in Texas are authorized to conduct marriage ceremonies.

The attorney general said, “These individuals are permitted to perform any marriage ceremony, but nothing in Texas law requires them to do so.” He continued, “The only statutory restriction on their authority is that they are ‘prohibited from See MARRIAGE, Page 3

State Bar files disciplinary petition against DA, prosecutor

By SESHADRI KUMAR The Supreme Court of Texas has appointed Jonathan M. Bailey, Judge of the 431st District Court in Denton County, to preside in the disciplinary actions styled Commission of Lawyer Discipline vs John F. Healey, Jr. and Mark Harold Hanna.

The Commission for Lawyer Discipline filed a disciplinary petition in the 268th District Court in Fort Bend County on June 23.

The commission, a committee of the State Bar of Texas, has found cause for disciplinary action against Fort Bend County DA John Healey and prosecutor Mark Hanna in a grievance filed by Jacob Estrada of Rosenberg on Sept 10, 2014.

Estrada complained that Healey and Hanna failed to inform him in a timely manner, of the evidence that would have helped him negate the conviction, resulting in his early release.

Estrada was charged with

possession of a controlled substance in a drug-free zone in December, 2006.

After pleading guilty to the charge, Estrada was convicted in July, 2007 in the 400th District Court of Fort Bend County and sentenced to an eight-year prison term.

A sample of the substance found in Estrada’s possession was tested by Jonathon Salvador, a forensic scientist employed by the Texas Department of Public Safety.

On April 26,2012, manager of the DPS Houston crime lab, sent an email to Healey and Hanna that DPS “has discovered errors with the analysis of drug evidence conducted by one forensic scientist in Houston Regional Laboratory.”

The e-mail indicated that the DPS had made the decision “to review his entire body of work since he began examining evidence in early 2006.”

Estrada’s case was one of

those in the list.

Despite Healey and Hanna receiving the e-mail and spreadsheet on April 26, 2012, and despite Hanna requesting on June 28, 2012 that the sample substance in Estrada’s case be retested, no notice was provided to Estrada of the situation involving Salvador until Hanna sent him a letter on March 14, 2013, the complaint said.

Further, the letter did not disclose that the sample had already been destroyed.

On Oct. 11, 2011, the judge in the 400th District Court had granted a motion to destroy the evidence in Estrada’s case.

On June 28, 2012 Hanna sent a request to the DPS for retesting the evidence. The Richmond Police Department, due to procedural delays, destroyed the evidence many months later, on July 3, 2012.

NEWS Community leaders celebrate AccessHealth’s quality achievement Community leaders gathered Thursday evening at AccessHealth’s main Center in Richmond to celebrate the Center’s national recognition as a Patient-Centered Medical Home by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). Elected officials in attendance included State Representatives Rick Miller, newly elected Rosenberg Mayor Cynthia McConathy, former Rosenberg Mayors Vincent Morales and Joe Gurecky, Matt Minor from the office of State Representative Phil Stephenson and Linda Adkins from the office of State Representative John Zerwas.

Fort Bend Chamber of Commerce President, Keri Schmidt, and Central Fort Bend Chamber of Commerce President, Regina Morales, were also in attendance.

In total, over 70 attendees gathered for the celebration. AccessHealth board members and executive staff greeted guests, and CEO Carol Edwards gave a brief presentation recognizing AccessHealth Government Contracts Officer, Penny Pabst, and Chief Medical Officer, Dr. David Krusleski, for their part in the achievement.

The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) Patient-Centered Medical Home is a model of primary care that combines teamwork and information technology to improve care, improve patients’ experience of care and reduce costs.

AccessHealth earned the recognition by using evidence-based, patient-centered processes that focus on highly coordinated care and long-term, participative relationships.

AccessHealth demonstrated the ability to meet the program’s key elements, embodying characteristics of the medical home.

NCQA standards aligned with the joint principles of the PatientCentered Medical Home established with the American College of Physicians, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Osteopathic Association.

Research shows that medical homes can lead to higher quality and lower costs, and can improve patient and provider reported experiences of care.

Medical homes foster ongoing partnerships between patients and their personal clinicians, instead of approaching care as the sum of episodic office visits. Each patient’s care is overseen by clinician-led care teams that coordinate treatment across the health care system.

AccessHealth has taken a patient-centered approach to care since the organization’s inception in 1975.

As a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), the majority of the organization’s board members are, in fact, also patients. Ac-

Marriage From Page 1 discriminating on the basis of race, religion or national origin against an applicant who is otherwise competent to be married.’”

Paxton also wrote in his opinion to Patrick that “So long as other authorized individuals are willing to conduct same-sex wedding ceremonies, these statutory provisions demonstrate the practical reality that a refusal by a religiously objecting justice of the peace or judge cannot prevent a same-sex couple from participating in a wedding ceremony contemplated by state law.”

The attorney general’s press release titled, “Religious Liberties of Texas Public Officials Remain Constitutionally protected after Obergefell v.

Hodges,” says that the U.S. Supreme Court ruling is “not based in the law or the Constitution” and “diminishes faith in our system of government and the rule of law.”

Further, Paxton wrote that “now hundreds of Texas public officials are seeking guidance on how to implement what amounts to a lawless decision by an activist Court while adhering both to their respective faiths and their responsibility to uphold and defend the U.S.

Constitution.”

He noted the Supreme Court’s “flawed majority opinion” and said it fabricated a new constitutional right in 2015. He also said the court “did not diminish, overrule, or call into question the First Amendment rights to free exercise of religion that formed the first freedom in the Bill of Rights in 1791. This newly invented federal constitutional right to same-sex marriage should peaceably coexist alongside longstanding constitutional and stutatory right, including the right to free exercise of religion and speech.”

Paxton went on in his press release to say that “it is important to note that any clerk who wishes to defend their religious objections and who chooses not to issue licenses may well face litigation and/or a fine. … numerous lawyers stand ready to assist clerks defending their religious beliefs, in many cases on a pro-bono basis.”

He ended by saying: “Texas must speak with one voice against this lawlessness and act on multiple levels to further protect religious liberties for all Texans but most immediately do anything we can to help our county clerks and public officials who now are forced with defending their religious beliefs against the court’s ruling.”

by the prosecution years after Plaintiff’s felony conviction and by failing to train prosecutors on post-conviction Brady obligations,” Atlas said in her opinion.

“Because Defendants’ allegedly wrongful conduct does not constitute a recognized violation of Brady, there is no basis for the requested injunctions. Finally, Plaintiff has not adequately pleaded an official capacity claim against either....In sum, even if a post-conviction Brady right exists, a conclusion this Court does not reach, Plaintiff’s failure promptly to disclose information and failure to train prosecutors on post-conviction Brady obligations do not amount to deliberate indifference and thus do not state a valid claim for relief against the County of Fort Bend.”

The judge allowed Estrada to file an amended complaint in light of the long standing doctrines explained in the judgement on or before June 19.

On June 18, Attorneys for Estrada Michael W. Ellott, Kristen Jernigan and Leonard Thomas Bradt, filed an amended complaint with the court.

The judge has not yet ruled on the amended complaint.

From Page 1 na, said,“We have the utmost respect for our system of justice and we are confident that the cases will be resolved favorably without any finding of professional misconduct by Fort Bend County District Attorney John Healey and Assistant District Attorney Mark Hanna.”

Meanwhile, Estrada filed a civil rights violation case against Healey and Hanna in the U.S. Federal Court for Southern District. The facts of the case are essentially the same as in the State Bar disciplinary proceedings.

U.S. Dsitrict Judge Nancy Atlas issued an opinion on June 4, dismissing all claims made

by Estrada against Healey and Hanna.

“In summary, the claims Plaintiff (Estrada) pleads each are premised on the theory that Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963), creates post-conviction rights to a criminal defendant.

Plaintiff claims Defendants Healey and Hanna violated the Due Process Clause and the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution by failing to make disclosures of alleged Brady information discovered

Ron Reynolds hails ruling on same-sex marriage Texas House Democratic Whip and Texas House Dist. 27 State Rep. Ron Reynolds (D) has welcomed the Supreme Court decision on same-sex marriage.

Reynolds said in a statement: “Let me be clear, I’m a proud Christian family man that is married to my wife and have 3 children. With that being said...I support equality for ALL. As a Past President of the Missouri City NAACP...I’ve been a longtime advocate of the civil rights movement and fierce advocate of social justice by fighting for racial and gender equality. In the past, my faith wouldn’t allow me to support gay marriage. However, over recent years I have evolved to also fight for equal rights for the LGBT community as well. I totally support the Supreme Court’s decision today.

“The Supreme Court in a historic 5-4 ruling said there is a right to same-sex marriage in all 50 states, delivering a monumental win for gay rights across the country. Justice Anthony Kennedy, often the swing vote on the court, authored the 34-page decision.

He wrote that marriage is a “keystone of the nation’s social order” and that there is “no difference between same- and opposite-sex couples with respect to this principle.” Finally, every American regardless of their race, gender or gender identity has the right to marry the person they love.”

GUEST COMMENTARY Do words really matter? The U.S. Supreme Court has rewritten erased the Constitution

By TERESE RAIA The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) issued two rulings last week which reinterpreted wording related to Obamacare to say “State� means “State and Federal� as well as giving homosexual marriage the status of protection under the Constitution.

These two decisions could have more impact on economics, healthcare, and the cultural well-being of citizens than most other rulings in recent history.

The decisions resulted in SCOTUS either creating new protections that are not deďŹ ned in the Constitution or reinterpreting words to mean other than their actual deďŹ nition.

A majority of the justices on the Supreme Court decided in both cases to assume the authority of legislators rather than as judges. The justices exceeded the powers granted to them by the Constitution and took a giant step across the boundary separating the powers of our Federal government to create law, a power reserved to Congress or State governments by the

Constitution.

Regardless of what the SCOTUS justices personally believe, the power to legislate is granted to Congress and not to the SCOTUS. The danger posed by the decisions is that the Constitution, which helped the nation to navigate through many crises including the War of 1812, the Civil War, civil and voting rights, World Wars I and II, the Korean and Vietnam Wars, both Gulf Wars, as well as the attack in 2001 on the World Trade Center, has been made irrelevant.

The justices treated the Constitution as a collection of random thoughts, subject to the whims of a politicized group of nine judges with lifetime appointments to the bench, who rule as they see ďŹ t without any basis from historical guides for the court.

At this point, the Federal government has ceased to be a Republic with elected members of Congress representing citizens and making laws. The government has taken on the characteristics of an “Oligarchyâ€? deďŹ ned as “. . . a government in which a small group exercises control

Raia especially for corrupt and selfish purposes�.

Historically and factually, the Constitution is based on federalism and limited national government. It identiďŹ es only seventeen areas in which the federal government is authorized to operate and speciďŹ cally gives other govern-

ment powers to the People and the States in the 9th and 10th Amendments.

In addition, the 1st Amendment to the Constitution says “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.�

Yet, recent state actions, (even before the SCOTUS ruling making homosexual marriage legal across the nation), punished people of faith who did not approve of homosexual marriage with large ďŹ nes and enforcement that caused business closures because they refused to provide services for homosexual marriage ceremonies.

Homosexuals targeted these businesses and ďŹ led complaints with civil rights commissions at state levels instead of looking for businesses that

did not have religious objections to the homosexual lifestyle. The heavy hand of politically correct media and public agencies was used to punish small businesses in Indiana and Washington State.

Given the history of homosexual activism, the SCOTUS ruling actually created a new level of law with historically unspeciďŹ ed rights and set the stage for attacks by State and Federal agencies on any religious or business organization that refuses to cater to homosexual preferences.

The 10th Amendment states, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.�

But, SCOTUS has basically eliminated the 10th Amendment and has become a rogue band of Oligarchs who make up law as they see ďŹ t with no adherence to the guidelines that made the nation great.

America could be entering its own “Dark Ageâ€? similar to medieval Europe or third world dictatorships today where laws do not apply to everyone in the same way and laws are created for the beneďŹ t of special classes without re-

gard to the Constitution or the religious beliefs and values of its citizens.

Every citizen needs to read the Constitution, understand its protections for all citizens, and understand why it limited large Federal government.

2015 Basin Highlights Report examines region’s water quality The Houston-Galveston Area Council, in conjunction with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and local Clean Rivers Program partners, is pleased to announce the completion and release of the 2015 Basin Highlights Report, How’s the Water?.

This report provides the reader with an overview of the quality of our region’s surface waters as well as trends. The report also takes a detailed look at five specific waterbodies in the region to identify the current water quality conditions and trends, sources of pollution, what is being done about the problems, and who is working on them.

So, How’s the Water?

Overall, water quality is improving; however, more than 80% of waterways in the HGAC region fail to meet water quality standards, or screening criteria, for one or more parameters. Bacteria continue to be the most prevalent impairment. Other regional issues include the presence of PCB/ Dioxin in edible fish tissue, as well as high levels of Nutrients and low levels of Dissolved Oxygen in the water.

Second Mile Launches Onsite Resale Shop Open to the Public June 1 marked the opening of The Opportunity Shop, Second Mile Mission Center’s first social enterprise. The shop, located at Second Mile in Missouri City, offers high quality resale clothing, shoes and accessories at a significantly reduced price.

The Opportunity Shop was birthed as a direct response to surveys of people served by Second Mile. They identified getting and keeping a job as one of their greatest challenges. This venture will employ people in need to earn regular income, gain job skills and experience, and build long-term mentoring relationships.

The store began with seed funding from the United Way

and donated items from the public.

Revenues generated by the store will help support the programs at Second Mile, including its Neighbor Choice Food Pantry and Pat McWaters Health Clinic.

“We are seeing an increasing number of people in need, and we’re working to serve them in a deeper way,” said Sarah White, Executive Director. “The job training and mentoring opportunity will have a life-changing impact on employees, and the store revenues will help us serve more people, more deeply.”

The Opportunity Shop is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The ad-

dress is 1135 Highway 90A off of Dream Ct. Regular volunteers are needed for the store. Interested volunteers can contact (281) 261-9199 ext. 13 to get

started.

Donations of gently used clothing are accepted during Second Mile’s operating hours.

Legacy Ford gets Frank M. Adams award FILM: Ted 2

Patrick Sexton, left, General Managing/Partner, Legacy Ford and George Patterson, Texana CEO

Union Pacific Mini-train rolls in for July 4 celebration in Missouri City ALL ABOARD! For the first time in “Show Me City” history, Union Pacific Train No. 956 will roll into Missouri City on July 4, signaling loads of more Independence Day fun for residents and visitors. Passengers will be treated to free rides around the City Hall Complex, 1522 Texas Pkwy., from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. The minitrain will board guests in front of the Community Center; to easily access the pickup site, participants may use the newly-opened Thomas Taylor Parkway and Scanlin Road; public parking is available in the Missouri City Library lot. Families will also be treated to face painting designs and may purchase snacks from event vendors.

Then, after the UP mini-train has made its final stop, another set of fantastic July 4 fun will kick off at 6 p.m. at Buffalo Run Park and in the stadium parking lot of Thurgood Marshall High School, 1122 Buffalo Run Blvd.

Free festivities at the main event will include amusement rides, a rock wall, inflatables, human hamster balls, a video gaming station and a fireworks show at 9:15 p.m. Seating for the show will be available in the high school stadium and guests may bring blankets and chairs and sit on the football field. The City has partnered with METRO to provide free bus rides to the main event from the Missouri City Park & Ride at Beltway 8 and Fondren Road. Food trucks will be selling food. The event will also have shaved ice, barbecue, Cajun food, burgers, tamales and turkey legs for sale. Parking will be available at the high school and at 14501 Fondren Rd.

Texana’s community partner, Legacy Ford, was given the Frank M. Adams Community Award for Outstanding Volunteer Service at the Texas Council on Community Centers’ Annual Conference in Houston.

This award is given to a company that distinguishes themselves as people who love, care and shows compassion for people with intellectual disabilities.

Patrick Sexton, General Manager/Partner with Legacy Ford was on hand to accept the award in front of an audience of over 500 conference attendees.

The audience saw a short video showing why Legacy Ford had been chosen for this prestigious award. They learned how involved Legacy Ford has been with Texana Center over the past 6 years; sponsoring and attending various Texana events, hosting holiday markets and other events benefiting Texana Center in their showroom, contracting for shredding, employing Texana clients and leading our Community Advisory Board.

George Patterson, CEO said “We are extremely lucky to have Legacy Ford in our community. The support that Ron Ewer and all of his staff give to Texana Center is very much appreciated. Nominating them for this award is just a small way in which we and the all Texas Community Centers can say thank you. I can think of no other company that deserves this award more than Legacy Ford. We hope that our community partnership will continue for many years to come”.

This movie can be explained in two words: Seth MacFarlane. Yeah, that’s right; the same genius that created the “Family Guy” series, and has had a hugely successful run on TV for 17 years. He cowrote, directed, produced, and stars as the voice of Ted. As a reminder, Ted is a commonlooking teddy bear who came to life in the first movie “Ted” in 2012 as a result of a wish by his childhood friend Johnny (Mark Wahlberg).

Ted can talk and walk and even has gotten married to dumb-blond Tami-Lynn; beautifully played by the gumchewing Jessica Barth. She’s not a dumb blonde because she married a teddy bear; she just lacks the common sense that God gave a goose. But she’s cute and looks really hot

in a white wedding dress.

Ted and Tami-Lynn hit the skids on their marriage and conjure up that having a baby will solve their marital woes.

Problem: Ted is a stuffed teddy bear so they seek a sperm donor. And those efforts are hilarious. MacFarlane serves up one bit followed by an outlandish gag only to have a weird twist or a bizarre cameo appearance by Liam Neeson, Jay Leno, or Tom Brady. The hilarity and silliness never stops.

MacFarlane’s sense of humor is a cross between bawdy and bodacious with a sprinkle of vulgarity. Example: the F word is used so often that one might think the actors are getting paid by the F Bomb.

And his movies are shrewd and often kick the audience in

the funny bone to see if they will laugh at crudeness and that never-let-up MacFarlane shtick. He has boundaries in Ted 2; they encircle the world.

Nothing is sacred.

Few people laughed louder or harder than I did at Theatre #5 at my AMC. But “Ted 2” is still a frivolous film which requires a large and deep suspension of one’s reality and that’s not so bad.

Here’s some great news: AMC is now selling Twinkies.

Not some knock-off but the hard stuff straight from Hostess. I didn’t buy a Twinkie, but I held one in my hand and dreamed about it.

Rock ‘n Roll.
