Judge Jacquelyn Wright of Fort Worth, TX; greedy, lifetime porker

The State Commission on Judicial Conduct Jackie guilty of the following misconduct.

First and foremost, it should be mentioned that Judge Wright has had her significant snout firmly implanted in the public trough for the past twenty-seven (27) years (1991 to 2018).

In one matter, according to the Fort Worth Weekly, Jackie suit against the Tarrant County Republican Party Chair, Jennifer Hall, after her name had been removed from the ballot for re-election as Tarrant County Justice of the Peace for Precinct 4. The article included information from a prior story wherein Jackie told a reporter she feared negative media attention might hurt her chance for re-election and that “she needed another term to qualify for a pension.”

Vickie Philips, Jackie’s opponent challenged her ballot petitions for, among other things, for not containing a party affiliation. Just prior to filing the lawsuit, Jackie sent a letter under the heading “solution” to Tarrant County GOP Chair Jennifer Hall which contains the following statements.

• “The nature of my job requires mediation type solutions. To that end.”
• “There is a win/win solution for the party, Ms. Philips and myself.”
• “At the end of this term, I will have completed 24 years. I must have 25 in order to get to full retirement.”
• “So, I will fight like the dickens to get there.”
• “I must get sworn in January 2015 in order to qualify for the 25 years and full retirement.”
• “That doesn't mean I must fulfill the next term of office.”

Jackie continues with her letter by making the following illegal offers to the GOP.

• “Ms. Phillips withdraws her complaint.”
• “We proceed with the election.”
• “She builds her name recognition.”
• “I will make sure her brushes with the law are not an issue, ever.”
• “She [Philips] has no legal expenses.”
• “The party [GOP] suffers not.
• “I will endorse her for appointment in the unfulfilled term.” (Jackie’s term]
• “I will support her in any future elections.”

The above comments by Jackie prove beyond all doubt that she was willing to sell her judicial office to her opponent for the sole purpose of assuring that she would be able to hose the taxpayers with a fully funded pension.

As a direct consequence of her misconduct, the cheerleaders for Judicial Misfits sitting on the Texas Supreme Court punished Jackie by gifting her with a complimentary public warning.

She was also ordered to obtain 3-hours of training in promoting public confidence in engaging in political activities and integrity of the judiciary. It was rumored that Jimmy chose to enroll in a class held at the Huey “Kingfish” Long Institute for Ethics located on the campus of Louisiana State University (LSU) in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

As we speak (ca. March 2018), Jackie continues to sit as a Justice of the Peace, Precinct 4, Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas.
