Judge James Keeshan Jr. of Conroe, TX; Judge Roy Bean Wannabee 
FYI: Judge Roy Bean was a saloon-keeper and Justice of the Peace in Val Verde County, Texas, who called himself "The Law West of the Pecos." He was also referred to as the "hanging judge."
The state of Texas provided Robert Crawford Jenevein with a law license in 1966 after he graduated from the University of Texas Law School.
The Texas Judicial Commission found James guilty of the following misconduct while he sat as a District Court Judge in Montgomery County.
In one instance while he was boozing it up at a local bar, Jimmy initiated a physical confrontation with another customer that resulted in a criminal charge being filed against him for disorderly conduct, to which he entered a plea of no contest (guilty). Jimmy consumed 4-6 beers preceding the incident and immediately left the scene after being told the police had been called.
In another matter, Jimmy engaged in official oppression when he ordered attorney Norman Silverman arrested on a writ of attachment, which is a tool used to bring subpoenaed witnesses before a court or a grand jury. At the time Silverman missed a court hearing because of an ankle injury. As a result of Jimmy’s abusive conduct, Silverman remained in jail for six hours.
Patrick McCann, then president of the lawyer’s association said Jimmy’s actions constituted an abuse of power. “I have heard of other cases where judges crossed the line, but this was so egregious we felt we had to take action, McCann said. “Of all people, judges have to respect, not only the law, but fair play.”
Mr. Silverman said he was “just shocked” by Jimmy’s actions. “I can fully appreciate now what it’s like to be incarcerated without due process,” Silverman said. Apparently, Jimmy is of the opinion that due process is the means by which the grass gets moist in the a.m.
As a consequence of his misconduct, the cheerleaders for Judicial Misfits sitting on the Texas Supreme Court punished Jimmy by gifting him with a complimentary admonition.
In an effort to forever cement his status as a die-in-the-wool enabler for Judicial Misfits, Chief Just Wallace Jefferson has the temerity to continue to appoint Jimmy as a visiting retired judge. This type of abhorrent behavior is further proof as to why the vast majority of Texans have total contempt for the manner in which Judicial Misfits are made to answer for their misconduct.
