Attorney Terry Canales of Alice, TX; pervert, scofflaw

 
Previously, Terry Canales presided over the District Court in Jim Wells County, Texas.
 
Judge Terry Canales was disciplined twice (repeater) by the Texas Judicial Commission and Texas Supreme Court for misconduct, which is set forth below.
 
Burning utility poles
 
In 1999, Judge Terry Canales set fire to and destroyed five (5) utility poles owned by Central Power & Light Company in order to clear an area on his property to build a stock pond. Terry was never criminally charged for his conduct. Surprised? And why should he have been since as we all know judges are held to a “lower standard of conduct” then we are, right?
 
Sexual Assault of Court Employees
 
The judicial commission found evidence that Judge Terry Canales had sexually harassed and assaulted three women in different incidents in his court chambers.
 
The victims were former employee Liana Barrera (27), Rosario Hernandez (18), a former employee of the DA’s office and Frances Delgado (21), the daughter of his former court bailiff.
 
Judge Terry Canales’ hyperbolic (BS) defamation lawsuit
 
In May 1999, Judge Terry Canales sued a county commissioner for slander and libel regarding a flier being distributed in Alice. The fliers called Terry “sleazy” (true) and accused him and other courthouse employees of sexual misconduct (also true). 
 
Judge Terry Canales said Commissioner Zenaida Sanchez passed out fliers in the courthouse and faxed them from her office. Terry said the fliers appeared soon after former courthouse secretary Cynthia Barrera filed a civil suit accusing him of sexual assault and stalking. 
 
It seems to me as though Judge Terry Canales was and is “defamation proof,” meaning no matter what you say about him or his conduct, you can’t possibly defame him.
 
Attorney Terry Canales sought District Attorney Post
 
Only four months after the Texas Supreme Court barred Terry Canales from the bench, he then had the chutzpah to run for district attorney. Fortunately, the voters would have none of it and Terry was told to take a hike. 
Conclusion
 
If ya live anywhere near Alice, Texas I would strongly urge you to avoid employing the services of attorney Terry Canales. Of course if you’re looking for an attorney to help you destroy someone’s property and/or sexually harass an employee, then maybe Terry Canales is your man so to speak.
