What is the name of your state? TX
OK the story starts here: Attorney X is trying to flip some real estate. He is buying property from his client for his own corporation and then reselling it to the USPS. He can't make his deal. the Texas Historic commission says it historic and won't let the USPS tear the buildings down. He tells his client to see if I want to buy the property because I've been interested in it before. The client faxes offer to sell. Then attorney calls and threatens to sue me if I buy it. My attorney sends letter asking if he has contract - no reply. Client denys he has contract with Attorney X as well. I buy property then Attorney X sues me and the USPS claiming that I interferred with his contracts with his client and that he had a contract with the USPS that they promised to sign but never returned to him. I spent 2.5 years - four amended complaints in court and am dismissed right before trial and so he can avoid taking my deposition.
Now for the Libel slander. Attorney X ran for Justice of the Peace as the above case is pending. I write letter to editor supporting the incumbant. Attorney X didn't file any of his campaign report required the the Texas Election code. I turn him into the TEC and he is sanctioned. The newspaper does a story about the sanction. The morning I filed the TEC complaint was the morning of the election. I called the radio station to tell the listeners that I was filling the complaint and why.
I also filed complaints with the Bar for conflict of interest in the real estate deal (how could he fairly represent his client and his copr and tell his client to sell and sue me etc?) and violation of the TEC. The Bar did not find any professional misconduct. Attoney X confused the confidential nature of the Bar hearings with the public nature of the TEC sanction. He claimed I told everyone about the bar. I did not. How do you prove a negative? He filed a slander libel petition in state court using information he gleaned from the Bar hearing and claims I filed a false affidavit in the bar hearing. (I did not). He did not obtain leave of the bar to release the file. He is asking me to produce the material I filed in the Bar Grievances. Do I have to? It hasn't been released yet. I don't care, I didn't say anything false. I'd actually like for it to be released but I question the appropriateness of giving him these papers under the rules. Mostly there are his own documents and letters which indicate that he told his client to sell the property to me and letters threatening to sue state officials and some folks who didn't want to vacate their lease purchase.
This guy is a notorious bully, the kind that give you lawyers a very bad name. <that's my opinion. He's suing me because I said it was my opinion that he was a bully. He claimed I filed a false police report. I filed a report that said that he violated the Texas Election code by not filing his forms on time which is a class C misdemeanor. He claims that is libel per se. The thing is, he didn't file his forms on time, none of them. He got sanctioned. He claims he signed an Agreed Order and that he isn't culpable, that his manager forgot to file them. The code says that the candidate is responsible. He signed a form that said he understood the Texas election code when he filed for office. The police filed my report under fraud swindle because they didn't have a category for Texas election code violation. I say he's trying to prevent me from complaining about his actions to the athorities by suing me and threatening to sue me. He is one of the few republicans who lost. He only got votes of people who pulled straight tickets. I couldn't imagine giving him any power over anyone for any reason which I why I filed the TEC complaint and went public. Is this a nightmare or what? Thanks for the place to vent. I feel better already.
