To the Clerk of the El Paso Criminal Law Magistrate Court,
CC: Council of Judges, Mayor Oscar Leeser, Brian Kennedy, All Judges, Media, All Police Departments in the El Paso District, Sheriffs

Dear District Clerk, Mrs. Bernadette Medrano,
and Clerk Staff,

We are writing to alert you to the fact that the individuals currently presiding as judges in the El Paso Criminal Law Magistrate Court lack legal authority under the Texas Constitution. According to the Texas Constitution, all judges serving in a countywide jurisdiction court, such as the El Paso Criminal Law Magistrate Court, must be elected. The current judges were appointed and therefore lack the authority to preside, rendering their actions unlawful. Their appointments since 2015 by the Council of Judges were made without legal justification.

We have made multiple reports and are aware that multiple active investigations are ongoing. We request that your office conduct an immediate review, as we are confident that our claims will be validated. Consequently, we urge your office to cease accepting orders or documents filed by these individuals who are unlawfully acting as countywide magistrate court judges without having been elected.

If your office continues to accept documents or orders from these individuals, it would implicate your office in violating the due process and civil rights of all defendants who have appeared or will appear before these illegitimate judges. This situation is particularly concerning, as it affects cases such as that of our son, Richard Halliday, the confirmed murdered Fort Bliss whistleblower. Prior to his death, Richard was unlawfully targeted by this court. Furthermore, the judge in his case had no legitimate authority in this court to issue orders, as none of the judges were ever elected, as required by the Texas Constitution.

Furthermore, we wish to emphasize that the District Clerk’s Office had no authority to accept the bond order and arraignment in our son’s case. The actions taken by these unelected judges are not only invalid but also undermine the integrity of the judicial process.

Additionally, It is also widely known that Patrick Crusius, the defendant in the Walmart mass shooting case who is facing the death penalty, was also brought and processed before this court, before an unelected judge.

We trust that you will take this matter seriously and act accordingly to uphold the integrity of the judicial system. We are copying the Attorney general on this matter.

Sincerely,
