Texas’ highest criminal appellate court declined to hear a petition for discretionary review in the case of John Chambers, former chief of the Indian Lake Police Department, who sought to have 14 misdemeanor counts of tampering with governmental records reversed.
The petition was the second filed at the Court of Criminal Appeals (CCA) by Chambers. It was published on Tuesday under a section listing petitions for review the court has chosen not to re-litigate.
In August 2017, Chambers appealed his convictions at CCA, which found that evidence was insufficient to show that Chambers ordered a subordinate officer to falsify firearms qualification records with intent to defraud or harm the state.
(That subordinate was Alfredo Avalos, his assistant chief. A Cameron County grand jury has since charged Avalos, now a lieutenant with the Bishop Police Department, with two counts of misuse of official information for accessing the Texas Law Enforcement Telecommunications System – TLETS – last October for nonofficial purposes to get information on two vehicles parked in a Brownsville driveway 2020-DCR-01558.)
Chambers' case was remanded to the 13th Court, which reversed the convictions, sending the case back to the trial court for a new punishment hearing. He faces up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $4,000 on each count.
Chambers again appealed to CCA in June, seeking to potentially have those misdemeanors reviewed and reversed.

Puro culo!
All Trump's haters always whining and butt hurted. So what do they want? A 47 yrs senile politician, who can barely do a press event without taking a nap afterwards. A guy who China has in their pocket! A guy waving at an empty field! I can go on forever on this left wing puppet! Bolas de pendejos if vote for this elderly dementia candidate!
The Herald is fact resistant. On Wednesday at 8:45 a.m. the court of criminal appeals under its order for the 16th said they would be released at 9. Your quote is from the herald which says it happened on Tuesday. Nope - as late as 8:45 a.m. on Wednesday the Court of Criminal Appeals was reporting they would not release the opinion until 9 a.m. Unless it is an emergency opinion or order the CCA releases its orders and opinions every Wednesday at 9 a.m.
I am not challenging you, you just quoted the Herald's lie. But I want to make sure people know the Herald lied or simply does not care about accuracy. I am ashamed to admit I more than once have relied on the Heralds inaccurate reporting.
Juan you have better sources on some of this than I do. Why did Saenz release his video attacking Garza on the death penalty case?
i am rejecting comments explaining this because there is no proof, but where there is smoke there is fire. The fact Elvira Ortiz wrote the CCA to blame Garza for a missing habeas file tells you Saenz and Ortiz are not team Garza.
Ricardo Cornejo is in fear of having no job if Garza loses. Just keep on digging. There is a reason Saenz and Ortiz as Democrats in high profile positions have gone after Garza.

You can read the defeated hatred in the comments. The Reynas are so enraged because they were defeated. They will stop at nothing to keep some power and allies with positions or contracts. The fact remain that Chambers is pending sentencing and the Reynas are once again defeated. County employees know exactly who they are and now all the citizens of the county.
