Download or read book Texas People s Court written by Mark Dunn and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1983 to 1987, author Mark Dunn worked as a court clerk for a justice of the peace in Travis County, Texas, where, he says, “I learned more about human nature . . . than I could have learned in any other job I might have taken up as a bushy-tailed kid from Tennessee.” Based on interviews with 200 justices of the peace from all parts of Texas, Texas People’s Court promises to take readers on a tour of what it means to be a Texas justice of the peace: an experience that is by turns hilarious, sobering, heart-wrenching, and, from one end to the other, fascinating. Here in the Texas justice court, wrongs can be righted and lives changed in profound ways. A priceless family necklace might finally be restored to the rightful owner; an occupational driver’s license fortuitously granted. A death inquest may become an opportunity for family reflection and valediction, with the attending judge as sympathetic witness. In each of its chapters, Texas People’s Court takes up a different aspect, duty, or area of thought related to the profession of justice of the peace taken from conversations with JPs throughout the state of Texas—from those who serve in its most populous municipalities to rural county JPs—putting a human face on the responsibilities, attitudes, and perspectives that motivate their judgments. The result is a thoroughly entertaining, sympathetic view of what Dunn calls “the day-to-day observation of human conflict in microcosm.”
Download or read book Justice in the Cross Timbers written by J M Buchanan and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Box F Ranch foreman, Hack Taylor, was getting settled in his cabin for the night when he heard a voice out of the darkness. A former employee, J. T Finley, straggled in, hatless and afoot, announcing he'd been accused of a murder he didn't commit. Hack vowed to do what was needed to get him out of his predicament and offered him a job at the ranch. However J. T. refused the offer, afraid the lawmen would also arrest Hack for aiding a murderer. Instead, he decided to hide out in a line shack near the ranch. But when the other two ranch hands ran into a posse looking for J. T. in the nearby town of Sycamore Springs, Hack and Box F owner Wilson Forrest decided to bring him back to the ranch. They discovered, however, that the posse had been there first-and had lynched the young cowhand. The two made it their mission to get to the bottom of why he was lynched instead of brought to trial. But they knew they couldn't do it alone. It took the help of two of the most famous Texas Rangers in the state. And together they set out to seek justice in the cross timbers.

Book excerpt: Watrous became the attorney general of the Republic of Texas in 1838 but soon resigned because of conflicts of interest over land speculation. In 1846, he was appointed by President James K. Polk to a new seat on the United States District Court for the District of Texas, where he became the object of severe criticism and ultimately an unsuccessful impeachment. The main charges against him were violating Texas statutes punishing those dealing in fraudulent land certificates, misusing his judicial influence, and holding sessions of court improperly. Because he refused a Confederate appointment during the U.S. Civil War, he was able to retake his seat after the fall of the Confederacy.--Adapted from en.wikipedia.org.
