Ignoring the boorish, ill-mannered behavior for a minute displayed by Norma, Erin and their followers, what about the question: Should a Justice of the Peace be a lawyer? Does it help?
Recently, a longtime Houston Justice of the Peace commented on the matter: "Actually, being a lawyer does NOT help you to be a good justice of the peace. This common court is not about lawyering, but about common sense and life experience. Law school doesn't qualify you as a JP. In fact, every elected justice of the peace, lawyer or non-lawyer has to immediately receive 80 hours of training, then 20 hours annually about the role. It's a different set of skills."
Perhaps, this is why in Cameron County:
Justice of the Peace, Precinct 1, Bennie Ochoa, is NOT a lawyer.
Justice of the Peace, Precinct 2-1, Linda Salazar, is NOT a lawyer.
Justice of the Peace, Precinct 2-2, Kip V. Johnson Hodge, is a lawyer.
Justice of the Peace, Precinct 3-1, Julian Sanchez, is NOT a lawyer.
Justice of the Peace, Precinct 3-2, David Garza, is NOT a lawyer.
Justice of the Peace, Precinct 4, Manuel Flores, Jr. is NOT a lawyer.
Justice of the Peace, Precinct 5-1, Sally Gonzalez, is NOT a lawyer.
Justice of the Peace, Precinct 6, Juan Mendoza, is NOT a lawyer.
Justice of the Peace, Precinct 7-1, Adam Gonzalez is NOT a lawyer.
Erin Hernandez Garcia would have you believe that MOST of those serving as Justice of the Peace in Cameron County are not qualified to serve because they are not lawyers. Actually, the opposite is true. The above folks have life experience, compassion and empathy; the very traits Erin lacks.

ReplyDeleteLOL! Jim, are you attempting to ruin her or help her out? Cause if I had anything, whatsoever, to do with that place I'd deny it.

Hey, Jim, you need to verify your data. Kip Van Hodge is a lawyer....maybe others on the list are also. Erin is a lawyer, but most of all she is Ernie Hernandez daughter and that family is prone to corruption and serving themselves. She probably can't make it financially as a lawyer...too much work....and seeks to grab on to the public tit....like her dad.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I made the correction.
DeleteGREAT POST TO ANONYMOUS PERSON OF JUNE 24 AT 3:40 P.M. U GOT IT SO RIGHT! THE HERNANDEZ FAMILY IS NOTORIOUS FOR "ILLEGAL" ACTIVITY AND BEYOND THE SCOPE OF PROPER ETHICS! PLZ VOTERS VOTE FOR A PERSON THAT HAS BEEN THRU LIFE HARDSHIPS!! BEING A LAWYER IS NOT "ALL THAT" OF PRESTIGE..LOTS AND LOTS OF WORK, HARDSHIP AND ESPECIALLY TRYING TO COLLECT MONEY FOR UR CLIENTS..BEEN THERE DONE THAT! GO MS. BEGUM! :)
DeleteI don't know the woman, but she is very unattractive, pobrecita.
ReplyDeleteSince when does a person did to be "pretty" to be in that position! We do not live in Hollywood!! WT HELL! Read up on the BEGUM FAMILY! Mr. Begum, Sr. was a great business man..he worked for his money..he did not "steal" and "cheat" from the public and our taxpayers! Now, look at the HERNANDEZ FAMILY TREE! Corruption and too many favor for his family members for positions w/in the city and county...NEPOTISM...Plz look at the history..u might just be surprised in what u find out..google the info. and u just might change ur mind and comment..I respect ur comment, however, I feel u are wrong in saying she is "unattractive"..Many other judges are fat, lazy and gonna be indicted for wrong doing...it's bad enough our judicial system is corrupted..our ppl in Cameron County DO NOT NEED ANY MORE CORRUPTION!!
DeleteNo wonder the Hernandezes are so adamant about winning at all cost, she is probably drooling with anticipation about all the cases she is going to send to herself, like her father with the wreckers, the vending machines the printing company and all the jobs to their clan of convicted felons. One more source of illegal income for these people! Shameless!!
ReplyDeleteU GOT IT RIGHT....I jus commented on the June 24th post that she is inattractive...THIS COUNTY IS NOW HOLLYWODD? Plz...spare us taxpayers the CORRUPTION W THE HERNANDEZ FAMILY...u are so right in ur comment.!!! :)
Deleteto Winton Marsalis,
ReplyDeleteThe people from Cameron Park are people too, sometimes with more values and morals than our own elected officials, don't be a racist pig

That's all we need, another unethical lawyer is a county job.......boycot the Hernandez! All over!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to vote no on electing more Hernandez's. Let's stop the dynasty at Ernie. Let Erin find a job.
ReplyDeleteWhats matter Jim getting worried aren't we? It funny how you, Montoya, and Mchale are so desperate that you all actually think these blogs of yours make a difference in any election. You all are beyond pathetic. You are are nothing but a bunch of lame limp dicks seeking attention cause no one ever gives you all the time of day or creditability.
ReplyDeleteTypical Erin syntax, spelling and vulgarity. Thanks for this little glimpse of your mindset.

LOL!

I disagree with this Houston Justice of the Peace, who you accidentally left off their name and occupational background.
ReplyDeleteCorrect me if I am wrong, Jim, but aren't judges required to attend classes regardless of their legal experience? And aren't those judges also lawyers? So the argument that JPs have to attend classes regardless of their educational background is a best a flimsy argument for this alleged Houston JP. I'll concede to you there is a significant portion of the electorate that is tired of lawyers holding office. Those ambulance chasers wear it like it's the mark of greatness and plaster it on freeway billboards in and around town. But it still is not sufficient of me to argue against lawyers when you have a poorly educated individual running for office compared to an idividual that at least went to law school as is happening in this election.
It's an interesting election. The voters must decide if they prefer formal education versus life education. To be blunt to the Begum campaign, will stop it with the she had cancer? It's morbid. You might as well run a ghost campaign with her picture and that of her late husband. And we all know how successful a campaign like that is in the history of Cameron County politics.
Whatever happens after the Runoff, please ask the newly elected Democratic chairwoman if she will support the Democrat or her Republican brother-in-law running for the same position?
Yes Erin, most intelligent people in Brownsville are worried about you getting elected, it would be disastrous for our community to have another corrupt Hernandez in office, and the one showing a desperate pathetic behavior is you and your clan. You bring your law degree as your big asset, and a degree per se does not mean anything, it is what you do with it, and so far you have not done anything but brake the law
ReplyDeleteOh Erin, don't you wish you could afford the billboards on the highways? and don't you wish you could be as successful as this particular ambulance chaser? you would not have to be running for a humble Justice of the Peace position, this proves that a law degree per se does not mean anything it is what you do with it
ReplyDeleteErin has never even held a job.
ReplyDeleteToday Yolanda Begum and 8 people with the blue logo t shirts came knocking at my door, they were all very pleasant, asking for the vote, right after they left, came 2 ladies with Erin Hernandez t shirts and asked me to give them what the Begum campaign had left and very for efully told me that Yolanda was not a lawyer and that she could not be a justice of the peace because she was not qualified, they went to every house that Yolanda visited. I know Yolanda for Gloria Moreno, and I think this is a very nice and humble person, and I would like to tell her to be careful, this 2 women were following her and trying to collect the literature she left.
ReplyDeletePlease contact the Yolanda Begum campaign via email or Facebook if you have experienced or witnessed Erin Garcia Hernandez's or any of her campaign workers follow Yolanda Begum. If you have been approached by eriin or her people soon after a visit from Yolanda Begum or her campaign workers, please contact the campaign as well. We are collecting affidavits to file a complaint with the Texas ethics commission and potentially file a restraining order.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
Sooooo tired of this Yolanda/Erin cat fight. Can we please hear about something else? There's got to be more to life than discussing these two viejas.
ReplyDeleteNot really a cat fight. The Hernandezes have in other elections attempted to harass, berate and intimidate the candidates running against them and their supporters. Glad the Begum's are stepping up to stop it. This is why it is hard to find good people to run for the office in the Valley, how we get stuck with more Abel Limas and Ernie Hernandez crap in office.
DeleteVote for Raul Lopez..
DeleteYou are sooooooo tired because you are doing the bullying, miss piggy classy people will not slap you or lose composture, so the only way is to expose you
ReplyDeleteAll this is Childish may the best win!!
ReplyDeleteall i know is that the hernandez family is always bashing yolanda, all you hear is negative things comming out of their mouths.. last night i was at the vermillion resturant and i over heard erin talk very bad about yolanda, and i wanted to say something to her that she should not talk about someone behind their backs, but i just stayed quiet and it was so sad seeing our commissioner dist. 2 jessica . should not be hanging out with the clan brownsville cheezmeh it makes her look bad...
ReplyDeletevery disapointed in you jessica tetreu we have information of how you are ernie norma and erin hernandez puppet just like the tortillero commissioner john villarreal
