It’s Not Punny Anymore

Aw, Hecht, Texas Watch’s close eye on state Supreme Court justice Nathan Hecht has outlasted even our tireless capacity for titles with bad puns.
The latest update: TW has filed an additional, separate complaint against Hecht, once again stemming from his efforts to milk lawyers, lobbyists, and litigants with business before the court to pay for efforts to polish his reputation. To review: Hecht has now potentially racked up several ethical violations in order to pay for the hundreds of thousands of dollars he spent to get another ethical admonishment overturned.
In the latest complaint, TW’s executive director Alex Winslow has dug up precedent for another Texas judge who raised funds similar in a way similar to Hecht’s and received an ethical reprimand. You can read TW’s full description of the latest complaint here, and a PDF of their filing is here.
