In Dallas County, I blame the Democrats. In Tarrant and Collin counties, I blame the Republicans. In total, I blame every single reader who ever has voted the straight party line. For good measure, I’ll even blame the Libertarians, although they seem like innocent sorts.
In Tarrant County, it is the GOP that dominates with straight-ticket voting. For County Probate Court No. 2, they elected Pat Ferchill. This judge appears to have turned his probate court into a racket, holding ex parte hearings with favored attorneys, terminating guardianship rights of parents over their disabled children, and taking advantage of the elderly. Fort Worth Weekly and the Texas Tribune have done an excellent job of tracking the judge’s suspect rulings.

How do they know who/what they are voting for if discipline charges are not readily available to the general public?
Right, Thelma! Don't blame the voters, blame the judicial committees who turn their heads when they know judges are doing wrong!
Say it again, Thelma! You're spot on!
The elections of Judges are the most important election that one can participate in. Judges are the folks that make decisions about our lively hood. Please do not vote simply by party only, become a informed voter especially when voting for Judges.
