CORPUS CHRISTI — The newly created district attorney position for Kleberg and Kenedy counties could help lessen jail overcrowding and case backlogs.

Gov. Rick Perry appointed John Hubert, who will be sworn in today in Austin, as the district attorney for the two counties.

Since 2005, officials from both counties have hoped to ease the growing workload of 105th District Attorney Carlos Valdez, who was tasked with handling cases in Nueces, Kleberg and Kenedy counties.

But up until the recent 80th legislative session a bill to create the position had been unsuccessful.

Kleberg County Judge Pete De La Garza credited Sen. Eddie Lucio Jr., D-Brownsville, for carrying the legislation and said it will benefit all three counties.

"This is a win-win for us," De La Garza said. "(Valdez) did an excellent job for us but it just got too voluminous."

It also will help with the county's jail overcrowding by allowing prisoners to go through the court process quicker, De La Garza added.

Valdez, who was not available for comment Friday, has said that with another district attorney for those two counties he can refocus his efforts on tackling Nueces County cases.

Hubert, a Kingsville resident, will have felony jurisdiction, while the County Attorney's Office will continue to handle misdemeanor cases.

Hubert, who received two Bronze Stars, led a tank platoon in combat in the Gulf War.

He served as an assistant district attorney of Nueces County for a year and as an assistant district attorney for Kleberg and Kenedy Counties for four years.

"This is one of those jobs where I can really make a difference," Hubert said. "One of the major goals is to basically get the whole process done on a more timely schedule."

The Army Reserves major is the commander of Headquarters and Headquarters Company 451st Civil Affairs Battalion in Pasadena.

Kenedy County Judge J.A. Garcia was not available for comment on Friday.

The two counties have a combined population of about 33,000. The state will provide all the funding for the new district attorney position, including Hubert's $125,000 annual salary along with $19,833 in benefits and a $3,500 car allowance. Another $33,500 a year in funding to operate the district attorney's office also will be provided by the state, De La Garza said.

This man John Hubert is not fit to serve the people. He is a malicious prosecutor. Next week a Federal Lawsuit will be filed against the 105th District, Kleberg County, City of Kingsville, John Hubert alleging Civil Rights Violations, prosecution for personal interests, abuse of power, official oppression, falsifying documents, malicious prosecution, jury tampering with more to be listed upon the filing of the lawsuit next week. It is possible that this case will evolve into a class action lawsuit to engulf the Uranium Processing, the groundwater contamination and the complicity of Gov Rick Perry, Kleberg County, and the City of Kingsville.

Dear TWC Executive Staff

Attn: John Moore

I have read the response that you have provided and it is appreciated, your timely response; thank you. It appears you have read the 13th Court of Appeals Opinion however this opinion is ignoring current administrative law as per TPU 105. Either the law is wrong or Mary Cano and the Texas Workforce advised us in an unbonafied manor. The 13th Court of Appeals is in no position to deem the tesatimony of a key material witness uneffectual. The essence of Mary Cano is not Mary Cano testifying in open court as a material witness. I am requesting a full investigation and deposition of Mary Cano. The appearance of Mary Cano, well just let me say, if the prosecution would have wanted her there she would have been there, if the state would have wanted her there she would have been there, if the TWC would have wanted her there it would have been there. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I am sorry we could not reach any other resolution than the bureaucratic one. I will continue with this appeal for justice.

Mr. and Mrs. Haley,

I have reviewed the information that you provided, as well as the relevant Court of Appeals opinion on the criminal case against LeeAnn Haley that is on appeal to the Court of Criminal Appeals from the 13 ^th Court of Appeals. As the Court of Appeals opinion clearly noted, the substance of what the appellant (LeeAnn Haley) argues is that it was error that Ms. Cano (a TWC employee at the time of the offense in question) was not called to testify in the trial. However, the Court of Appeals opinion indicates that what would have testified to at trial if LeeAnn Haley's attorney had called Ms. Cano was received into testimony at trial through LeeAnn Haley's husband (Anton Haley). Therefore, the substantive issue about TWC's policy in regards to substitute teaching not counting as employment was before the jury and the jury still decided against Ms. Haley and convicted her. The Court of Appeals examined the entire trial record and affirmed the trial court conviction.

You have requested that TWC take the following actions in response to your requests:

It is requested this entity support Petitioner's motion requesting appointment of counsel and ask the court to abate all proceedings until counsel has been provided. This is in the best interest of all parties.

TWC does not have the statutory authority or legal standing to request appointment of counsel nor to ask the Court of Criminal Appeals to abate all proceedings until Counsel has been provided. This is only within the jurisdiction of the Court.

It is requested this entity initiate communications with the Texas Judiciary and inform the court of the peculiar circumstances regarding Mary Cano and her incompellability.

TWC does not have the statutory authority or legal standing to communications with the Court of Criminal Appeals. TWC will respond to the Court of Criminal Appeals if that Court requests a response.

TWC does not have the statutory authority or legal standing support your request for appointment of counsel nor to ask the Court of Criminal Appeal to abate all proceedings until Counsel has been provided. This is only within the jurisdiction of the Court.

It is requested a full investigation be conducted into The Texas Workforce operations under Oscar Martinez with in depth depositions of Mary Cano, Chandra Lewis, Cecelio Trevino and others involved in the Malicious Prosecution, Manipulation of JOB Opportunities, official oppression and abuse of power / position surrounding this case.

I will forward this request to LaSha Lenzy, who is the Director of the Unemployment Insurance Division. Ms. Lenzy is the person who would review your request to determine if action should be taken.

It is requested a friend of the court letter be addressed to the Texas Judiciary regarding the controlling administrative law under the WIA umbrella, specifically the TWC, the now defunct TDHS, the TWIST system and the APPEALS POLICY AND PRECEDENT MANUAL TOTAL AND PARTIAL UNEMPLOYMENT that governs employment status. For this agency to acknowledge the intricacies and the inconsistencies due to power struggles between the TWC & TDHS despite the controlling WIA legislation. Both the TWC & the TDHS are governed by the same employment guidelines and definitions. The TWC & the TDHS are governed by the Appeals and Precedent Manual and the determination of unemployment status per TPU (Total Partial Unemployment). It is requested these issues be addressed in particular to the disposition of the employment status of Anton S Haley and Substitute Teaching as exclaimed by Mary Cano.
