Well, my Google Fu there is weak today. But in looking for that, I turned up this tidbit:The Annoyed Man wrote: ↑Sat Sep 19, 2020 1:43 pm So how much time was served? I need to know, because it may impact my decision to commit embezzlement.

It's a good thing that our District Judges are such such fine, upstanding citizens and members of our community; absolutely above reproach.A former Harris County District Judge, who was indicted on wire fraud charges last year, has been arrested again, according to court records. She is accused of assaulting her husband’s girlfriend.
Alexandra Smoots-Thomas was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon Wednesday. According to court records, she fired a shotgun in the direction of a woman outside a home in the 1400 block of Jewel Meadow Drive on Monday....
Smoots-Thomas is out on bond and not permitted to possess a weapon.
Evidently her hearing in federal court for the wire fraud charge wasn't scheduled until November. The fact that she pleaded guilty this week may well have something to do with this assault with a deadly weapon charge. Her federal court bond may have been revoked after the shotgun arrest.
I do love the way that her attorney described the events of the ADW charge: "My client was in a car and the other woman was outside the car. I believe she was carrying a club or some sort of stick with the intent to assault my client and a gun appeared. A shot was fired but nobody was hurt."
Emphasis mine. Ya know, if those magically-appearing shotguns are for sale somewhere--you know, just wish for it and it appears out of thin air--I may be in the market. Talk about concealed carry!
