McLennan County State District Judge Thomas West investigated for alleged inappropriate comments to women: HR report
Report forwarded to State Commission on Judicial Conduct

WACO, Texas (KWTX) – An investigation by the McLennan County Human Resources Department into complaints that a state district judge made inappropriate comments to women found “a pattern of conduct that is unacceptable and must be corrected immediately.”
While the county HR department has no authority to discipline elected officials, a report of its investigation into 19th State District Judge Thomas West revealed the Texas State Commission on Judicial Conduct, the state agency that investigates complaints against judges, sought a copy of the HR report. KWTX obtained the report and other documents related to the investigation through the Public Information Act.
While the investigation was launched after an assistant district attorney complained about comments West made to her, the probe expanded to include reports of other alleged inappropriate comments West made to at least three other women.
The assistant district attorney and one other woman who lodged complaints against the judge declined comment for this story.
West, who has been a judge since 2021, said he is aware of the HR report and cooperated with the investigation. He said he has not been contacted by the Texas State Commission on Judicial Conduct.
He denies making any “derogatory or inappropriate” comments to women, and said he considered his conversation with the complaining assistant district attorney to be “friendly and light-hearted.”
“I have watched every workplace training on county policy, HR issues, sexual harassment, the whole thing,” West said. “Everything you can think of, I have watched. I have watched them all.”
Complaints and other matters pending before the judicial conduct commission are confidential and only become public if the commission takes action, such as sanctions, censures, reprimands or recommending removal from office.
The complaint from the prosecutor details an informal meeting she had with the judge after a hearing in West’s court. West asked when the case was set for trial and the prosecutor, who was pregnant, said it was set for when she returned from maternity leave, according to her statement, which county officials redacted in part after seeking an attorney general’s opinion about whether it should be disclosed.
County officials redacted references to the prosecutor’s pregnancy because of concerns about the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, which protects patient privacy.
“He acted irritated that the case was set so far out,” the statement says. “Judge West then said, “Oh yeah, that’s because of your issue,” and pointed to (redacted). I cannot remember the exact wording that he used next, but he then referred to me in a derogatory term, like I got (redacted) or something to that effect. He further commented that my (redacted) was messing up his trial docket, and he tossed his copy of the hit list docket down into his basket.”
West denied he was “irritated” because the case was postponed by the impending birth and continued to deny the use of derogatory or inappropriate language.
After the defense attorney involved in the hearing left the office, the prosecutor also started to leave when the judge asked her about her pregnancy and plans for other children.
According to her statement, West discouraged her from getting a hysterectomy and said her husband should get a vasectomy. Then the judge made a highly personal comment about his own marriage and experiences with family planning procedures.
“He told me I needed to encourage (redacted) to get a vasectomy and that it is a very easy procedure,” the prosecutor’s statement said. “He told me that I will really enjoy helping (redacted) with the recovery from a vasectomy and gestured to his own penis. He then said that men do not lose their sex drive after getting a vasectomy and that it is very easy to ‘get it up’ and that all I would have to do is ‘grab him by the balls,’ referring to (redacted) and reached his hand out towards the wall and made a grabbing motion with his fist. He then said that he thought I probably already had (redacted) by the balls.”
She wrote that the situation made her “incredibly uncomfortable” and she tried to find a way to end the conversation without being “rude or disrespectful.”
In a supplemental report filed in the case, another assistant district attorney wrote that she encountered her colleague when she returned to the DA’s office and saw that she was “visibly upset.”
Her report recounted what the other assistant district attorney told her about her conversation with West.
Representatives from McLennan County District Attorney Josh Tetens’ office filed complaints against West with the county HR department and with the Texas State Commission on Judicial Conduct, Tetens confirmed.
“As leadership, we have a duty of care for the welfare of our greatest resource: our staff,” Tetens said in a statement. “If we’re informed any person behaves inappropriately toward a member of our team, our duty requires us to take action by reporting the matter, as does McLennan County policy. We take those responsibilities very seriously. We have faith in both the McLennan County Human Resources Department and the Texas Judicial Conduct Commission to handle this matter fairly.”
In what the HR department called secondary reports, other women also reported what they considered inappropriate comments from West, including one who said West refers to women as “whores,” and called a defendant in his courtroom a “crack whore.”
A courthouse employee reported West observed that she had no tan lines “and straight up asked me if I laid out nude and that was why I did not have tan lines.”
West denies these accusations.
In another alleged incident included in the HR report, West talked to a Baylor Law School intern assigned to his court about another student who was going to intern in West’s court.
“He would describe her chest to me and how much he liked her chest,” the report states. “Apparently, she went to the same gym he went to. This is when I went to the Dean at Baylor Law and explained to them what was happening. I also went to them because I was scared for her (incoming intern).”
The former intern, who is not identified in the report, said she asked the law school dean and a faculty adviser for “guidance on what she needed to do so that she would not have to return to the 19th District Court.”
She told West, according to the HR report, that she had enough credits and no longer needed to complete the internship.
“She also states she thought she was the last Baylor intern sent to the 19th District Court, then the program was discontinued after her. (Redacted) and (redacted) also stated (redacted) was the last intern from Baylor Law in the 19th District Court,” the report states.
The report notes that other district courts still have interns from Baylor Law School.
A Baylor spokeswoman declined comment Friday, saying “this is not a Baylor matter.”
West said he isn’t sure if Baylor made a conscious decision not to send his court any more interns, but added he was never notified of that. He said he has never requested another intern.
“The interns can’t really do anything up here legally. They just sit around most of the time and do nothing,” West said of interns.
Under the heading of “8th Incident,” the HR report quotes an unnamed person who said, “I have personally witnessed and heard a lot of sexual comments; it is normal for him to make sexual comments.”
The HR report says West “has cooperated and seems forthcoming with HR.”
“Although some allegations cannot be clearly founded because of the she said/he said nature of when and where they occurred, it should be noted that none of the witnesses have any reason to lie or benefit from lying,” the report states. “In fact, (redacted) came forward knowing that there was the potential for retaliation in cases that she handles. Credibility would seem to weigh in favor of the witnesses.”
Judge Susan Kelly, McLennan County’s local administrative judge, said she is aware of the accusations against West.
“I didn’t see any complaint or allegations,” she said. “I did let the HR department know that I was aware and would defer to them and was available if they needed me. Obviously, I will also defer to the Judicial Conduct Commission.
Judge Dib Waldrip, of New Braunfels, regional administrative judge for the 27-county area that includes McLennan County, said the allegations against West “are not in my purview.”
“There is an agency in Austin that deals with such issues,” he said.
