Note to Josh: Lucy Ann bragged about you letting her know that you “have a good relationship with the Ellis county DA”, yeah the low life from Waxahachie who came here to save Parnell from the truth for Josh too. Hmm, guess lawyers who cannot make a living in private practice have a club.
Josh Tetens is a crook. He prosecutes things that should not be prosecuted and has NO PROBLEM giving sweet deals or just sweeping crooked dealings by his buds under the rug just like he did for Parnell.
I think it’s time to try out Pat Curry’s removal law.

Harry,
I just wanted to voice my opinion I hope that you find it worthwhile to share.
McLennan County, at what point do people finally say enough?
We have a JP runoff happening, and I’ve now heard from multiple people before I continue my rant, I’m not affiliate with Harry Storm at all just a citizen who happens to work in the legal field. These allegations consist of Lucy Ann that is a sitting JP and an assistant of hers using county resources to print election materials and distribute them on county time. And campaign on county time…
And before anyone says citizens should ignore it, let’s remember something else voters may not know or may have forgotten: prior to being elected to the current JP position, the sitting JP Lucy Ann was convicted in a theft case involving a former city position — something that was publicly reported by KWTX before the election.
Think about that for a minute.
If the allegations are true, we’re talking about taxpayer-funded resources being used for political purposes. Your money. Your county equipment. Your county time.
Those concerns were reportedly brought to District Attorney Josh Tetens, who allegedly said he would “look into it”, while also stating he had a “really good relationship with the Ellis County District Attorney” and would need to recuse himself because the matter involved McLennan County.
Now here’s where this starts sounding like a bad political sitcom.
This is the same Ellis County DA connected to the Parnell McNamara shit show— the same situation where questions have been raised about recusal issues and investigations. The same ongoing saga citizens have watched drag on while asking: where is the accountability?
At some point people have to ask: are we watching justice happen, or are we watching the good old boy system protect itself? Were is Josh Tetens during all of this?
Because from the outside looking in, it sure starts feeling like if you know the right people, donate to the right campaigns, cash in favors, or ride into office under the right political umbrella, of Parnell
McNamara an entirely different set of rules applies.
And before anybody starts with the usual “trust the process,” people have trusted the process. For years.
Look around. Citizens are frustrated. They’re tired of watching allegations get passed around like a hot potato while everyone conveniently steps aside.
You complain about taxes.
You complain about waste.
You complain about corruption.
Then at some point citizens have to decide whether they’re willing to tolerate it.
Because silence is exactly how these systems survive.
I will never understand the good old boy system.
What I understand even less is why people keep accepting it.
Because when citizens stop demanding accountability, government at every level gets exactly what it thinks it can get away with.
