> This guy doesn't live in East Texas. However, the dad lets these stupid cases into the town to bring business to his son. Really shady. How is this not legally considered a conflict of interest in cases where the judge had relation to one side of the case? I don't know much about the law system but I would assume their are provisions in place to prevent these types of conflicts.
