I had filed a motion for Discovery in September. I thought that once the prosecutor got a look at all the misconduct and fraud committed by code inspector, Dawood Haq, they would simply dismiss the tickets rather than let it go to trial and have his conduct become public record. No such luck.
The Garland, Texas municipal court has a very effective system that maximizes their incoming revenue. Here is how it works when someone is issued a citation...
The defendant appears in court and meets briefly with the prosecutor. The defendant can plead guilty and pay the fine or they can plead not guilty and request a trial by judge or jury.
In my case, I requested a trial by jury.
