That is the part I just don't understand. The city and county are always complaining about how they are so strapped for cash and need more money, but the uncollected bonds are a huge pot of money that the county is entitled to under law and they are making no effort to collect. All they have to do is demand the payment and tell any company that doesn't pay their bonds that lack of payment means automatic forfeiture of their ability to operate in Harris County.htxag09 said:
I'd argue the bigger issue is with the back end. $1mm bail is fairly high, high enough for this case? Absolutely not. But still, if a bail bond company would truly charge 10% and have the potential to pay that bond this guy wouldn't be getting out. Instead, they know the city/county will never collect and let these guys out for nothing.
Here's the news story from the kid they murdered (allegedly) last year for which they were out on bond.Ciboag96 said:
****ing hell. This is absolute ****ing bull***** That judge needs to be tarred and feathered.This proves that risk assessment, in Harris County, isn't a thing. These two are a threat to public safety, whether or not they have the money to post bail. They were both already on bond for pending murders they already committed. Now they kill again and are granted bail again? pic.twitter.com/OAW2MJlez9

HPD didn't send an officer when my truck was stolen this morning. Took 45 minutes on hold to file a report then 5 hours for them to report stolen. Onstar lost tracking by the time they got around to filing the report.Build It said:
We are the same. Constable will be at my house in 2 minutes if we call. HPD station a mile and a half a way, they may show up or not. If they do it would easily be over an hour.

Although the pedestrian was struck near Lazy Hollow, they were dragged a mile to a mile and a half down the road, an HPD officer said at the scene.
Multiple body parts were found between Lazy Hollow and Hullsmith Drive, HPD said.

That 16-year-old deserves more than a juvenile record that will be eventually sealed, too.

This is an odd one.
Woman finds 18 year-old ex-bf of juvenile daughter in bed with daughter. Tells 18 year-old nephew about it. Nephew and ex-bf engage in gun battle. Ex-bf is killed.
Allegedly. They don't know if they believe the stories yet.

Quote from LEO on the scene is a crack at Sly and Lina and other morons:
"You've got people who shouldn't have guns who are out there running around with guns," Sgt. Beall said. "I understand you've got someone who comes up with these brilliant ideas that buying guns off the street that that's somehow solves the crime problems. They are totally out of touch with reality."

Notice the story removes the quote about gun buybacks that was mentioned earlier.
