Election 2014:
Dallas, Texas voters: Beware of Lori Chrisman Hockett,
Judge of the 255th District Family Court

Voters, beware of the sections you make in the upcoming election in Dallas County, Texas. This is particularly so when it comes to the race for the 255th district family court currently presided over by a racist, legally incompetent, and unethical judge named Lori Chrisman Hockett.

There are numerous reasons why this individual must not be re-elected. One needs to go no further than a cursory review of the trial court and the appellate court files of the following case numbers: DF-09-7655-s; 05-09-01375-CV; 05-11-01503-CV; and 05-13-00958-CV. In Re: Imamni L. Sharif, and Lakeith Amir-Sharif vs. Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, and Texas Attorney General's office.

There you will discover some of the most reactionary, anti-fatherhood, contradictory, and outright mean-spirited or nasty decisions and orders made by Lori Chrisman Hockett. Decisions and orders that have permanently and negatively affected my little daughter's emotional and mental welfare. Decisions and orders that ignored my pleas for protection for my baby girl who lived in a constant state of fear as a result of her mother, Alida Smith's, relationship with a violent drug dealer and convicted child molester named Eric Donsha Glen (DOB Feb. 05, 1977). See reporter's records Vol. 2, Vol. 3, Vol. 4, Vol. 5, and Vol. 6.

Decisions and orders that despite an investigation, I was finally bale to force Lori Chrisman Hockett and TDFPS to conduct into the domestic violence and drug activity in and around the home my daughter Imani was being raised resulted in a convicted Texas child molester, drug dealer, and domestic abuser named Eric Donsha Glenn (DOB Feb. 05, 1977) being granted full rights and custody of his three children, Eric Glenn Jr. (age 6), Alexander Glenn (age 3), and King Glenn (age 1 1/2). Judge Hocket also deemed it appropriate to grant my daughter's mom, Alida Lachette Smith (DOB Feb. 10th or 11th, 1978) full rights and custody of our daughter. This is despite the fact Smith initially lied to the judge when questioned about the child molester's family violence, drug use and sales, and Smith's admission (see: TDFPS Report and Investigation No. 42346903 and Reporter's Record Vol. 2 of 6, 3 of 6, 6 of 6).

In return for my four plus years of persistent effort to protect my baby girl as best I could from this prison cell I currently occupy, Judge Hockett, absent any sufficient, reasonable, and legally recognized basis, decided that it was appropriate and purportedly in my little girls' "best interest" that I be completely stripped of all my parental rights to communicate with and have any visits or access to and possession of my child.

Now thanks to Judge Hockett (and the Dallas, Texas Court of Appeals headed by Chief Justice Carolyn Wright), my little girl has no way of communicating with me. No means by which she can alert me if convicted child molester Eric Donsha Glenn (see Texas Sex Offender Registry) ever sexually assaults her or violates her in any manner. No means by which to alert me that Eric Donsha Glenn is again pistol whipping her mother, smashing the windows out of the car occupied by her and her mother and siblings, forcing her mother to perform sexual acts in front of her and her siblings, and/or committing other acts of domestic violence. My little girl now has no means by which to alert Daddy about any drug activity in her home environment (See Reporter's Report Vol. 2 of 6, 3 of 6, 5 of 6, 6 of 6).

Be mindful that my child's mother has lied and tried her best to cover-up and minimize the aforementioned facts. The child's alleged maternal aunt, who Judge Hockett appointed as a possessory conservator, admits knowing about the aforementioned facts and failing to take any actions to protect my little girl. The same applies for the maternal grandmother (see TDFPS Report and Investigation, Sonya Butler and Regina Patterson's Statements to Investigations).

Ironically, following my release on bail in February 2007, for the aggravated assault charge I am currently in prison for, I had full custody and was raising my baby girl on my own. By agreement, she was only around her mother on weekends and some holidays. This was due to legitimate concerns about my child's safety and general welfare, plus her mother's obvious inability to provide an acceptable home environment to raise a little girl in.

I could go on and on, but I believe my point has been made. If you are a male or female, it doesn't matter. What does matter is that if you care about your parental rights and protecting those rights from arbitrary, capricious, and unreasonable court actions as those described above, then I urge you not to vote for Lori Chrisman Hockett of the 255th District Court and to encourage others to do likewise.

This is the first step in holding elected judges accountable for their inexplicable rulings and orders, as well as for their lack of integrity, fairness, prudence, ethical conduct, and impartiality.

Your vote this year will select the individual who is truly worthy of presiding over the cases being heard in the 255th district (family) court.
