Claim: The State Commission on Judicial Conduct said the allegations against Rosie Speedlin-Gonzalez, if found to be true, could result in further disciplinary action
100%- The claim is accurate. The exact language appears in the "Voluntary Agreement to Resign from Judicial Office in Lieu of Disciplinary Action" signed by Judge Rosie Speedlin-Gonzalez and SCJC Chair Gary Steel1.
- The agreement states: "the parties agree that the allegations of judicial misconduct, if found to be true, could result in further disciplinary action against Judge Specdlin-Gonzalez"1.
- The context was that Speedlin-Gonzalez had been suspended without pay by the State Commission on Judicial Conduct after her indictment for unlawfully restraining an attorney in her courtroom21.
- Rather than proceeding with full disciplinary hearings, both parties agreed to resolve the matter through her resignation and a lifetime ban from judicial service in Texas31.
- In exchange for her resignation, the commission agreed not to pursue further disciplinary proceedings13.
