Judge Brittanye Morris (above center) became very popular with local attorneys after she defeated Judge Daryl Moore back on Tuesday, March 3, 2020, in the Democratic Party primary race for District Judge, 333rd Civil District Court in Harris County, Texas. However, please note that Judge Brittanye Morris isn’t the only judicial candidate who received donations from powerful local attorneys like Tony Buzbee (above left) who donated $30,000 to Judge Brittanye Morris back on October 14, 2020. In fact, it’s common practice for attorneys to donate money to local judges – many do so as part of their business strategy. In fact Ben Hall (above right), one of the top black attorneys in America donated money to Judge Brittanye Morris back on September 10, 2020. But it wasn’t the donations of Buzbee, Hall, and Hollins that caught my eye when I took a look-see at Judge Brittanye Morris’ Campaign Finance Report. What caught my eye was all of the donations that were given to Judge Morris for the exact same amount on different days for strange amounts.
Young Black Democratic Judge Brittanye Morris Was Not Prepared to Play Ball with Big-League Attorneys in Harris County, Texas

Over the last few days I have been getting phone call after phone called from mostly Democrats talking about how Judge Brittanye Morris, the presiding judge for the 333rd Civil District Court in Harris County, Texas is being unfairly treated. “Wayne Dolcefino is a racist,” said one Harris County Democratic Party Precinct Chair. “I’ve read all about him and seen all his crap before this,” said the long-time Democrat. “Well, until it’s there YouTube news is not a light bulb, especially from someone who is a racist and I don’t support a White Nationalist,” said the Harris County Democratic Party Precinct Chair who I’ve grown to know over the years. But hold up!!! What? What about Judge Brittanye Morris refusing to recuse herself from the case where she had a clear conflict of interest from the very beginning. What about the fact that Judge Brittanye Morris blatantly ignored the repeated calls for her to recuse herself from the case involving her client who basically bank-rolled her campaign? What about all of the text messages that Wayne Dolcefino got their hands on and provided as proof in the video they created to let the public know about the corruption in Harris County politics they’d uncovered? What about the possibility that Judge Brittanye Morris may have already violated several Texas Code of Judicial Conduct “CANONS” after only being on the bench a few days? Do you even realize that Judge Brittanye Morris hasn’t even been on the bench for 30 days? Was Judge Brittanye Morris bought? What secrets does her Campaign Finance Reports hold?

THREE SIMILAR DONATIONS
On 8/22/2020 Attorney Ahmad Sufi donated $4,854.70 to Judge Brittanye Morris’ Campaign. Then on 10/06/2020 Attorney Kurt Arnold donated the exact same about of $4,854.70 to Judge Brittanye Morris’ Campaign. On the exact same day that Attorney Kurt Arnold donated his $4,854.70 to Judge Brittanye Morris’ Campaign, a lawyer by the name of Jason Itkin donated the exact same amount of $4,854.70 to Judge Brittanye Morris’ Campaign. What is this? Do you see the pattern? Isn’t it sort of strange that all three of these attorneys donated the exact same amount to Judge Brittanye Morris’ Campaign?
EIGHT SIMILAR DONATIONS
On 9/14/2020 Attorney Robert Kwok donated $2,427.20 to Judge Brittanye Morris’ Campaign. Then on the very next day, on 9/15/2020 Attorney Muhammad Aziz donated the exact same amount of $2,427.20 to Judge Brittanye Morris’ Campaign. Then on the very next day 9/16/2020 Attorney Bradley Bryant donated the exact same amount of $2,427.20 to Judge Brittanye Morris’ Campaign. Then two days later on 9/18/2020 Attorney Stewart Guss donated the exact same amount of $2,427.20 to Judge Brittanye Morris’ Campaign. Then on 9/28/2020 Attorney David Matthiesen donated the exact same amount of $2,427.20 to Judge Brittanye Morris’ Campaign. And on the very same day, 9/28/2020 Attorney Ryan Zehl donated the exact same amount $2,427.20 to Judge Brittanye Morris’ Campaign. Then on 10/01/2020 Attorney Chris Reynolds donated the exact same amount of $2,427.20 to Judge Brittanye Morris’ Campaign. Then on 10/05/2020 Attorney Michael Gallagher donated the exact same amount of $2,427.20 to Judge Brittanye Morris’ Campaign. Doesn’t it appear to be sort of strange that all eight of these attorneys donated the exact same amount to Judge Brittanye Morris’ Campaign?
THREE SIMILAR DONATIONS
On 9/7/2020 Attorney Garcia Juan donated $485.20 to Judge Brittanye Morris’ Campaign. Then on 9/28/2020 Attorney Joel Montgomery donated the exact same amount of $485.20 to Judge Brittanye Morris’ Campaign. And then on 10/15/2020 Attorney Valex Amos donated $485.20 to Judge Brittanye Morris’ Campaign. The funny thing about the these three attorneys donating the exact same amount of $485.20 to Judge Brittanye Morris’ Campaign is that the amount that they donated is roughly 10% of the amount of $4,854.70 that was donated by attorneys Attorney Ahmad Sufi, Attorney Kurt Arnold and Jason Itkin. Isn’t that a little strange?
TWO SIMILAR DONATIONS
On 10/22/2020 Attorney Zenobia Bivens donated $242.45 to Judge Brittanye Morris’ Campaign. Then on 11/3/2020 Attorney Wesson Tribble donated the exact same amount of $242.45 to Judge Brittanye Morris’ Campaign. What’s the problem with this? Well, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with these two attorneys both donating the amount of $242.45 to Judge Brittanye Morris’ Campaign. However, did you notice that the $242.45 donated by Attorney Zenobia Bivens and Attorney Wesson Tribble is roughly 10% of the amount donated by Attorney Robert Kwok, Attorney Muhammad Aziz, Attorney Bradley Bryant, Attorney Stewart Guss, Attorney David Matthiesen, Attorney Ryan Zehl, Chris Reynolds, and Attorney Michael Gallagher? Is this merely a coincidence? Or is this some sort of creative campaign financing going on in Harris County, Texas?
SIX SIMILAR DONATIONS
On 9/9/2020 Attorney David Buckley donated $970.70 to Judge Brittanye Morris’ Campaign. Then on the very next day Attorney Ben Hall donated the same exact amount of $970.00 to Judge Brittanye Morris’ Campaign. Then on 9/22/2020 Attorney Chris Hollins and Attorney Dax Garza donated the exact same amount of $970.70 to Judge Brittanye Morris’ Campaign. Then a day later on 9/23/2020 Attorney Stephen Boutros donated $970.70 to Judge Brittanye Morris’ Campaign. The on the day after that on 9/24/2020 Attorney Jason Gibson donated the exact same amount of $970.70 to Judge Brittanye Morris’ Campaign. Then on 9/28/2020 Attorney Chris Carmona donated $970.70 to Judge Brittanye Morris’ Campaign.
JUST FOLLOW THE MONEY
If you take a moment to look at some of the “CAMPAIGN DONATIONS” given to Judge Brittanye Morris during the period of 7/22/2020 through 12/31/2020 you will clearly see a pattern of coordination between the attorneys who were making donations to her campaign. I’m not sure at this point who coordinated the donations, but there’s definitely a pattern to the way her campaign coffers were filled. In all, during the period I looked at, Judge Brittanye Morris received $92,178.30 in political contributions, and spent 40,745.50 on expenditures. And at the end of the filing period she had $51,255.90 still sitting in the bank. Now can’t you see why folks are lining up to run for public office? In case you don’t know, the state salary for a district court judge as established in the General Appropriations Act for the 2018-19 biennium is $140,000 in Texas according to https://capitol.texas.gov/. However, the state salary for a Justice of the 14 Courts of Appeals (14 Courts) is 110 percent of a district judge's state salary, or $154,000, with a Chief Justice of the 14 Courts receiving an additional $2,500 for a state salary of $156,500. The state salary of a Judge or Justice of the Supreme Court of Texas (Supreme Court) or the Court of Criminal Appeals (CCA) is 120 percent of a district judge's state salary, or $168,000, with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and the Presiding Judge of the CCA receiving an additional $2,500 for a state salary of $170,500.
COMPENSATION STRUCTURE
Under the provisions of the bill, the tenure-based compensation structure would adjust the state salaries for state judge positions as established in the General Appropriations Act to certain percentages of that state salary depending on the judge's years of service: 110 percent of the state salary for between 4-8 years of service (Tier 1)($154,000), 120 percent of the state salary for between 8-12 years of service (Tier 2)($168,000), and 130 percent of the state salary for more than 12 years of service (Tier 3)($182,000) – pretty nice right?
TROUBLESOME VIDEO
This new video produced by Wayne Dolcefino Consulting provides much greater details into the relationship between embattled Real Estate Broker Ali Choudhri and Judge Brittanye Morris. And the video also highlights more text messages that clearly show that Judge Brittanye Morris was fully aware of what was at stake. However, new questions about the nature of the young Black judge’s relationship with Al Choudhri have begun to emerge since the release of this second video. Questions about whether young Judge Brittanye Morris was actually smitten by Ali Choudhri somewhere along the way, and has perhaps fallen in love with him. Again, as with most rumors, unless clear and compelling evidence of a romantic nature is produced – folks should stay away from playing the guessing game.
ALI'S BUSINESS DEALINGS
As part of my attempt to fact check reporting by Wayne Dolcefino Consulting as it relates what would make a young impressionable judge risk her future so early on in her career I ran across another video produced by Wayne Dolcefino Consulting. This video that was produced back on September 14, 2020, and was viewed more than 29,000 times will give you a somewhat better understanding of what Wayne Dolcefino is talking about as it relates to Ali Choudhri. In this video, Dolcefino discusses a few of the lawsuits that are pending in local Harris County courtrooms involving Choudhri.

The Information About Judge Brittanye Morris Below Was Published on Her Website
Houston native Brittanye Morris was taught early in life the importance of serving others and being the change she desired in her community. The daughter of an educator and a retired lieutenant with the Houston Police Department, Brittanye grew up watching her parents work as public servants and dedicate their lives to helping others. Brittanye knows first-hand the challenges faced by working-class families striving to create better lives for themselves and their communities.
Because of the hard work and discipline instilled by her parents, Brittanye graduated high school in three years, while being an active cheerleader and debate team member. She then attended the University of Houston, where she graduated with honors with a degree in Political Science. Drawing on her debate experiences and Political Science background, Brittanye decided that she wanted to use her talents to advocate for Houston residents as an attorney. Brittanye elected to attend a law school with a history of training community advocates and some of the best lawyers and judges in Houston (and the country), the prestigious Thurgood Marshall School of Law at Texas Southern University. While at Thurgood Marshall School of Law, Brittanye had the honor and privilege of representing the law school as a member of its world-renowned mock trial program.
Engrained with a passion towards public service taught by her parents, and equipped with the advocacy skills and training from her law school, Brittanye has spent her legal tenure in a variety of roles sharpening her legal aptitude and advocacy abilities. Brittanye has worked within both the public and private sectors, representing a variety of clients from all walks of life.
A large part of Brittanye’s legal practice has included representing clients in courtrooms throughout the Houston area. It was during this representation that Brittanye witnessed some of the glaring issues with our legal system and the judges elected to represent our interests. Instead of being accessible to all and servants of the people, the courtrooms (and justice) seemed to favor individuals with connections and financial resources. Many litigants, especially hard-working individuals struggling to make ends meet, were often put in the unfair and unjust position of having to choose between access to justice and not missing work. These same litigants were talked down to and dismissed by the very judges they elected. Meanwhile, people that could afford attorneys were often provided more respect and seen by the judges first, many times without the person having to miss work to appear in court.
Brittanye’s decision to run for judge is guided by one main principle: justice for all. Our legal system, courtrooms, and judges are tools meant to ensure justice for all…not just the rich, or the connected, or those that can afford an attorney. Our judges, as administrators of the courtrooms and legal system, are there to ensure that each and every Harris County resident has an equal opportunity at justice. Residents should not have to choose between missing valuable work hours to care for their families, and sitting in a courtroom all day waiting for their name to be called. Our legal system and courtrooms should be fair, accessible, and, most importantly, transparent. Our judges should be fair and impartial. If Brittanye is fortunate enough to earn your vote, Brittanye promises that her courtroom will remain fair, accessible, and transparent for all litigants. As YOUR judge, Brittanye promises to ensure that she and her courtroom will be fair to all, accessible to all, and transparent to all, with the ultimate goal of ensuring justice for all.
THE BRAINS
I’m the President/CEO of Aubrey R. Taylor Communications, the publisher of Houston Business Connections Newspaper©. In case you don’t know, I have 30-years of experience in marketing, branding, investigative reporting, public relations, opposition research, and political consulting. I’ve assisted in branding Republican and Democratic candidates in statewide elections and local municipalities throughout the State of Texas. Over the years, I’ve also assisted in branding and marketing (through my various publications) such corporations and institutions as Shell Oil, The City of Houston, Texas A&M University, Texas Southern University, Prairie View A&M University, Chevron, Waste Management, Nationwide Insurance, Momentum Jaguar/BMW, Channel 11, Channel 13, State Farm Insurance, and Allstate Insurance to name a few.
EXPERIENCED REPORTER
I would have you to know that not everyone who has been accused of a crime or enters a guilty plea in connection with a crime is guilty of the crime they're accused of committing. Neither is everyone who goes to trial to fight charges that are leveled against them and get's convicted are guilty. Look, over the years, some very bad things have happened to people of color in our criminal justice system. So to this end, please understand, that during my career, I’ve gone into the Harris County Jail and Texas prisons on numerous occasions (on secret assignments) working in conjunction with the owner of one of the largest locally owned private security, and investigations firms. The man who was funding my investigations back then (who mysteriously died) also was the godfather of one of my sons, and the backer of one of my publications. That being said, I can straight-faced assure you that I’ve seen some of the injustices that are occurring in the Texas penal system up close and personal. While on the inside, I interviewed (face-to-face) some of the hardest criminals you can imagine for my research. I also discovered first-hand that many of the people who should be locked up are walking around free, and not all of those who are locked behind bars are guilty of the crimes that they, in some cases pleaded guilty to – for whatever reason. So, let me assure you that I know a criminal when I see one. And we have a handful of local elected officials who are straight-criminals and must be stopped!!!
PEOPLE OVER POLITICS
Based on my direct observations over the years, I can attest to the fact that our current criminal justice system is more about “HAVE’S AND HAVE NOT’S” to a greater degree than most people realize. That being said, sure, in some cases, the skin color of the person being accused of a crime plays a role in who gets indicted and eventually convicted of crimes and those who go free. However, at the end of the day, from observing the system from the inside, and out; having money, good legal representation and access to influential people are unfortunately key determining factors when it comes to who will spend the rest of their life walking around with an “X” on their back and who doesn’t. So, to this end, we must endeavor to change our criminal justice system and political landscape by “TAKING POLITICS OUT” of the way our judges are selected in the Lone Star State – that’s very important to me!
