Former State Rep. Shawn Thierry (left) found a true friend and loyal supporter in Governor Greg Abbott when she felt abandoned by the Harris County Democratic Party. Finding true friendship in politics is a fleeting task because you won't discover who your friends are until you experience adversity. On January 13, 2025, Governor Greg Abbott appointed Shawn Thierry to the Texas Juvenile Justice Board. And just last week, on Tuesday, February 11, 2025, attorney Shawn Thierry was
named the Executive Director of Policy and Counsel at the prestigious Texas
Southern University. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. stated, "In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends," more valid words have never been spoken for the turbulent political times we're living through today. That said, I would like to thank Attorney Jeralynn Manor, Attorney Eric Dick, State Rep. Ron Reynolds, and Lieutenant Colonel Judge DaSean Jones for their loyal support and friendship as I walked through one of the most difficult times in my life.
Former State Rep. Shawn Thierry and Governor Greg Abbott are both true "TEXAS TRAILBLAZERS" in their own right. Texas is freer because of Governor Greg Abbott's leadership and policies. For nearly 200 years, Texas has been self-reliant and religiously defended liberty and freedom. Governor Greg Abbott believes that every Texan has a right to freely speak their mind and stand on their beliefs and convictions. While "THE GOP" officially stands for the "GRAND OLD PARTY," more and more African Americans are beginning to view "THE GOP" as a bastion of opportunity and hope for a brighter future. Governor Greg Abbott proudly welcomed State Rep. Shawn Thierry into the Texas Republican Party after she was abandoned by the Democratic Party for standing up for the rights of Texas children. Governor Greg Abbott and other conservative leaders will need our support in the 2026 Midterm Election.

Eric Carr has proven himself to be a true "TEXAS TRAILBLAZER" who is not afraid to speak truth to power and stand on his convictions as a real man should. Eric Carr, a former prizefighter turned businessman, is a loyal supporter of Aubrey R. Taylor Communications, the publisher of Houston Business Connections Newspaper. His steadfast support, advice, and tutelage played a pivotal role in helping Investigative Reporter Aubrey R. Taylor brave the challenges of fighting "BOGUS CHARGES" from a corrupt DA's Office in Harris County, Texas, under Kim Ogg's administration. The late civil rights icon, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., once stated, "There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe nor politic nor popular, but he must take it because his conscience tells him it is right." Eric Carr was ready and willing to take the stand under oath in the 486th Criminal Courtroom and tell the whole truth, nothing but the truth, so help him, God.
- TRUTHFULLY SPEAKING -
Eric Carr is a real man who displayed courage, intestinal fortitude, and a willingness to stand up and do the right thing when he received an "OFFICIAL SUBPOENA" from attorney Terry Yates to come to court and testify against his ex-wife, Vivian King, who was a powerful First Assistant District Attorney, working in Kim Ogg's Administration. Vivian King is accused of committing "PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT" for her actions and will be held accountable in a Federal Courtroom. Prosecutorial misconduct occurs when a prosecutor breaks a law or code of professional ethics during their professional duties.
- TRUTHFULLY SPEAKING -
Business Eric Carr apologizes to the Investigative Reporter Aubrey R. Taylor and the people of Harris County, Texas, for supporting former Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg during her 2020 Campaign for re-election. Carr also talked about how low-down and dirty Kim Ogg's Administration was and how she used her power to wage war on people who disagreed with her politically. Men like former prizefighter turned businessman Eric Carr are difficult to find. But when it came time for Eric Carr to stand up and make his voice heard in the spirit of fairness and justice, he didn't cower. Carr firmly believes in the words of civil rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly." Letter from Birmingham, Alabama jail, April 16, 1963

Texas is Freer Because of Governor Greg Abbott; Shawn Thierry and Other True Texas Trailblazers You Should Know
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
After being tormented and (allegedly) sexually harassed by Kay Shepard, the Harris County Democratic Party Precinct Chair for (Precinct #30), state Rep. Shawn Thierry bolted from the Democratic Party and joined the Republican Party, better known as “THE GOP” and affectionately known by many as “The Greater Opportunity Party.”
Since switching to “THE GOP,” Texas Governor Greg Abbott has looked out for Theirry, rewarded her, and ensured she landed on solid footing.
On January 13, 2025, Governor Greg Abbott appointed Shawn Thierry to the Texas Juvenile Justice Board for a term set to expire on February 1, 2029.
In case you don’t know, the Texas Juvenile Justice Board is responsible for developing and implementing rules to govern the Texas Juvenile Justice Department.
If appointing former state Rep. Shawn Thierry to the Texas Juvenile Justice Board wasn’t enough, it is believed that Governor Greg Abbott was secretly working behind the scenes to assist Thierry with finding a good-paying job – but this rumor isn’t confirmed.
What’s fair to note is that Texas Southern University (TSU) is a historically Black public university. Still, as the Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott has a lot of pull and can make things happen at TSU, if you know what I mean.
THIERRY LANDS A JOB AT TSU…
On Tuesday, February 11, 2025, attorney Shawn Thierry was named the Executive Director of Policy and Counsel at the prestigious Texas Southern University.
A press statement states, “Texas Southern University (TSU) has appointed Attorney Shawn Thierry as Executive Director for Policy and Counsel. The newly established role will serve in the Office of Board Relations alongside the Executive Director for Board Relations.
Thierry’s policy background includes service in the Texas state government’s legislative and executive branches. She represented Houston’s District 146 in the Texas House of Representatives for four terms, twice serving as Vice Chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, serving as Vice Chair of the Sustainable Property Tax Relief Committee, and serving as a member of the committees on Energy Resources, Land & Resources Management, County Affairs, and Juvenile Justice & Family Issues. Thierry currently serves on the Texas Juvenile Justice Board, to which Governor Greg Abbott appointed her in January 2025.
“I am excited to join Texas Southern University as Executive Director for Policy and Counsel,” Thierry said. “As an alumna of the Thurgood Marshall School of Law, returning to TSU is an honor and a blessing. I am eager to offer my combined experience as an attorney, state legislator, and policy expert to advancing the University’s mission. I look forward to supporting the Board of Regents in prioritizing student success and preparing graduates to contribute to the thriving Texas economy. Go Tigers!”
In this role, Thierry will advise the Board of Regents on federal, state, and local policy issues, coordinate special projects, and provide strategic and legal counsel. Thierry is the second veteran state legislator hired by TSU this academic year, joining her former Texas House of Representatives colleague, Dr. James White, who serves as Vice President for Governmental Affairs and Civic Engagement.
“The Honorable Shawn Thierry is recognized nationally for her policy advocacy and legislative effectiveness, especially on behalf of vulnerable populations,” said Chairman of the Board of Regents Brandon L. Simmons. “Shawn offers decades of legal experience along with the knowledge and relationships accrued as an elected official and gubernatorial appointee. We look forward to the many contributions she will make in service of TSU students and Texas taxpayers.”
Thierry is a Houston native and graduate of Howard University and Texas Southern University’s Thurgood Marshall School of Law.”
SOMETHING TO THING ABOUT…
The Harris County Democratic Party is in dire straights, and race relations are at an all-time low, as Mike Doyle and his “HENCHMAN” Kay Shepard need to go. Why?
We are approximately nine and a half months from the December deadline when Democrats and Republicans hoping to appear on the 2026 Democratic Party and Republican Party primary ballots must sign up to run. Currently, Democrats don’t even know who will lead the Texas Democratic Party into the 2026 Midterm Elections.
To make matters worse, Democrats don’t even have a gubernatorial nominee to face off against Governor Greg Abbott or a lieutenant gubernatorial nominee to face off against Lt. Governor Dan Patrick in the 2026 Midterm Election, which is highly problematic.
Closer to home, the Harris County Democratic Party currently has (26) twenty-six African American judges up for re-election, which is historic. Still, these people have their heads in the sand and don’t know what to do now.
The (26) twenty-six African American judges, (2) two Black males, and (24) twenty-four Black females don’t even realize that they are on the menu and are about to get eaten alive if they don’t come up with a collective strategy to save themselves – this is utterly embarrassing.
PUSHING BACK AGAINST INJUSTICE...
Organizations like the Innocence Project must be supported and provided with the finances they need to protect the civil rights of the less fortunate. The Innocence Project, Inc. is a 501 nonprofit legal organization that works to exonerate the wrongly convicted through DNA testing and other forms of post-conviction relief, as well as advocate for criminal justice reform to prevent future injustice.
Did you know that nearly 60% of the people that the Innocence Project has helped to free or exonerate since 1992 are Black? If not, I bet you didn't know that research by the Innocence Project shows that over 50% of exonerees of color who were under 21 when they were arrested had at least one false implication by another youth.
Listen!!! I'm not saying that "BLACK FOLKS" don't commit crimes. What I'm saying is that too many Black men are forced into plea agreements because they do not have the financial means to fight back against our "TWO-TIERED" Criminal Justice System that has been weaponized against 'BLACK MEN" forcing many who are accused of crimes to plead guilty to crimes they did not commit.
But you don't have to take my word for it. If you look at the cases below, all these men were exonerated of crimes they did not commit. That said, as the 2026 Midterms draw nearer, please do your research on every "2026 JUDICIAL CANDIDATE," and make sure that the judges you vote for are tough, fair, compassionate, and not a "CLOSET RACIST," looking to carry out their racist inclinations of people of color.
