Harris County Attorney Christian D. Menefee (left) received his formal request to fully investigate Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson's violation of, Section 43.130 of the Texas Local Government Code that states, “A resident of an area annexed for limited purposes is not eligible to be a candidate for or to be elected to a municipal office.” On yesterday, Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg also received her formal request to do her job and fully investigate the fact that Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson was ineligible to run for the Houston City Council District B seat back on Tuesday, November 5, 2019, because of, Section 43.130 of the Texas Local Government Code that states, “A resident of an area annexed for limited purposes is not eligible to be a candidate for or to be elected to a municipal office.” For those of you who don't know, Texas Attorney Ken Paxton will only be asked to file a "QUO WARRANTO LAWSUIT" to have Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson removed for violating Section 43.130 of the Texas Local Government Code as a last resort.
County Attorney Menefee Appears to Be Trying to Do What’s Right Since He Took Office; D.A. Ogg May Be a Lost Cause
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
To be brutally honest nobody I’ve talked to thinks that Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg has the guts to file the “QUO WARRANTO LAWSUIT” against Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson – no matter how compelling the evidence is at this point. However, many people I’ve spoken to in Democratic cycles have assured me that nobody has a key-in-the-back of Harris County Attorney Christian D. Menefee, And if you ask me, I think their right. I’ve shaken the hand of Menefee on numerous occasions over the years. I don’t really know him personally, but one of the things I love about him is that he has a firm handshake, and he looks at you square in the eyes when tells you something. That’s why you haven’t seen me launch any attacks on this brother. Now, that being said, Mr. Menefee has a “SWORN DUTY” and “OATH OF OFFICE” that he agreed to when he took office. And he said out of his own mouth, “I believe the most important duty of the Harris County Attorney’s Office is to protect the interests of the people of Harris County in the courts.” SO LET’S GO MR. MENEFEE!!! This is your time to shine!!! This is your time to show the people of District B that you are – who you claim to be my brother. Do your job!!!

Harris County Attorney Christian D. Menefee ran on a platform that he would be a fighter for the people. However, it's unclear right now if his public declaration includes going to court and fighting for the people of District B by filing a "QUO WARRANTO LAWSUIT" to have Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson removed from office for violating, Section 43.130 of the Texas Local Government Code that states, “A resident of an area annexed for limited purposes is not eligible to be a candidate for or to be elected to a municipal office.”
MENEFEE HAS COURAGE
Christian D. Menefee made history when he unseated former Harris County Attorney Vince Ryan back on Tuesday, March 3, 2020, in the Democratic Party Primary. Now, after a careful look at all of his campaign finance reports, you can clearly see a direct connection between Christian D. Menefee, (TOP) Texas Organizing Project, local Democratic political bosses, and host of local attorneys with connections to political party bosses. However, people donating their time and treasure to “GREAT CANDIDATES” like Christian D. Menefee is a very good thing for our democracy. And a careful review of Menefee’s campaign finance report that was filed back on January 15, 2021, shows something we don’t really see in politics – he actually the sum of $5,000 to a person by the name of Ali Davari. The return of this $5,000 to Ali Davari is the first sign, that we can visibly see identify that Harris County Attorney Christian D. Menefee isn’t for sale – like some of our other local Harris County, Texas politicians. How can I say this? Well, for those of you who don’t know, Ali Davari and his partner Hassan “George’ Davari own Treasures nightclub – a local strip club that’s been in the news a lot lately – but I digress.
SHAME. SHAME. SHAME.
It’s a shame that the fight to get the Democrat Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg, and the Democratic Harris County Attorney Christian D. Menefee to do the right thing on behalf of the people of District B has come down to this. After all, Kim Ogg, and Christian D. Menefee, on the surface at least, appear to be good, decent and honorable Democrats who want to do the right thing. At least that’s what they’ve said out of their own mouths. But a pair of lips can say anything – right?
MENEFEE’S VALUE’S HIS JOB
CHRISTIAN D. MENEFEE: “I believe the most important duty of the Harris County Attorney’s Office is to protect the interests of the people of Harris County in the courts.” Now, that he’s the Harris County Attorney, the question becomes will Christian D. Menefee have the courage to file the “QUO WARRANTO LAWSUIT” against his fellow Democrat Tarsha Jackson who illegally ran for, and was illegally elected to, the Houston City Council District B City Council Position.
MENEFEE IS A REAL FIGHTER
CHRISTIAN D. MENEFEE: “I ran for Harris County Attorney to fight for and help people.” Now that Christian D. Menefee has made history by becoming the first Black Harris County Attorney to be elected in the history of Harris County, Texas the biggest question is whether he’s going to be a man of his word and fight for the people! That being said, County Attorney Christian D. Menefee has a unique opportunity right now. If he does what’s right, fair, and just, he could actually prove to the world that he’s his own man. He can prove that he’s a man of character, morals, fairness, and courage.
MENEFEE IS GOOD DEMOCRAT
CHRISTIAN D. MENEFEE: “Some of the most important civil rights battles in our nation’s history have been won and lost in the courts. I plan to ensure that this office is engaged in those battles, protecting and advocating for everyday people.” Was Christian D. Menefee talking about the people of District B when he spoke forth these words? Or was Christian D. Menefee talking about the crooked politicians who are turning a blind-eye to what Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson’s transgression of the law?
MENEFEE ISN’T AFRAID
CHRISTIAN D. MENEFEE: “I plan to ensure that this office is engaged in those battles, protecting and advocating for everyday people.” So, since it has become evidently clear that Houston City Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson, by her own actions over the last few weeks, clearly understands that she has broken the law – what’s going to be done about it? It’s clearly evident by the fact that Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson chose to flee from her homestead at 922 Sawgrass Ridge Lane, and moved into a home located at 321 Cage Street, deep in the heart of Fifth Ward, that she knew that she was guilty. In fact, she has ‘allegedly’ told several individuals who she trusts that she’s now fully aware that she is guilty of violating, Section 43.130 of the Texas Local Government Code that states, “A resident of an area annexed for limited purposes is not eligible to be a candidate for or to be elected to a municipal office.”

You can clearly see in the portion of her voter registration card above that Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson has already changed her voter registration information. But keep in mind, that at the time Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson ran for office back on Tuesday, November 5, 2019, she lived at 922 Sawgrass Ridge Lane which made her ineligible to run for the Houston City Council District B seat. By doing so anyway, she violated, Section 43.130 of the Texas Local Government Code that states, “A resident of an area annexed for limited purposes is not eligible to be a candidate for or to be elected to a municipal office.”
You can clearly see by looking at the portion of the voter registration card above that Meredith Ann Ford and Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson are registered to vote at the 321 Cage Street home that Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson fled to in an attempt to cover her tracks. This maneuver was enacted in what appears to be a desperate attempt on the party of Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson to cover up the fact that she violated, Section 43.130 of the Texas Local Government Code that states, “A resident of an area annexed for limited purposes is not eligible to be a candidate for or to be elected to a municipal office.”
It's pretty obvious right now that many people in the Black community are starting to look at Harris County District Attorney sideways. It's unclear right now why she has not done anything about the fact that Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson violated, Section 43.130 of the Texas Local Government Code that states, “A resident of an area annexed for limited purposes is not eligible to be a candidate for or to be elected to a municipal office.”
OGG TALK’S A GOOD GAME
HARRIS COUNTY DA KIM OGG: "We all worked together to ensure our elections, which are the lifeblood of democracy, were free and fair and that any and all allegations were thoroughly investigated." So, that being said, I don’t think that thoroughly investigating whether or not Houston City Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson is “ELIGIBLE” to serve as the District B representative should be much of a problem for Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg – especially since the law is pretty clear in regards to the matter regarding Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson’ eligibility. She is violation of, Section 43.130 of the Texas Local Government Code that states, “A resident of an area annexed for limited purposes is not eligible to be a candidate for or to be elected to a municipal office.”
WILL OGG FIGHT FOR THE PEOPLE?
HARRIS COUNTY DA KIM OGG: “Our democracy depends on keeping our elected officials safe from coercion and our elections free from illegal manipulation.” What’s illegal manipulation? In the Stock Market the manipulation refers to the act of artificially inflating or deflating the price of a security or otherwise influencing the behavior of the market for someone’s personal gain according to published reports. What about politics? Well, if what Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson did back on Tuesday, November 5, 2019, isn’t “ILLEGAL MANIPULATION” of an election, I don’t know what is. (1). She made her way on to the ballot illegally. (2). She robbed thirteen other candidates of their legitimate opportunity to win the Houston City Council District B race. (3). She tried to cover up her crime by moving from her homestead which resides in an annexed area of Houston, to another home where she and the owner of that home are both registered to vote at the same address. (4). She has acknowledged to several individuals in telephone conversations that she’s fully aware that she violated Section 43.130 of the Texas Local Government Code that states, “A resident of an area annexed for limited purposes is not eligible to be a candidate for or to be elected to a municipal office.”

It's hard to imagine how anyone in Houston, Texas could be still standing with Mayor Sylvester Turner and Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson. What is Mayor Sylvester Turner thinking? For more of his professional career he fought for the people of District B. And now for whatever reason, he appears to be protecting Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson when he's been made fully aware that she violated, Section 43.130 of the Texas Local Government Code that states, “A resident of an area annexed for limited purposes is not eligible to be a candidate for or to be elected to a municipal office.”
TARSHA SHOULD STEP DOWN
Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson’s name “ILLEGALLY” appeared on the Tuesday, November 5, 2019, general election ballot, even though she was “INELIGIBLE” to run for the Houston City Council District B seat because of Section 43.130 of the Texas Local Government Code. And rather than do the honorable thing and step down – along with the support of her crooked buddies who currently hold elected positions throughout Harris County, Texas she’s managed to manipulated the outcome of a local election. How did she manipulate the outcome? Well, if her name had not appeared on the ballot back on Tuesday, November 5, 2019, the people of District B would have been afforded the opportunity to cast their ballot for one of the other “DULY-QUALIFIED CANDIDATES” who legally appeared on the ballot. So, for the record, Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson siphoned over 3,000 votes away from the other (12) twelve Black and (1) one Hispanic candidate who were legitimate participants in the Tuesday, November 5, 2019 race for District B. What am I talking about? Look, it’s one thing to steal an election – it’s something else altogether, to still an election and then have your buddies cover for you. That being said, Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson’s presence on the ballot screwed up the entire District B race from the very beginning.
TARSHA SHOULD APOLOGIZE
If Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson had any decency about herself she would at the very least call up all of the other candidates and apologize to them. Why hasn’t she done so? Well, she hasn’t apologized to the people she’s cheated, because she’s as corrupt as they come. Actually, Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson is more corrupt than any other sitting politician in the state of Texas. She is rotten to her core! Hell, she’s more rotten than “ROTTEN RODNEY ELLIS” in my opinion. That being said, the people of District B deserve better than what Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson and her corrupt buddies are giving them right now. This evil and vile councilwoman who cares about nobody but herself should stop her dirty tricks, and apologize to Alice Kirkmon, Ben White, Jr, Karen “KKC” Kossie-Chernyshev, Robin J. Anderson, Broderick F. Butler, Alvin D. Byrd, Cynthia Bailey, Prince E.W. Bryant II, Karisma D. Gillam, Kenneth Perkins, Renee Jefferson Smith, Huey German-Wilson, and Alyson Quintna.

Gerry Wayne Monroe, the "5 STAR GENERAL" has formally requested that the Harris County District Attorney or Harris County Attorney fully investigate the matter related to Houston City Council District B representative Tarsha Jackson violating, Section 43.130 of the Texas Local Government Code that states, “A resident of an area annexed for limited purposes is not eligible to be a candidate for or to be elected to a municipal office.”
Please File a Quo Warranto Lawsuit to Have Tarsha Jackson Removed From Office
Dear County Officials,
Kim Ogg, Harris County District Attorney, and Christian D. Menifee, Harris County Attorney for the City of Houston, I am Mr. Gerry Monroe, and this document shall serve as a formal request for an immediate investigation into the eligibility of Ms. Tarsha Jackson, to serve as representative on City Council for District B.
This issue stems from the reading of the Texas Local Government Code with the applicable portions being as follows:
(b) A resident of an area annexed for limited purposes is not eligible to be a candidate for or to be elected to a municipal office.
It has been determined by Tarsha Jackson’s admittance on her application to run for elected office within the City of Houston, that her address of 922 Sawgrass Ridge Ln, Houston, Texas 77073, which matches her homestead address, is located in an annexed part of the City of Houston. According to the Texas Election Code, her residency status makes her “ineligible” to be run and certainly to be elected to a municipal office, particularly the one that she now sits.
Further, as a resident of a city’s “limited purpose” jurisdiction, although residents of her area are allowed the privilege to vote in our local elections, they, including Ms. Jackson, do not pay city taxes according to Sec 43 of the Texas Local Government Code, and as indicated with the Harris County Appraisal District.
Myself, as well as citizens of District B, are concerned that someone who will be in charge of making decisions concerning how our city taxes are being spent, and allocated, should be someone who equally shares that responsibility and as the other council members do.
My personal concern is how this same scenario can disqualify someone from participating in running for a city council seat and be disqualified from the seat even after her name has been placed on the ballot such as what happened with Michelle Bonton, who was disqualified for the same reasons of living in an annexed area for limited purposes. So why is Tarsha Jackson who is similarly situated is now qualified?
Attorneys, there appears to be a “strong” necessity for a “Quo Warranto” lawsuit to be filed in this matter, and should be done so immediately. According to the Texas Civil Practices and Remedies Code at Title 3. Extraordinary Remedies at Chapter 66, it reads as follows:
CHAPTER 66. QUO WARRANTO
Sec. 66.001. GROUNDS. An action in the nature of quo warranto is available if:
(1) a person usurps, intrudes into, or unlawfully holds or executes a franchise or an office, including an office in a corporation created by the authority of this state;
(2) a public officer does an act or allows an act that by law causes a forfeiture of his office;
Sec. 66.002. INITIATION OF SUIT. (a) If grounds for the remedy exist, the attorney general or the county or district attorney of the proper county may petition the district court of the proper county or a district judge if the court is in vacation for leave to file an information in the nature of quo warranto.
(b) The petition must state that the information is sought in the name of the State of Texas.
(c) The attorney general or county or district attorney may file the petition on his own motion or at the request of an individual relator.
(d) If there is probable ground for the proceeding, the judge shall grant leave to file the information, order the information to be filed, and order process to be issued.
Sec. 66.003. JUDGMENT. If the person against whom the information is filed is found guilty as charged, the court:
(1) shall enter judgment “ removing” the person from the office or franchise;
(2) shall enter judgment for the costs of prosecution in favor of the relator; and
(3) may fine the person for usurping, intruding into, or unlawfully holding and executing the office or franchise.
I am addressing this letter directly to you as the statute “clearly” states that either of you have the responsibility to file this suit on behalf of the citizens of this county. If you choose not to do so, you must inform the citizens on why you will not as you are in the position to protect them from such situations.
To date, there have been articles in the media, Houston Chronicle, Houston Business Connections, etc., putting forth this issue and as of this date, nothing appears to be getting done about it. This notice shall formally place yourselves, as an appropriate party who is in the utmost position to take action to remedy this situation, on notice. If appropriate actions are not taken, letters to the Justice department shall ensue after the attorney general’s office is apprised of this horrendous matter.
It is time that the City of Houston politicians behave fairly and just, and stop doing whichever way they please and in disregard for it citizens, especially the most vulnerable.
We are watching this matter very closely and expect swift action. It does not matter how many times this is done only that it is done properly. We are therefore asking that this matter be addressed swiftly, and that the process of her removal from this seat if the judge so determined, is be done quickly, and expeditiously to minimize further embarrassment to the City of Houston and citizens of District B.
Thank you for professionally addressing this matter.
Sincerely,
GERRY MONROE, ADVOCATE
Mayor Sylvester Turner (left) pictured above with Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson (District B) are all smiles right now -- but that could change in the very near future. Why? Well, Section 43.130 of the Texas Local Government Code says, “A resident of an area annexed for limited purposes is not eligible to be a candidate for or to be elected to a municipal office,” So, Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson is "ILLEGALLY OCCUPYING" the Houston City Council District B seat right now. And according to 25 year legal veteran Paula Robnett, who received her Law Degree from The University of Houston back in 1995, "The statute must be upheld."
Calling It As I See It
by Attorney Paula Robnett
Since my last article on quo warranto lawsuits and issues concerning residency to hold public office, I have been bombarded with many questions. Where does a person have to live to hold an office in Houston? How long do you have to live in an approved area of Houston before you can run for office?Can you move into city sanctioned areas of Houston after winning a seat, or do you have to be there before running?
All good credible questions, with many of the answers being found at the Texas Secretary of State’s website under the “election” section, and on that same site at “Voter Registration Requirements for Candidates,” at VoteTexas.gov, as well as through House Bill 484 as amended in the Texas Election Code. Section 141.001.
I certainly understand why people would want to have this information. If you want to hold an office, you have to get it right. To get it wrong could get you booted off a political ticket, thus possibly losing money and valuable time.
In Houston, after reviewing applications, the city attorney’s office determines whether an applicant qualifies to run for a coveted public office seat. In fact, after their review, the Mayor declared at least eight 2019 city council candidates ineligible to run. At least one of those candidates, Michelle Bonton, was declared ineligible because she lived in an annexed limited jurisdiction area of the city, where people there freely vote in local elections, but cannot hold municipal office. This may sound like old news, but in fact is very new, and as you continue to read you will see why.
If Bonton had continued her quest for the office, it would have been in violation of Texas Local Government Code Sec 43.130 at (b) which states that, “ A resident of an area annexed for limited purposes is not eligible to be a candidate for, or to be elected to a municipal office”.
To prevent a violation of the statute, it was important, if ineligible, that Bonton was pulled from the ticket no matter how late in the game that information was discovered or relayed to her. After all, the rule had to be upheld, and certainly not violated. Bonton’s name remained on the ballot because it was too late to take it off, and basically any votes she garnered were thrown out. She was asked to leave before getting to the other side.
Gosh, I am sure this lady was thoroughly heartbroken when she was told of her fate, but she had to move on. The rules are the rules, even if at times they are a bit hard to discern. They were put in place for a reason. If she would have been allowed to stay, how could you prevent another from vying to obtain the seat again, in violation of the statute? The statute has to be upheld.
Now, here we are, once again, with this same issue raising its head. So is it just a matter of time for city officials to tell Tarsha Jackson, who now holds a council seat, that she is ineligible to hold that seat as she is similarly situated as Michelle Bonton?
But, wait, how was she even able to get to this point? Wasn’t there a careful review of the applications?
In taking a quick look at The Texas Secretary of State’s website at “Voter Registration Requirements for Candidates,” It states under Section 141.032 of the Texas Election Code that, at a minimum,
·
• There is a review of the face of a candidate’s application for office.
Further under that same statute and most critical to this issue is that,
· • “If you look up one candidate’s status, you should look up everyone’s.”
It appears that once a candidate’s status is being reviewed, then “all” are to be reviewed. Is this just a suggestion found in the election code? It certainly would be the fair and equitable thing to do. If you are going to review applications for eligibility to run for office, what criteria do you use to skip over others and not review them?
Finally in a continuation of that same statute it states that,
· • application forms (revised 2015) should show that review of the registration status by the filing authority.
It seems to state that any application, once reviewed, should have some indication of that review noted on that application. If that is the case, all of those reviewed applications, which should have been 100% of them, should contain some marking, possibly showing an eligible or ineligible status.
There are a lot of questions here. Starting with,
· • Could the city attorney’s office have dropped the ball?
· • Has anyone lodged an investigation to determine if Tarsha Jackson lives in an area where she may be able keep her seat?
· • Is someone going to review her application if it has not yet been reviewed, but should have since others were?
· • Is the only way to remove Jackson from council is through filing a quo warranto lawsuit?
· Will we all be required to learn sign language because everyone has now gone hearing impaired and mute? (which is actually a good thing as it should be a required language anyway, and an issue that I fight very hard for).
Nevertheless, after the issue of Tarsha Jackson’s eligibility came into question, she told a Houston Chronicle staff writer Dylan McGuiness, who published an article about the matter on January 5th, 2021 that, “I’ve been forthright on everything when I applied to run to represent the residents of District B. My address is on all the documentation.” “I looked at the criteria we needed to run, and as far as I’m concerned, I met that criteria.”
So why should she not think this? After all, city officials made a list and checked it twice. They booted off those deemed ineligible. If Jackson did not fit the criteria, wouldn’t she have been ousted as well? Surely they checked her credentials. Surely?
In that public statement to the press, Jackson solidified the address that she stands by is the one that is “all on the documentation.” Any newly acquired address afterwards should not be an issue if a different residency address were to surface, just saying.
You know, it is really time that things are done in the manner they should be. We place people in these offices because we want to be able to depend on them. Do not continue to take our hope.
I understand that Ms. Jackson may be an excellent addition to the City Council. However, if she does not fit the criteria for holding that seat, she has to be asked to step down.
I do not believe, just like with Michelle Bonton, that Tarsha Jackson, just got up one day, made up her mind to run for a council seat, filled out the application and ran a long and tiring campaign. I do not think that she went through the suffering that comes with such efforts, and all the while had the knowledge that she was prohibited from running. She absolutely did not know then. But she must now surely know, and no matter how late in the game it is, there is a decision has to be made.
By the way, the filing of a quo warranto lawsuit by the district attorney, county attorney, or attorney general’s office is purely discretionary. They do not have to file such a lawsuit if they chose not to. But, if they do not, what does that say to the citizens of Houston? The citizens whom they are to protect and serve? Why should we even vote if people are going to continue to do whatever they want, and represent us minimally at best. Sometimes, I wish I were dealing with robots.
I do not personally know any of the members of City Council. I am not a friend or foe to anyone of whom has been mentioned in this article. In fact, I do not even know any of them personally. I write on the issues as they are presented. I am my own person, and owe no allegiance to anyone other than the Lord Jesus Christ. That is all.

PROUD AMERICANS CELEBRATING FREEDOM TOGETHER SERIES
Americans from all walks of life and political affiliations will be afforded the opportunity to openly share their thoughts on “WHAT FREEDOM MEANS TO THEM” with Aubrey R. Taylor, publisher of Houston Business Connection Newspaper© as part of our mission to give our readers “UNFILTERED ACCESS” into the minds of powerful “OPEN-MINDED” elected officials, community stakeholders, and faith leaders as our way of embracing and exercising our God-given and inspired “CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS” related to freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and our ability to “PEACEABLY ASSEMBLE” and petition our Government for a redress of our grievances. So, to this end I would like to publicly thank Dr. Steven F Hotze, M.D., one of the “TITLE SPONSORS” of “PART ONE” our "Proud Americans Celebrating Freedom Together" series for his financial support, and for finding value in our mission to protect our “CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS” related to freedom of speech and freedom of the press. I would also like to thank Dr. Hotze for assisting us in our quest to educate, and empower our readership to make informed decisions at the ballot box in the 2022 Midterms.
