Judge Christopher Dupuy’s legal troubles span three different court systems in Galveston County civil, criminal and family law. Now, the suspended jurist is fighting back in the civil suit that seeks his permanent removal from the bench. He alleges in his response to the removal petition that the removal suit is a "politically charged" proceeding that is "akin to whistleblower retaliation."
George Parnham, a partner in Houston’s Parnham & McWilliams who represents Dupuy, says, "It’s simply an issue of a judge who has, in effect, been removed by felony indictments and who has been held hostage by a group of lawyers whose sole purpose is to remove him from the bench. I’m not going allow this man to be disgraced and to be rode out of Galveston on a rail."
