On Aug. 13, 419th District Judge Orlinda Naranjo of Austin dismissed a suit between the Texas Ethics Commission (TEC) and Sharon Keller, presiding judge of the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.

The dismissal comes after the criminal-court judge on Aug. 8 paid $25,000 to the TEC under a settlement agreement that also required Keller to admit she violated the law by omitting assets from personal financial statements.
