Coats Rose fired an attorney after receiving a complaint from the Houston Lawyers Association about an attack letter the lawyer sent to an immigration judge running for a district court seat. Erica Hughes, a federally appointed judge described the letter was "threatening and harassing" in an interview with Fox 26 Houston. Hughes is in the Democratic primary race against Harris County District Court incumbent Mike Engelhart.
