@PommyMommy - I see that you are following this case - unfortunately since 3/10 I have not been able to access the Harris County court site... I don't know "what" happened??!!
So.... was wondering if you could see when Esparza's next hearing might be? The link to court site is on post #106. You have to sign in - but nothing to pay. It will be under the "Criminal" tab.

TIA!

Yep the world is out of control and things are going worse.
Can you imagine how this world will be in 50 years? A living nightmare. I'm happy I won't be here anymore...

The moral decline is happening so fast now I don't think it will even take 50 years.
