IV FOREWORD HISTORY OF THE OFFICE OF JUSTICE OF THE PEACE The office of Justice of the Peace was established in 1362 A.D. by King Edward III of England. The office of Justice of the Peace is credited with completing the centralization of government in England. The office of Jus,tice of the Peace is an integral po,rt of the Anglo-American system of jurisprudence. For three hundred years, the English Justices of the Peace contributed immeasurably, through police, administrative and judicial functions, to the final supremacy of the lawmaking body of England. As the American Colonies were being founded, one of the first offices established by the King was that of Justice of the Peace. In the colonial setting, the primary functioL of the justice was to establish and maintain order. The Ameri­ canized Justice of the Peace Court expanded to include taking acknowledgments, performing marriages and taking depositions. The Justice of the Peace quickly became a person of recognized standing in the community. This tradition of a "grass roots" court was quickly instituted when Texas became a republic. With a sparse popu­ lation and the need for a decentralized government, the office, of Justice of the Peace became an integral part of the young ~ Republic's government. The Constitution of the Republic, written in-1836 1 specified that a "convenient number of Justices of the Peace" were to be elected in each county by the qualified voters for a term of two years. In the 1876 Constitution of the State of Texas, Article Five, Section One, the office of Justice of the Peace was again established as a court in which judicial power was vested. Section Nineteen of Article Five held that: *Justices of the Peace shall have jurisdiction in criminal matters of all cases where the penalty or fine to be imposed by law may not be more than two hundred dollars and in civil matters of all cases where the amount in controversy is two hun­ dred dollars or less, exclusive of interest, of which exclusive, original jurisdiction is not given to the District or County Courts; and such other jurisdiction, criminal and civil, as may 'be provided by law .... Additionally, Article 2.09 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure defines "magistrates" to include the Justices of the Peace. The duty of a magistrate is defined in Article 2.10 of * Amended in 1978 to provide civil jurisdiction up to $500. v the Code as: .•• to preserve the peace within his jurisdiction by the use of all lawful means; to issue all pro­ cess intended to aid in preventing and suppressing cr"ime, to cause the arrest of offenders by the use of lawful means in order that they may be brought to punishment. Thus, the added responsibility of magistrate's duties greatly increases the responsibility of a Texas Justice of the Peace. Today, there are approximately nine hundred and twenty Justice of the Peace Courts in the State of Texas. Of this number, approximately ten percen"t of these are staffed with attorney justices. The Justice of the Peace Cour'f affords our citizenry with a valuable and, readily accessable forum for the impartial adjudication 0,£ minor confl.;.i.cts. Approxima,tely ninety percent of our citizenry, who. ha:le,::,cont!.act wi th o~J- COUir't~ system ei ther appear only in -. a J'ust:ice of the Peace or Muni.cipal Court. Thus, the lower courts are paramount in the attitudi­ nal perception which our citizens develop of our entire court system. As the majority of Justices of the Peace assume office with a minimum of legal or administrative skills, the Texas Legislature amended Article 5972 of the Texas Revised Civil Statutes to include the requirement that all non-attorney Justices of the Peace complete, on a yearly basis, a course in the performance of their duties. Since this training require­ ment became effective in 1971, the Justice Court Training Center has been providing the vehicle for the accomplishment of this requirement. The Training Center, a branch of South­ west Texas State University, provides the only recognized program which satisfies the training requirement set out by the Texas Legislature. This 1980 directory is designed to assist members of our criminal justice com,'Ilunity in identifying and locating particular justices and constables. Great efforts have been made to insure the accuracy of this directory. However, with such a large' population, some degree of erro~ can be anticipated in the ident~­ fication of its members. This is however, the most complete, up­ to-date listing available. VI TEXAS JUSTICE COURT TRAINING CENTER STAFF EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ••....•.••..•••..•...• RONALD D.

  • Kert, Larry (1930-1991) Larry Kert and Carol Lawrence Performing on by Craig Kaczorowski the Ed Sullivan Show in 1958
    Kert, Larry (1930-1991) Larry Kert and Carol Lawrence performing on by Craig Kaczorowski the Ed Sullivan Show in 1958. Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Film still from a YouTube video. Entry Copyright © 2010 glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com The gay actor and singer Larry Kert originated the lead romantic role of Tony in the landmark 1957 Broadway musical West Side Story. With his expressive, vibrant tenor, he introduced some of the most memorable songs in the Leonard Bernstein-Stephen Sondheim score, including "Maria," "Tonight," and "Something's Coming." In 1970, Kert triumphed again on Broadway in another Sondheim musical, Company, as Robert, a New York bachelor observing the strains and tensions in the marriages of his best friends, as well as struggling to commit emotionally to each of his three girlfriends. Other Broadway shows involving Kert were unfortunately short-lived, and his later career was devoted mainly to cabaret, television, and regional theater. He was born Frederick Lawrence Kert in Los Angeles, California on December 5, 1930 into a comfortably middle-class family. His father was a jeweler and his mother an actress. He had a brother, Morton, and two sisters, Evelyn and the singer later known as Anita Ellis. He initially attended Hollywood High School but transferred to the Hollywood Professional School in Los Angeles. While still in school, Kert performed as an extra and stunt double in several movies, including Lassie Come Home (1943), where he was a stand-in for the film's star Roddy McDowell. After graduation, Kert took some classes at Los Angeles City College but soon dropped out and moved to New York City where he studied with the celebrated acting teacher Sanford Meisner.

  • ISIS Agent, Sterling Archer, Launches His Pirate King Theme FX Cartoon Series Archer Gets Its First Hip Hop Video Courtesy of Brooklyn Duo, Drop It Steady
    ISIS agent, Sterling Archer, launches his Pirate King Theme FX Cartoon Series Archer Gets Its First Hip Hop Video courtesy of Brooklyn duo, Drop it Steady Fans of the FX cartoon series Archer do not need to be told of its genius. The show was created by many of the same writers who brought you the Fox series Arrested Development. Similar to its predecessor, Archer has built up a strong and loyal fanbase. As with most popular cartoons nowadays, hip-hop artists tend to flock to the animated world and Archer now has it's hip-hop spin off. Brooklyn-based music duo, Drop It Steady, created a fun little song and video sampling the show. The duo drew their inspiration from a series sub plot wherein Archer became a "pirate king" after his fiancée was murdered on their wedding day in front of him. For Archer fans, the song and video will definitely touch a nerve as Drop it Steady turns the story of being a pirate king into a forum for discussing recent break ups. Video & Music Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?bapupbzlw1tzt5a Official Website: http://www.dropitsteady.com Drop it Steady on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/dropitsteady About Drop it Steady: Some say their music played a vital role in the Arab Spring of 2011. Others say the organizers of Occupy Wall Street were listening to their demo when they began to discuss their movement. Though it has yet to be verified, word that the first two tracks off of their upcoming EP, The Most Interesting EP In The World, were recorded at the ceremony for Prince William and Katie Middleton and are spreading through the internets like wild fire.

  • Free Land Attracted Many Colonists to Texas in 1840S 3-29-92 “No Quitting Sense” We Claim Is Typically Texas
    “Between the Creeks” Gwen Pettit This is a compilation of weekly newspaper columns on local history written by Gwen Pettit during 1986-1992 for the Allen Leader and the Allen American in Allen, Texas. Most of these articles were initially written and published, then run again later with changes and additions made. I compiled these articles from the Allen American on microfilm at the Allen Public Library and from the Allen Leader newspapers provided by Mike Williams. Then, I typed them into the computer and indexed them in 2006-07. Lois Curtis and then Rick Mann, Managing Editor of the Allen American gave permission for them to be reprinted on April 30, 2007, [email protected]. Please, contact me to obtain a free copy on a CD. I have given a copy of this to the Allen Public Library, the Harrington Library in Plano, the McKinney Library, the Allen Independent School District and the Lovejoy School District. Tom Keener of the Allen Heritage Guild has better copies of all these photographs and is currently working on an Allen history book. Keener offices at the Allen Public Library. Gwen was a longtime Allen resident with an avid interest in this area’s history. Some of her sources were: Pioneering in North Texas by Capt. Roy and Helen Hall, The History of Collin County by Stambaugh & Stambaugh, The Brown Papers by George Pearis Brown, The Peters Colony of Texas by Seymour V. Conner, Collin County census & tax records and verbal history from local long-time residents of the county. She does not document all of her sources.

  • ABSTRACT “The Good Angel of Practical Fraternity:” the Ku Klux Klan in Mclennan County, 1915-1924. Richard H. Fair, M.A. Me
    ABSTRACT “The Good Angel of Practical Fraternity:” The Ku Klux Klan in McLennan County, 1915-1924. Richard H. Fair, M.A. Mentor: T. Michael Parrish, Ph.D. This thesis examines the culture of McLennan County surrounding the rise of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s and its influence in central Texas. The pervasive violent nature of the area, specifically cases of lynching, allowed the Klan to return. Championing the ideals of the Reconstruction era Klan and the “Lost Cause” mentality of the Confederacy, the 1920s Klan incorporated a Protestant religious fundamentalism into their principles, along with nationalism and white supremacy. After gaining influence in McLennan County, Klansmen began participating in politics to further advance their interests. The disastrous 1922 Waco Agreement, concerning the election of a Texas Senator, and Felix D. Robertson’s gubernatorial campaign in 1924 represent the Klan’s first and last attempts to manipulate politics. These failed endeavors marked the Klan’s decline in McLennan County and Texas at large. “The Good Angel of Practical Fraternity:” The Ku Klux Klan in McLennan County, 1915-1924 by Richard H.

    SYMBOL OF CONQUEST, ALLIANCE, AND HEGEMONY: THE IMAGE OF THE CROSS IN COLONIAL MEXICO by ZACHARY WINGERD Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON August 2008 Copyright © by Zachary Wingerd 2008 All Rights Reserved ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I offer thanks to Dr. Dennis Reinhartz, Dr. Kenneth Philp, Dr. Richard Francaviglia, and Dr. Joseph Bastien who agreed to sit on my dissertation committee and guide my research and writing. Special thanks are given to Dr. Douglas Richmond who encouraged my topic from the very beginning and as the committee chair actively supported my endeavor. May 1, 2008 iii DEDICATED TO MY LOVING WIFE AND SONS Lindsey, Josh, and Jamie iv ABSTRACT SYMBOL OF CONQUEST, ALLIANCE, AND HEGEMONY: THE IMAGE OF THE CROSS IN COLONIAL MEXICO Zachary Wingerd, PhD. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2008 Supervising Professor: Douglas Richmond The universality of the cross image within the transatlantic confrontation meant not only a hegemony of culture, but of symbolism. The symbol of the cross existed in both European and American societies hundreds of years before Columbus. In both cultures, the cross was integral in religious ceremony, priestly decoration, and cosmic maps. As a symbol of life and death, of human and divine suffering, of religious and political acquiescence, no other image in transatlantic history has held such a perennial, powerful message as the cross. For colonial Mexico, which felt the brunt of Spanish initiative, the symbol of the cross penetrated the autochthonous culture out of which the independent nation and indigenous church were born.
