UPDATE: Fort Bend County District Attorney Brian Middleton has just filed a motion seeking sanctions against attorneys representing Judge KP George, accusing them of engaging in a “calculated deception” aimed at misleading the court. This urgent development raises critical questions about the integrity of the ongoing legal proceedings against George.
In his filing, submitted to the court on November 14, 2025, Middleton claims that attorneys Jared Woodfill and Terry Yates deliberately misrepresented facts and legal precedents in their attempts to have the indictments against George dismissed. The attorneys allegedly cited fictitious statements in case law and falsely asserted that three minutes of crucial evidence from a witness interview was missing—claims Middleton vehemently disputes.
“George’s Attorneys’ habitual and unabashed disregard for the truth is evident,” Middleton stated, emphasizing that their allegations of prosecutorial misconduct lack any basis in reality. He asserts that George’s defense team was provided with the complete recording of the interview, which was captured using two different cameras, contradicting their claims of evidence destruction.
The controversy escalates as Middleton argues that the defense attorneys knowingly misled the judge, stating, “Their assertion that a portion of the video no longer exists is patently false.” He insists that the full recording is available and in the possession of George’s legal team. This situation raises serious ethical concerns, as Middleton urges the court to impose disciplinary action against the attorneys for their alleged misconduct.
The legal battles surrounding Judge KP George intensified following his indictment in October 2024 for allegedly posting fake, racist messages online to sabotage his opponent during the November 2022 election. Additionally, he faced a felony charge of money laundering related to campaign finances in March 2025. George’s former chief of staff has already pleaded guilty in connection with the scandal.
Middleton’s motion calls for the court to take several actions, including imposing fines, holding the attorneys in contempt, and possibly reporting them to the Texas Bar Association for further investigation. The stakes are high as the upcoming hearing is scheduled for mid-December, where the court will address these serious allegations.
As this story develops, the integrity of the legal proceedings against Judge George remains under scrutiny. Middleton’s accusations of bad faith and deception introduce a new layer of complexity to an already significant case that could have lasting implications for all parties involved.
Stay tuned for updates as this urgent legal situation unfolds, impacting not just the individuals directly involved but also the broader community in Fort Bend County.
