Open government versus confidentiality in a Randall County case
Curtis Fowler accuses Judge Darrell Carey of retaliation for his support of Carey’s opponent in the Republican primary. Fowler filed a complaint with the State Commission on Judicial Conduct for not receiving docket copies, though staff cannot confirm receipt. The commission must keep complaints confidential for members, while Carey declines to comment publicly, citing judicial prudence. Flowers notes openness as possible but cautions about reputational harm if charges prove unfounded.
