Brazoria County District Attorney Jeri Yenne accused the judge of attempting to use his influence to improperly demand the juvenile's release in January, according to court records. The documents allege that Sharp sent inappropriate texts and profane voice messages to county employees, a state district judge and a Brazoria County commissioner.
"
ou guys are a bunch of backwoods hillbillies that use screwed-up methods in dealing with children, and I can promise you this: Things are about to change in Brazoria County," Sharp said to a juvenile detention center director over the phone, court records show. "I am a judge in the Court of Appeals. I have authority over your judges along with every other judge in 10 counties in this area."
....
"If I had been there in person and had a baseball bat that [expletive] would have been cracked upside the head," Sharp said in a voicemail that was recorded and attached to the recusal motion.
He also texted the judge that county employees did not refer to him as "Judge."
"Brazoria County Juvie folks are nit (sic) just arrogant but ignorant! When an Appeals Court Justice calls and identifies himself and then they refer to me as 'Mr.' Sharp, it bespeaks a fundamental misunderstanding of respect and pecking order!"
