I have forwarded your request to the District Clerk's Office.
From: Mclennan County Administrator Dustin Chapman
Please see the below from Jon Gimble...
If she wants to submit something for the foreman to review, she can address it to the district clerk’s office, attn: Grand Jury Foreman. It would then be up to the foremen to decide how/if to proceed.
From: Bernadette Feazell
Since we all know what is going on here, let's get us a nice AG's Opinion,shall we? Mr. Tetens' knows about the working on County Time of Johnathan Crawley. He has shown no interest whatsoever, and I, as a Citizen am ENTITLED TOTALLY to the name of the Grand Jury Foreperson. I also do NOT have to go to the District Clerk, I can put it into the hand of the foreperson.
You are acting rather guilty and I am not the only one that has noticed this.
There is LAW and it's not on your side. Vic Feazell was indicted for a lot less than this.
150K in free garden work paid for by the County.
Obviously, you are scared of the truth.
You know full well this is true and are scared to death, not just scared, you are complicit.
As an Officer of the Court, YOU, TETENS have already failed in your duty to go forward with this. Other Officers of the Court have been to the FBI and I guess the question is, how stupid and crooked are you in your constant attempts to make this truth go away???????
There are hospital records the Grand Jury should ask for, YOU should ask for but you do not. Scared?
There are "pings" from the radio locating the car Crawley was using, oops, you forgot? The radio checks will show where his location was.
The fact that there are no body cams, in the opinion of OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES is also proof of Parnell NOT Wanting people to know where people were, hence, Crawley and his Sheriff's dept. car.
Hello?
I am asking for the name of the Grand Jury foreperson.
Your b.s. District Clerk pass off, is further evidence of YOUR crime and being complicit in this cover up.
Hope your law license is worth this, all of you.
xoxo

From: Mclennan County Administrator Dustin Chapman
I have forwarded your response to the DA and District Clerk. The County Judge's Office is not the custodian of grand jury records. Those are records of the District Courts and, hence, why the request was sent to the District Clerk. I will follow-up when I get a response.
From: Mclennan County Administrator Dustin Chapman
Please see the below from Jon Gimble...
We currently do not have a Grand Jury empaneled. Thus the suggestion to address to this office attn: Grand Jury Foreman. A new Grand Jury is scheduled to be created tomorrow.
From: Bernadette Feazell
Dustin, I send stuff to you because I can, I send it to you so you can transmit the "gossip" where it needs to go.
The entire county, including you, after all, YOU have a law license too and are an "officer of the court", and our District Clerk should be more than interested in 150K worth of work done by Johnathan Crawley for Parnell at his house paid for by the county taxpayers. Get real.
That Josh Tetens was told by me in front of witnesses who heard me, and him at the Republican Club WITH Brittany Lannen, at that time she was waiting to sign a contract to represent the Crawleys and was AT the Republican Club with me and others rather upset at the entire situation. Tetens was given the opportunity to talk to her and he said he didn't need to because he believed her.
That I want and am forced to go to the Grand Jury Foreperson myself is a travesty in itself and you know it.
Tetens has had phone calls from other people who wanted to tell him what happened and he does not even call them back.
I have emails and texts between myself and this DA and now I am satisfied that THIS is a travesty. I along with many, many others have been to the Federal authorities about this because YOU people simply don't care. However, you have law licenses and I have proof.
I feel quite sure that you, Mr. Chapman would indeed rather have your head in the sand, it's oh, so much nicer, however, there is proof, witnesses and people who will not lie.
This has been going on since February the sixth and I, am quite tired of playing little games with you "boys" I have statements, texts, and on the other hand, your incompetence and total lack of "curiosity" about the matter. i suspect you talked to ole Par and he assured you I was crazy, well, let's see how this plays out. Remember you all KNOW about this so you're all culpable because of your knowledge and failure as officers of the court to do anything.
Let's stop and think how my Complaint against not getting the name of the Grand Jury Foreperson along with this story plus evidence is going to play at the AG's office, then they too will have the knowledge of a crime .....
Your DA won't take this to the Grand Jury or even return calls from people who were there. The taxpayers paid 150K for this, Crawley himself is willing to tell any of you that call him and yet you don't. He told ME.
So you non curious good old boys just transfer what needs to go to what department and play your game.
I have evidence and truth on my side.
Let's play.
I have 60K read me every day which equates to 47% of the voting public and that was BEFORE Parnell and Charlotte and the County yellow tape at the old mansion debaucle.
What is wrong with you?
Truly.
From: Bernadette Feazell
I am not nice, I am not liked much, and I don't care one bit about you public servants and your whining cover ups. I notice you got a nice raise for being a lawyer, Chapman, well be one. Fortitude? Or do you just care about lining the pockets of contractors and Judges. You're the first LAWYER they've had in this position, so be one.
Bernadette Feazell
From: Mclennan County Administrator Dustin Chapman
Once the grand jury foreperson is selected, we will send you his/her name. But by law, we cannot send you his/her personal address or other personal information.
From: Bernadette Feazell
Dustin,
IF I had wanted the Grand Jury Foreperson's address I would have asked for it. I know better and knew that before you were born.
I would appreciate it if you didn't treat me like I was stupid. You certainly assume a lot, no wonder you have to work for someone else instead of as a real lawyer. Do you treat all women like they're stupid?
Condescending, that's the word.
Stop assuming I am not going somewhere with this. Unfortunately, I can't stop assuming you're
one of them and trying your best to NOT do anything to rock your cushy boat.
I know not to ask for the address and you have angered me by treating me this way, how long have you hated women?
From: Mclennan County Administrator Dustin Chapman

Please stop assuming I am stupid. Please, just for one minute, how about it. I already told you I don't want the home address, are you nuts?
You just cannot stop yourself, can you?
I know better, YOU, however, just want to insult me over and over again, hope that's working out for you.

The below referenced request re: grand jury foreperson was fulfilled. I think you had another one with the SO that they were gathering documents on. I will forward this to them.
From: Mclennan County Administrator Dustin Chapman
I found the below request on Muckrock. It was not sent to my email address so I am responding to a previous request since I cannot respond directly. It appears to have an identifier of “169830.” I have sent the request to the SO and to HR.
Subject: None
None
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Texas Public Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
Silly me I asked for the Questionnaires, I thought any idiot would realize I wanted the ANSWERS to the questionnaires, but you thought you'd be cute and redact the answers. Hope buying yourself three weeks was worth it. Also, you know I don't drive so it would be nice if you'd do the answers in the NORMAL WAY and not put them on a thumb drive so you can have me trot on down there and you can see who brought me. That's what this is, isn't it? Inconvenience and a few giggles, well, send me the answers to the questionnaires, and the other stuff you neglected to ad. Keep thinking everyone is stupid. Go ahead it's served you well so far, right?
Dustin, dear, you can go ahead and write me another little bitch out note about how this has nothing to do with Felton but we both know that at this point, it does. Plus, YOU are still an officer of the court. Tick tock.
We request all responsive ANSWERS from the employees and any further correspondence from any supervisor to any employee or from supervisor to supervisor to the questionnaire's that we received in open records. We request all documentation that accompanied these questions and their answers and further request and disciplinary measures that generated from any questionnaires that have been handed out by ANY supervisor in the past 13 months.
All letters of explanation from Aaron Burns, James Wolfe, Brad Stovall, Tim Davenport, Martin Arellano, Rose Peterson, Dustin Losak, Pete Peterson, Hunter Herring, Parnell McNamara, Jeremy Bost, Cody Blossman, Mike Gates, Colt Braziel, All Jail Sgt's. Any questionnaires that any of the employees have answered in the past 13 months, any letters
We also request any and all disciplinary actions that have been issued since Cody Blossman has been Chief Deputy or in the past 13 months. We would like to include all disciplinary records that are being kept in supervisors desk and not placed in the personnel files as these are government documents and we are requesting them. The fact that these disciplinary records may be being kept in a desk or file does not exempt them from being subject to open records as all disciplinary measures are open to the public to view.
We request the names of all employees who have resigned or been terminated from the McLennan County Sheriffs Office since Cody Blossman has been chief deputy or in the past 13 months.
We further request any and all emails and correspondence between Cody Blossman and Anna Picasso for the past 13 months.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 business days, as the statute requires.
