Appeals from the 80th District Court in Cases in which Judge Bradshaw-Hull
presided

Forward v. Texas Board of Pardons and Parole (pdf) (Tex.App.- Houston [1st Dist.] Dec. 17, 2009)(Alcala)
Appellant, John Patrick Forward, appeals the trial court's order that dismissed for want of prosecution his petition for
expunction of records. In two issues, Forward contends the court abused its discretion in dismissing his expunction
petition for want of prosecution because the trial court did not give Forward adequate notice that his petition would be
dismissed for failure to prosecute his case, and he proved each of the requirements for having his record expunged. We
conclude the trial court did not give adequate notice to Forward of its intent to dismiss the case. We, therefore, reverse and
remand the case to the trial court.

WHEN SHOULD A JUDGE RECUSE?
WHEN SHOULD A JUDGE RECUSE?
Recusal is appropriate if a material witness,
a party or related to a party, previously
acted as a party’s attorney, related
to a party’s attorney, prepared any legal
instrument which is in issue, when
personally or financially interested in
the outcome, or determines cannot act
impartially. Recusal is inappropriate to
avoid public clamor, fear or criticism or
political attack.
Under Texas law, a judge must recuse
himself/herself in any proceeding in
which his/her impartiality might reasonably
be questioned. There must be no
doubts or suspicions as to the fairness
or integrity of the court. The judiciary
must strive not only to give all parties a
fair trial but also to maintain a high level
of public trust and confidence.
