A judge has dismissed an election fraud case that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton brought earlier this year against a Medina County official.

Bandera County Judge Melvin “Rex” Emerson dismissed all charges on Dec. 21 against Tomas “Tommy” Ramirez, a justice of the peace in Medina County. Three days later, the State Commission on Judicial Conduct said Ramirez could return to his JP position. It had suspended him when he was indicted in February.

“This case was politically motivated and was totally unjustified,” Ramirez said.

He accused Paxton of pushing for an indictment just to get headlines and rile up his base.

“My family and I have received anonymous hate mail and ugly social media attacks,” Ramirez said. “My law office was vandalized and I was even asked by the State Bar of Texas if I wanted to voluntarily surrender my law license.”
