Related: About this forumGalveston judge may 'hurt or kill someone,' fellow judge says (updated 5/22/13)
GALVESTON - A Galveston County judge is a threat to other judges and could "become violent and hurt or kill someone," a fellow judge wrote in an email to county officials Tuesday.
State District Judge Susan Criss wrote that County Court-at-Law Judge Christopher Dupuy is perceived by some as a threat to their safety.
"County employees, family members of county employees, litigants and attorneys are expressing concern to those in authority, such as judges, the sheriff, the district attorney and to me that they are afraid Judge Dupuy will become violent and hurt or kill someone," Criss wrote. "Those expressing concerns include many I have known for decades who never expressed such concerns before recently."
Dupuy responded via email: "Ah, Judge Criss. What a political nutcase and embarrassment. I think that completely sums up her ridiculous statements to you in six words. I wonder what her story would be if she was under oath and subject to perjury?"

The Galveston County District Attorneys Office has stopped investigating complaints against a county court at law judge, choosing instead to forward those complaints to the state attorney generals office.
On Monday, Criminal District Attorney Jack Roady said his office a couple of weeks ago forwarded all complaints against Christopher Dupuy and would send any new complaints to the attorney generals office as well.

GALVESTON Judge Christopher Dupuy voluntarily removed himself Tuesday from hearing an attorneys family law case but not before finding the attorney in contempt for statements in her recusal motion.
Dupuys orders and rulings came amid a series of Monday and Tuesday (Feb. 11 and 12) hearings that attorneys characterized as bizarre.

She and her husband have attended a number of Fort Bend Democratic functions over the years. She is a very nice and competent lady.
