Update: TASB has already said a convicted felon cannot serve on a school board — even if pardoned or released from disabilities. Round Rock ISD still has one on the board. TASB’s school-board candidate guidance is not vague. Texas Education Code § 11.066 says a person who “has been convicted of a felony” is ineligible to serve as a trustee. TASB tells districts that ban applies even if the person has been pardoned or released from the disabilities of conviction. Running and serving are different rules. Service is the hard. Harris County Cause 674549 charged Fabian Herney Cuero with felony forgery in 1993. In 1997 a judge set aside the judgment after probation. That is judicial clemency, not an erasure of the question TASB poses: has this person been convicted of a felony? Cuero marked a felony conviction on his application that put him on this board, he answered the only question that matters under TASB’s reading of §11.066. The district then seated him anyway. @teainfo, district counsel, and the @KenPaxtonTX can say in one paragraph whether a disclosed felony — later set aside — still bars SERVICE on a Texas School Board. Until they do, Round Rock is ignoring its own association’s rule while a trustee who, on the paperwork, owned the conviction sits on the dais. Ask them to put the answer in writing. @TheLufkinLawyer @RoundRockISD @M4LWilCoTX @MQSullivan @RobbyMontoya @TweetTonyMac @TexasEd911 @HicklandHillary @CarolineForTX @mayes_middleton
