Officer Hoskins-Brown Judgement

Stephanie Hoskins Brown won in District Court on June 28,2016. Visiting Judge Rick Morris ruled that the City of Georgetown MUST pay Officer Hoskins-Brown attorneys fees of 43,942.00 and 772.00 in appellate cost and additional cost incurred in the trial court today. This cause is remanded to the Civil Service Commission to make the determination as to whether Plaintiff's suspension will be upheld or if it should be reversed and reinstatement granted. Since there has been no new charges she should be reinstated. There are penalty clauses if the city tries to appeal to the Court of Appeals and it is unsuccessful the sum of 15,000.00 will be awarded. The sum of 5,000.00 is awarded if petition for review is filed by not granted bu the Supreme Court of Texas, and the sum of 7,500.00 is awarded if the petition for review is granted but the appeal to the Supreme Court of Texas is unsuccessful. It is time for the City of Georgetown to give up and quit wasting taxpayers hard earned dollars.

Here is the judgement document.
