LIT UPDATE
We’ve returned to this case today, 15 July, 2021. In our absence, in April 2021 the State responded to the March filing by Brown seeking to dismiss the case. There has been no decision by the court on these percolatin’ filings.
UPDATE
March 2021 and we’ve movement in the criminal case. Brown asserts there is a political witch-hunt against him due to his familiarity with the Houston D.A. office and in particular D.A. Ogg’s apparent dislike for Mr Brown. A such he seeks dismissal of the case because Houston as a venue would not provide him due process in this criminal proceeding. See court filings below.

On the Harris County clerk website, the notice of settings page indicates a non-trial setting date of 9 February 2021 at 1pm in Court 209, before Judge Brian E Warren.
