Google Yourself Corpus Christi: Is Fil Vela going into the fraud abuse prosecution racket & the manufacturing of fraud abuse prosecutions? Inroads (for GOP) into South Texas?Word on the streets of Kleberg, Jim Wells and Nueces Counties:

Is Fil Vela going into the fraud abuse prosecution racket and the manufacturing of fraud abuse prosecutions? I understand from certain entities that Vela has been hiring young attorneys out of the small South Texas Towns for his new specialization. It is also whispered that Mr Vela met with a Federal Prosecutor last week to discuss Federal Judgeship Appointments.

Junior John has got to figure in this mix and Fil is the inroads (for Cornyn) into South Texas. We need to put a Big Stop Sign up in Robstown and inform them about Connie Scott as I understand Fil Vela is her campaign manager or treasurer (will check) and Mike Scott is a TLR guy with a title.

SUBPOENAS- SECTION 301.071, TUC ACT--RULE 18(1)(A), 40 TAC §815.18(1)(A)

212. SUBPOENAS - SECTION 301.071, TUC ACT--RULE 18(1)(A), 40 TAC §815.18(1)(A)

1. Section 301.071 of the Texas Unemployment Compensation Act empowers hearing officers to issue subpoenas. Commission Rule 18(1)(A) provides for subpoenas to compel the attendance of witnesses and the production of records for any hearing of an appeal. Under that rule, unless directed to be issued by a member of the Commission or an Appeal Tribunal, a subpoena shall be issued only upon a showing of a necessity therefor by the party applying for the issuance of the subpoena.

2. A subpoena will be issued upon the application of a party only when it is likely that the testimony sought is relevant to a disputed material fact issue. It is not necessary for the party requesting the subpoena to establish that the issuance of the subpoena is essential, that is, that the desired testimony or documents are indispensable to the successful presentation of the party's case. Upon questioning the party requesting issuance of the subpoena, it may be found that the witness to be subpoenaed is only in possession of information that is not disputed and that this additional evidence will not be necessary. If that is the case, it will be explained to the party requesting the subpoena that it does not appear that the witness' testimony will be necessary, but if it should develop at the hearing that it is necessary, arrangements will be made to secure it. However, if it is determined that a particular witness' testimony would be relevant and material and that the witness is unlikely to appear absent a subpoena, then the Hearing Officer should postpone the hearing so that the appropriate subpoenas can be issued. Similar action should be taken with respect to any relevant and material document which the possessing entity may not produce absent a subpoena.

3. The party requesting a subpoena should first be asked by the Hearing Officer if they have contacted the witness themselves, since witnesses often comply with a simple request of the party to appear at a hearing. If the claimant wishes to have as a witness someone who is still employed by their former employer, a corrected notice requesting that individual's presence at the hearing may be mailed if time permits.

4. If a hearing must be postponed so that a subpoena can be issued, and no new documentation needs to be mailed to the parties with the next hearing notice, the Hearing Officer should keep the file and send an e-mail to the State Office scheduler for future scheduling for the Hearing Officer. If new documentation does need to be mailed to the parties with the next hearing notice, the Hearing Officer should complete a reset form and attach it to the front of the file, identify which documents need to be mailed to the parties with the next hearing notice by attaching the appropriate form, and then return the file to the State Office to the attention of the scheduler.

5. In the case of telephone or mixed hearings, a subpoenaed witness may participate by telephone from a different location than the other hearing participants.

6. If documents are being subpoenaed for a telephone hearing, the party to which the subpoena is addressed must also send copies of those documents to the opposing party prior to the hearing. Failure to send the requested documents may require a continuance so the opposing party will have an adequate opportunity to review the documents.

7. On any occasion in which a subpoena request is denied, whether requested by telephone, in writing, or in person, the Hearing Officer should complete a Contact Report Form and place it in the case file. The form should contain, among other things, a written description of the matter, the date, the person(s) requesting the subpoena, the person(s) or document(s) which were the objects of the requested subpoena, and the reason(s) why issuance of the subpoena was denied.

8. Subpoenas will be sent directly via certified mail. The person in the State Office who is responsible for sending out subpoenas will also be responsible for attaching the green card which certifies delivery when it is returned by the postal service to the copy of the subpoena retained in the State Office.
