Lawnmower Man, Palestine Texas

09/06/2026

America, the greatest free country on the planet?

I've been taught my whole life we have rights. The Citizens run the county & the government takes a back seat.

Then the awakening, the reality & stone cold truth.

Civil Court is not the place of the free where law prevails. Where time and money matter. You have zero unchallened rights.

At one time it was advised that you have the Civil Rights you can afford $$$$$ to prove, no matter how clear they are stated the the Constitution.

The TRUTH?

You only have the Civil Rights the Court decides to ALLOW you to have.

& like in the case of City of Palestine v. Lawnmower Man.

27 case laws say anything done outside City Council approval is NULL & VOID.

Attorney Ron Stutes on the stand under oath in post trial hearings proudly admitted that he never asked City Council but they never told me to stop.

Then he proceeded to go after Jerry like a rabid dog hell bent on ruin and devastation.

When you have something they want. This is how the Government will destroy you, your hopes, dreams and future.

You have to ask yourself why they have blatantly ignored the rule of law repeatedly in this case and no-one cares.

It is like everything the Constitution of the United States doesn't exist where Jerry Laza is concerned.

Wow...

8 hrs of inspection by city officials and 2 different pest control company yielded zero, zip, nada evidence of rats at any of Jerry's properties.

How much was he fined because a rat might want to harborage there?

$27,375

Is that the largest fine the City of Palestine has ever charged anyone?

No, zip, nada

It is the only fine, the lowest and the highest in the history of the City of Palestine according to an open records report.

See the device in the picture below of a local convenience store? They are out side every single establishment that sells food.

That is the only thing every other business in town is required to do. & it is the only requirement, I bet it doesn't cost $27,375.

If it doesn't make sense you must ask why?

Don't think the City wanted the Property?

Let me line that up for you...

At the time Attorney Ron Stutes filed the lawsuit against Jerry Laza, he was representing the City in 3 other lawsuits the City Council knew nothing about.

One of those civil suits was the UP Railroad suit. The powers that were involved in that suit, local Attorney, board members & judge knew that it would be lost because they had broken the original agreement by entering into a new agreement.

Yes, possibly very few people knew. The ones that did were in influential positions.

So, the plan. Expand the Texas State Railroad into town. Put in an additional train that would run from the UP rail yard to the State Railroad depot. Put up a entertainment venue and distillery at the end of town said to have the best water.

The eyes were laser focused on 1101 W. Oak w/5 acres, 2 houses, a shop & a 5,000 square ft 1950 art deco building enclosed w/6ft fence.

What do these three things, Texas State Railroad, UP lawsuit and City of Palestine v. Laza have in common?

A SLEW OF CITY OFFICIALS ON THE BOARD, INVOLVED & ATTORNEY RON STUTES REPRESENTING THEM ALL

2 + 2 = 4

Texas Municipal League Attorneys only need to ask Google:

In Texas can a city attorney file a lawsuit without City Council approval in a strong City Council form of municipal government?

No, a Texas city attorney generally cannot file a lawsuit on behalf of the city without City Council approval, even in a strong-mayor or strong council form of government.

Under Texas municipal law, the power to initiate litigation rests entirely with the city's governing body, not its legal counsel.

The Legal FrameworkUltimate Authority: The power to sue or control litigation belongs solely to the City Council as the corporate governing body.

Attorney-Client Relationship: Under the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct, the city attorney represents the municipal entity as a whole, not individual officials. The City Council acts as the client's decision-making body, and an attorney cannot file a claim without the client's explicit authorization.

The "Strong" Form Nuance: In a "strong-mayor" system (the typical terminology used in Texas rather than "strong council"), executive power is concentrated in the mayor.

However, even a strong mayor cannot unilaterally direct a city attorney to file a lawsuit without Council approval, unless that specific authority has been legally delegated.

Google probably pulled this right from the TML handbook.

This legal concept is known as a Monell claim (or Monell liability), which is brought under the federal civil rights statute 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

In the landmark 1978 case Monell v. Department of Social Services, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a local municipality is legally considered a "person" under federal law and can be sued directly for civil rights violations.

However, a city cannot be sued simply because it employed a bad actor. To successfully hold the city itself liable for knowingly supporting or allowing a bad actor's behavior, a plaintiff must prove one of the following specific legal theories:

1. Deliberate Indifference (Failure to Train, Supervise, or Discipline)

2. Widespread Custom or Practice

3. Official Policy or Ordinance

4. Ratification by a Final Policymaker

I personally think we have the City of Palestine on every single count.

Over a year the case sits...

Our team files & asks for a status hearing.

It sits in District court gathering dust. Ignored, the same way everyone one of Jerry's civil rights violations were throughout this case.

10 of the most important pieces of paper & ink to Jerry and the life he spent working for that the City destroyed over the equivalent of a speeding ticket.

& what do these MALFEASANTS do with their tax paid hourly fees?

On 8/5/26, his 61st birthday, they file 91 pages. They have thought about this for a while.

91 pages of the biggest crap filled word salad essay trying to use every Judge's mistakes to prove a point.

I expected to turn the page & read "this one time at band camp". Totally unbelievable.

& it isn't because they are correct in any argument. Nope. It is because Jerry has to pay for every line of that filing to be answered that was submitted by Texas Municipal League Attorneys, who now represents the City. Even if it is to say "this isn't allowed because"...

They know they are wrong. 91 pages off subject matter proves they are running scared & just throwing everything at the wall to see if something sticks.

THEY ARE SHAKING IN THEIR DESIGNER BOOTS.

& I'm here for it.

When you have something they want. This is how the Government will destroy you, your hopes, dreams and future.
