Brazos County commissioners considering a contract to do a financial audit of the company hired to administer guardianship services hear from a constable about those services.
During the commission’s February 25th meeting, it was brought up that the audit contract took the place of getting no responses to a request for proposals.
Precinct two constable Donald Lampo said he thought the county received no proposals to do the audit because that will “stir up a hornet’s nest”.
Lampo said he had two family members who “went bankrupt” by the guardianship lawyer, “because nothing ever got processed.”
Lampo said “there’s something going on over at that courthouse on guardianships” where “there’s some good ‘ol boy going on over there that’s very bad”.
There was no response to Lampo’s comments by commissioners or anyone else attending the meeting.
WTAW News contacted Lampo for additional comment. The constable referred us to another family member who was the guardian of a cousin who has passed away. The guardian said the lawyer she hired “abused her trust” and took at least half the liquidated assets belonging to her cousin.
The guardian also said based on her experience, to avoid lawyers in guardianships and conservatorships “at all costs”.
The audit contract, which was unanimously approved, covers guardianship services for Brazos County courts at law one and two. According to a county document, the contract was submitted to commissioners by county court at law judge Amanda Matzke.
