A pair of Harris County civil court judges have been sanctioned for behavior in their courtrooms, with one judge allowing the shackling of attorneys and another erupting into fits of rage during a trial.
Judge Clinton"Chip" Wells in the 312th Family District Court and Judge Barbara Stalder in the 280th Family Protective Order Court were sanctioned for behavior in their courtroom.
Stalder could not be reached Friday as the commission’s ruling from April 20 was made public. Wells acknowledged that his actions were wrong. The bailiff handcuffed Saulsberry to a chair, in full view of the courtroom — including his client. Judge Stalder continued the hearing and Saulsberry remained shackled for about 20 minutes. In a written response to the commission, Stalder confirmed that she told her bailiff to escort Saulsberry to the jury boxBut she “did not deny that she ever asked him to take Mr. Saulsberry into custody or that Mr. Saulsberry in fact was shackled at any time.
