An embattled county court-at-law judge accused of hurting his son has removed himself from hearing criminal cases in Guadalupe County.
On Monday, Judge William G. Squires III sent a memorandum to Guadalupe County Clerk Teresa Kiel asking her office to refrain from assigning criminal cases in his court. Squires also requested Kiel reassign any existing cases in his court and assign future criminal cases to County Court At Law No. 2, for Judge Kirsten Legore to hear.
âI am voluntarily recusing from all criminal cases filed in the County Court at Law temporarily,â Squires wrote. âJudge Legore has agreed to temporarily hear all criminal cases.â
