Jim was born August 27, 1933 to Emmett and Flosie (Flemming) Alexander in Brownwood, Texas. In Fort Worth, Texas 33 years ago, he married Joyce Sinclair Montgomery. Family was very important to Jim, he enjoyed spending time with his sons, and grandchildren. If you knew Jim you knew he wore many hats, from insurance sales, to bail bonds, running a carnival, hauling hay, anything cowboy, or whatever he saw fit that needed done. He was a son, father, brother, uncle, grandfather and great grandfather all of which he took very serious.

Jim was preceded in death by his parents, Emmett and Flosie Alexander; son, Jimmy Alexander; sister, Gloria Blackstock and brother JT Alexander.

Those left behind to cherish his memory are his wife Joyce Alexander; sons; Kevin Alexander and wife Clover of Crafton, Thomas Alexander of Las Vegas, NV, Ricky Montgomery and wife Michelle of Azle, David Montgomery and wife Jenny of Boyd, Ronnie Shelby and wife Shemane of Paradise; grandchildren, Bailee Verdin and husband Jacobi, Bethany Hurd and husband Cameron, Brandon Alexander, Jason Montgomery, Michael Montgomery, Michelle Bayer and husband Lucas, Randy Montgomery, Elyssya Montgomery, Kristian Gibson and husband Chris, and Cody Tedrow; 8 great grand-children, numerous extended family members and a host of friends.

In the bail world, Jim Alexander was a bondsman for over thirty years.  When Jim and Joyce were married they were running a restaurant business.  When it burned to the gound, they saw that as an opportunity to do something new.  Jim suggested that they try writing bail bonds.

Jim and Joyce had a thirst for adventure and this continued even into their new career writing bail.  Jim continued to seek out new challenges.  Jim and Joyce also took their sense of adventure on the road with dozens of RV trips across the country. 

Jim developed life long ties to clients and bailed out the children and grandchildren of those early clients they helped get back on track when they first started in the business.  

Jim retired from writing bail in 2021.  Jim will be missed greatly.

Harris County District Court Judge Stopped For Multiple Traffic Violations Including Driving On The Wrong Side of The Road

Image
  Before Harris County District Court Judge Kelli Johnson took at least a month off from work for personal matters following a crisis intervention call at her house, she was pulled over for multiple traffic violations and then volunteered to do a field sobriety test. ABC13 obtained a body-worn camera video of the encounter through an open records request. The Harris County Sheriff's Office explained that most of the video is black due to an "obstruction," but the audio is clear. Sgt. Colin McHugh made the initial stop. Johnson: "I'm a judge." McHugh: "You're a judge?" Johnson: "A criminal district judge. Yes." The stop happened at about 8 p.m. on April 12, three days before Johnson found Brian Coulter guilty of murdering his girlfriend's son, whose body was left to rot for a year. She mentioned the case twice during the 45-minute-long encounter and asked a second deputy, who arrived, to give her the Standard Field Sobriety Test (S

New Election Ordered for 180th District Court in Harris County

  A judge ordered Harris County to hold a new election for the 180th District Court judge after Republican candidate Tami Pierce, who narrowly lost to Democratic Judge DaSean Jones, filed a lawsuit challenging the results. Jones won by a margin of 449 votes in 2022. Judge David Peeples, a visiting judge from Bexar County, issued the order Wednesday. * * *  In the findings of fact and conclusions of law, Peeples said 983 votes cast in the 2022 race were determined to be invalid because voters lived outside Harris County or had other residency-related issues. Additionally, 445 voters did not show a valid form of photo identification and 48 mail ballots lacked required signatures or were not received before the deadline. More than a year after Pierce filed the election contest, the court ordered Jones to pay Pierce more than $65,000 in attorney fees, which Peeples said was reasonable given Jones’ motion to dismiss the case. “This court held that Jones’s motion to dismiss was without merit
