In September 2009, on the theory that as executor of his mother’s estate Jerry Byrom refused to pay two overdue invoices to an accountant and lawyer who each incurred charges for her guardianship, the 71-year-old Mr. Byrom was locked in the Cherokee County, Texas jail for civil contempt.
Tyler criminal defense attorney James W. Volberding filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus in the Tyler Court of Appeals asking for Mr. Byrom’s immediate release and briefing the case. Time passed and the court would not make a decision.
Mr. Volberding then wrote the Chief Justice. After the Chief Justice failed to respond, Mr. Volberding filed a motion to put the case on the accelerated docket, which the court granted, though it still took no action. He then filed two more motions asking for a decision, which the court denied.

Four months after a 60-year-old man, Curtis Cook, was placed on felony probation in Henderson County, Texas for sexually assaulting a young girl, state prosecutors sought to revoke his probation, alleging that he committed minor sex offender registration violations.
The District Court revoked his probation and sentenced him to 30 years in prison, effectively a life sentence.
On January 4, 2010, Tyler criminal defense attorney James W. Volberding filed a 50-page brief in the Tyler Court of Appeals asserting that the court revoked Mr. Cook’s probation based on inadmissible information, some of which the court received outside the trial process.
Mr. Volberding’s brief challenges the court’s revocation of Mr. Cook’s probation and seeks to have his client placed back on probation. The appeal is currently pending. |
