Attorney tells Freestone court he represents client alleging harassment by Constable Kenneth Sessions
Summary
In public comment, attorney David Moore alleged Constable Kenneth Sessions sent unsolicited explicit images and engaged in harassment at a July training; Moore said Sessions is charged in Limestone County and urged resignation or a petition for removal; court did not act on the allegation during the meeting.
During the public comment period, David Moore, a former law enforcement officer and attorney from Limestone County, told the Freestone County Commissioners Court he represents a client who alleges misconduct by Constable Kenneth Sessions.
Moore said Sessions “has allegedly engaged in repeated acts of ****** harassment,” including sending unsolicited explicit images to the client and being removed from a training session in Tyler, Texas, in July for harassment. Moore said Sessions is currently charged in Limestone County’s JP Court Precinct 4, with the Honorable Ray Jones presiding, and that he has copies of a redacted internal report and text messages between Sessions and the client.
Moore said he filed records requests and complaints with the state licensing body referenced in the hearing as TCO and with the Texas Workforce Commission regarding the alleged conduct. He told the court that, if Sessions will not voluntarily resign, county leaders could pursue a petition to remove him in district court through the administrative process.
No representative for Constable Sessions spoke or provided a response at the meeting, and the commissioners did not take any formal action on the allegation during public comment. Moore urged the court to consider the issue as a matter of public trust and safety.
The matter referenced by Moore includes pending criminal charges and agency investigations outside the court’s authority; the court’s stated rules for public comment also note it may not deliberate or act on items that are not posted on the agenda.
