When Billy Fittge was 17 years old
he was involved in a car accident.
Doctors predicted he had a 10 per
cent chance of living. Even if he did
live, the doctors said he would have
extensive brain damage.
That was three years ago. After
extensive reconstructive surgery,
Fittge is a sophomore computer sci
ence major at Houston Community
College. He is blind.
His mother, Jessie Munoz, and his
stepfather, Manuel Munoz, were re
tired at the time of the accident. To
day, to help cover medical expenses
and put their son through school,
they run a traveling Mexican dress
stand.
“We’re from Splendora,” Mrs.
Munoz said. “We like the idea of
traveling from town to town to sell
dresses because it allows us to pack-
up and go at a moment’s notice. We
have to go to Houston a lot to take
Billy to the doctor. We don’t have to
check with the boss before we go.”
Medical insurance paid for 75
percent of the surgery and Medicaid
pays $200 per month for expenses.
Mrs. Munoz said she and her hus
band send Billy whatever they can to
help pay for school and other ex
penses.
“We’ve always managed to get
by,” she said.
The accident occurred when Billy
hit a stalled car.
“The driver (of the other car) and
four other passengers were all
drunk,” Mrs. Munoz said. “They
stalled on Highway 6 at 10:45 p.m.
They had turned off their head-
Jessie Munoz (left) displays
lights and were just sitting inside the
f<
car. It was very foggy
Fittge slammed into the other car
from behind and the impact caused
all of his facial bones to be crushed.
He was in the Intensive Care Unit
at Ben Taub Hospital in Houston
for 16 days. After his condition sta
bilized, neurosurgeons did explora
tory surgery to determine the extent
of brain damage.
Billy w ill h ave one more operatic
in December to reconstruct
bridge of his nose. Mrs. Munoza
after he recovers, she and her hi
band will move to Louisiana to
tire.
“It’s a miracle the people in the
other car weren’t hurt,” she said.
“It’s a miracle Billy lived at all.”
He then went into surgery for 24
hours to reconstruct his entire face.
He isn’t expected to see again.
“We want to fish and garden an
set up our dress stand tohelpuli
care of my mom,” she said.

ANGLETON — Bloodhounds
and mounted officers Sunday tra
cked down three illegal aliens hiding
in tall weeds hours after they alleg
edly shot a deputy in the back, offi
cers said.
Deputy Avery Allen Goble, 25,
was also shot in the side after stop
ping a vehicle with three Hispanic
males, said Brazoria County Sgt.
Harry Stiles. Goble was in stable con
dition at Hermann Hospital in
Houston.

“Investigating officers decided
they should be arrested because of
their intoxication. The officer
reached inside the patrol unit for an
extra set of handcuffs, and his atten
tion was diverted from the suspects
momentarily. At that time, the sus
pects opened fire,” Stiles said.
Goble was wounded three or four
times, Stiles said, and Deputy David
Wallace, who was with Goble, re
turned lire, but the suspects were
not wounded and fled on foot, Stiles
said.
Officers then turned loose search
dogs from two nearby state prisons
and rounded together officers on
horseback. The suspects were found
hiding in tall weeds and grass about
five miles from the site where Gobel
was wounded, Stiles said.
Stiles identified the suspects as
Rogelio Moreno-Rosas, 26; Santiago
Brajas-Madrigal, 17; Martin Por-
tales-Duena 18.
