Clements chooses
Republican judge
for justice position
AUSTIN (AP) — Gov. Bill Clem
ents chose a 38-year-old Republican
state district judge Wednesday to be
the next chief justice of the Texas
Supreme Court.
Clements said Judge Thomas R.
Phillips, who was recommended by
resigning Democratic Chief Justice
John Hill, was his choice after re
viewing some 40 candidates.
“I consider this appointment to be
one of the most important that I will
ever make as governor,” Clements
said.
Phillips succeeds Hill, who is leav
ing the court in mid-term on Jan. 4
to campaign for changing the cur
rent system of elecdng Texas judges
to a system of appointing them.
Phillips, who becomes the first Re
publican in modern times to head
the state’s highest civil court, said he
Sheriff claims
he will deny
inmates space
CORPUS CHRISTI (AP) — Fed
eral prisoners here will face rides of
three hours or more to court from
other counties if Nueces County’s
sheriff follows through with his plan
to deny them space at his over
crowded jail, a U.S. marshal said.
Nueces County Sheriff James T.
Hickey told the Marshal’s Service
last week that, after Jan. 1, he will
not accept federal prisoners when
the population at the county jail and
a new annex exceeds 374.
Prisoners headed for court in
Corpus Christi would have to be
shuttled to and from the Rio Grande
Valley or Houston area, U.S.
Marshal B.S. Baker of Houston said.
The Marshal’s Service, which con
tracts with seven other South Texas
Counties for jail space, has no jail fa
cility closer to Corpus Christi’s fed
eral courthouse than the Nueces
County Jail.
Hickey cited growing pressure
from the Texas Department of Cor
rections, which is under federal
court orders to limit the number of
inmates admitted to state prisons.
'That, he said, has caused a backlog
of convicted state prisoners at the
countyjail.
The sheriff also cited a pending
federal lawsuit filed last year against
Nueces County officials by 71 in
mates, which seeks court interven
tion in the conditions at the jail.
Baker said he understands Hick
ey’s problems with the chronically
overcrowded j ail.
“He’s not in a good situation,”
Baker said.
Gov. Bill Clements said last week
he would hold a “corrections sum
mit” after Thanksgiving with TDC
officials and officials from some
counties to discuss problems stem
ming from prison overcrowding.
Counties have complained of the
expense of holding prisoners who
otherwise would be in state facilities
until the overcrowded TDC can ac
cept them.
expects to disagree at times with the
eight Democraticjustices.
Phillips said he wouldn’t comment
on any specific case, but he did say
this is a crucial time for Texas’ high
est civil court.
“I believe that our Supreme Court
is at a critical crossroads,” he said.
“This is a historic time to become a
member of this court. It is a time of
opportunity and of challenge to
make a positive impact, one that is
significant and long-term.”
Phillips will serve until the 1988
election. The winner of that election
will serve the remainder of Hill’s
term, which ends in 1990.
Saying he plans to seek election
next year, Phillips described raising
campaign funds as “one of the few
distasteful aspects of the job.”
