Recorded on December 5, 2013 at elected County Attorney Jim Nichols office while trying to legally request my guns back now that my case is over. There is no legal requirement that the County Prosecutors only speak through my attorney. What if I fired my attorney? What if he had died? What if I choose to represent myself in matters outside of the courtroom? This is a smokescreen and I can see through it. Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, Chapter 18, Section 18.19 states that I only need to request my guns within 61 days of disposition of my case. I am NOT required to have an attorney according to law to request my guns back. However, Jim Nichols has instructed his attorneys and investigators to force me to pay as much money as possible in attorney's fees to by refusing to accept my formal, legal request to have my firearms returned to me. Jim Nichols seems not to care about the law, especially when it comes to gun confiscations. He's racking up quite the history of anti-gun efforts in Bell County and it's about time someone stood up to him. Jim Nichols likes to ensure the public that the case against me had NOTHING to do with guns, yet won't even legally return my guns unless I pay an attorney to submit a piece of paper he could have easily gotten from me during this visit. For the record, Chief of Staff Darrell Guess, the second man in this video, is the same man that bent over backwards to have the damning dashcam footage released of my false arrest and illegal disarming. Now, he's refusing to accept a legal request according to Texas law by a citizen to have his guns returned to him. There is absolutely no reason why elected county attorney Jim Nichols would need to speak to an attorney about a case that is now in the past. Never mind the fact that I wasn't there to talk about my case, but just to demand a return of my guns according to Texas law. Again, that law does NOT require a defendant to use the services of an attorney to file the request. Also, elected attorney Jim Nichols knows that my attorney is out of Fort Worth. At a cost of $200 or so per hour, it would cost over $1400 to have my attorney present the request to prosecutors. After elected county attorney Jim Nichols' people refused to accept my legal request or a copy of the law I provided, I filed the demand with the County Clerk. It is now an official part of the court record that I filed it within the 61 day requirement. I post this video for my own protection because I don't trust the County Attorney's office not to lie about what I did or how I acted in their office. I wouldn't doubt if they attempted to sue me for just showing up. Probably charge me with criminal trespass or something.
