Ask Harris County DA - Investigate Judge Lillian Alexander for government record tampering
The Issue
We ask the Harris County District Attorney's Office to investigate Judge Lillian Alexander for knowingly entering false information into a government record. Under Texas Penal Code § 37.10, court records are government records, and tampering with them is a crime. The statute contains no exception for judges. Section 39.03 reaches the other side of the same conduct: official oppression, committed when a public servant acting under color of office intentionally denies or impedes another person's exercise of a right or privilege, knowing the conduct is unlawful. One statute protects the record. The other protects the person standing in front of it. And no government can claim that efficiency justifies conduct that would be unlawful if an ordinary citizen did it.
The facts come from the public record: the clerk's record, the docket sheet, and two reporters' records, all filed with the Fourteenth Court of Appeals. On April 14, 2025, in the 507th District Court of Harris County, Judge Lillian Alexander struck enforcement violations on the ground that a prior final order existed. No such final order was ever issued. The docket sheet is inconsistent with the clerk's record. The claims were dismissed in favor of the represented party. The parent who lost them appeared without counsel, and had already proven 26 violations of three other orders before a different judge, including two findings that the other parent failed in the duty to care for and protect the child (one for leaving the child unsupervised in a home containing unsecured illegal drugs and one where the child was attacked and bitten by a dog with a documented history of biting a child of similar age).
That parent raised the problem in open court. The October 1, 2025 transcript, taken by court reporter Selena Stone, records the following:
[PARENT]: In fact, in the previous hearing, what was imposed of me was reverse burden shifting, hypotheticals, and judgments on a judgment that was never issued.
THE COURT: And I'll allow you to take that up with the court of appeals. Okay? I will allow you to navigate whatever that means for them.
The court had multiple chances to hear the objections and fix the record. It declined — and sent the litigant to an appellate court that then dismissed on jurisdictional grounds without reaching the merits.
Judge Susan Brown recused Judge Natalia Cornelio after the State alleged she signed a warrant reciting a court appearance that never happened. That allegation was serious enough for a Special Court of Review; the State Commission on Judicial Conduct lists In re Cornelio, July 8, 2026. See https://www.scjc.texas.gov/media/elmdlhe3/scr-25-0003-cornelio-opinion-07-08-26.pdf When an uncounseled parent raised a substantially similar allegation — a court record reciting an event that never occurred — Judge Brown did not recuse Judge Lillian Alexander. The circumstances are not identical. They don't need to be. A government record must be truthful whether it is a warrant or a docket sheet, whether the judge is one or another, and whether the person harmed has a lawyer or not.
A parent does not walk into family court thinking about procedure. The person behind the bench decides where a child lives, who that child sees, and whether a parent keeps meaningful access. If a docket sheet can record an order that was never signed, the next question is unavoidable: what else can be entered? A warrant? A capias? Something that reaches a person's liberty?
This is not slander. The docket sheet says what it says. The transcripts say what they say. Uncomfortable records do not stop being records.
Learned Hand warned that liberty lies in the hearts of men and women — that no constitution, law, or court can do much to save it once it dies there. Accountability is how it stays alive.
Sign to demand a full investigation, and to insist on three things: that the record be true, that the law apply equally, and that no court operate above it.
