Democrat Dallas Judge Sanctioned for Misconduct, Where’s the Accountability Now?

Amber Givens violated defendants’ rights and abused her power. So why is she still on the bench? Dallas County District Judge Amber Givens a Democrat, was just hit with two public sanctions for violating defendants’ constitutional rights and abusing her authority. In one case, she jailed someone for six days despite being legally recused. In another, she let her coordinator conduct a hearing without informing the attorneys. More than 100 recusal motions have been filed against her, and now the state confirms what many already knew: this judge has no business being on the bench.
If a police officer had pulled something like this, the outrage would be immediate. But because it’s a judge, City Hall stays silent. This is the same double standard we’ve seen over and over, where cops get dragged for doing their jobs, while elected officials in robes face no real consequences for not doing theirs.
This isn’t an isolated incident. We’ve seen it with DA Creuzot letting violent offenders walk. We’ve seen it with low bonds, slow crime labs, and criminals – who should be in jail – let loose to commit more crimes. And now we’re seeing it from the judiciary itself – the very people who are supposed to uphold the law – acting like it doesn’t apply to them.

Seem unfair to you? Let your City Council member know. Public trust in the system depends on real accountability, not just for police officers, but for judges, too. Staying quiet about this isn’t leadership. It’s complicity.

District 6
Councilwoman Laura Cadena
"Underpass Tent Party"
Tents, chairs, clotheslines, looks less like an emergency and more like a lifestyle. This isn’t a housing crisis, it’s a policy crisis. Councilmember Laura Cadena, how long do your constituents have to drive past this before you take action?

District 2
Councilman Jesse Moreno
"Fenced Off, Moved in"
Right off Malcolm X Blvd, a city-owned underpass has become a fully settled encampment. The gate is open, the tents are lined up, and downtown traffic rolls by like nothing’s wrong. Councilmember Jesse Moreno, how much longer is it supposed to stay like this?

Mission Statement:
Keep Dallas Safe exists to address crime and homelessness in Dallas with the goal of transforming Dallas into the safest large city in Texas for residents and businesses. We aim to have a City Council that prioritizes crime rate which directly determines the quality of life in Dallas. We do this by fighting against the "defund the police" movement, holding accountable our city leaders' efforts towards lowering district crime rates, and highlighting our city's homelessness problems by pushing for enforcement of the prohibition of urban camping.
