LUBBOCK — A West Texas county commissioner with aspirations for higher office was ejected from his seat this week, after the county judge accused the commissioner of violating the Texas Constitution — the latest twist in a yearslong feud between the two Republicans.
Judge Curtis Parrish, Lubbock County’s top elected official, removed Commissioner Jason Corley from his seat on Monday because Corley announced he was running for Congress outside of a window framed in the state constitution that would have allowed Corley to keep his seat.
Corley said he was escorted from the county courthouse with a security detail. He is suing to be reinstated.
