Updated 2 hours ago
FORT BEND COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) -- Fort Bend County Interim Judge Daniel Wong is no longer legally the county judge, according to Commissioner Dexter McCoy.

Wong was appointed to the role after Judge KP George was suspended over a civil lawsuit alleging First Amendment violations.

ABC13 has learned that the woman who filed the lawsuit has now chosen not to move forward, effectively ending Wong's appointment as interim county judge.

Not to mention, Wong is also the Republican nominee for the role and will be on the ballot in November.

On Thursday, there is a commissioner's meeting, where a new county judge could be installed.
