Does Fort Bend County have a judge? It depends on who you ask

FORT BEND COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) -- After fighting back claims that he is no longer the Fort Bend County interim judge, Daniel Wong took a seat in Thursday's commissioners court meeting.

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

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

Wong is the Republican nominee in November's election for the position.

Just minutes after Thursday's meeting was called to order, Commissioner Grady Prestage made a motion to remove Wong as county judge, but it failed 3-2.

Commissioner Prestage and McCoy then left the meeting.

"We're not running anywhere, we're going to sit here and fight it out," Prestage said shortly after leaving the meeting. "We're going to take whatever action is necessary to clear this up."
