A Midland official has taken steps to address allegations against Midland County Judge Terry Johnson by retaining a Houston attorney. The attorney will handle proceedings related to these allegations.

Details of the allegations are not fully specified, but they involve claims that Judge Johnson violated state law. An email sent to ABC Big 2 by Midland ISD trustee Brandon W. Hodges earlier in the week called for Judge Johnson's resignation in response to these allegations.

Further information on the allegations and the proceedings against Judge Johnson can be found through KMID/KPEJ.
