The Year 2007 - The Salters were on their best behavior. When they drove past our house, they held the wheel tightly, drove slowly, and stared straight out. I was lulled into a false sense of security. I love the walks, the stories, and the shear beauty of the creek. I didn’t want to give up the paradise it took us 10 years to locate and buy. My husband paid a severe price for my wanting to stay there when Salter shot him. I wish I could take it back and be more paranoid and make different decisions. I sadly cannot.

In August Randy sold his property (Tracts 1-3) and moved to Galveston as far away from the Salters as he could get without falling into the Gulf of Mexico. A deaf man bought the house. The Salter all night parties of cooking, shooting, and arguing would not bother him.

I searched for an attorney to defend us against the Salter lawsuit. Attorneys agreed it was a lawsuit intended to get someone targeted as rich and was as frivolous as the day is long. The catch was it takes $25,000 to defend against such lawsuits. We spent our money getting bogus criminal charges against Robert dropped. Now they want that much money again to get rid of a bogus lawsuit. Lawyers are very expensive people. I am learning to understand their sleazy and barely ethical maneuvers.

We decided to file bankruptcy to get rid of the lawsuit. A bankruptcy cost $2500 versus defending the lawsuit at $25,000. We had to use small bills, like a water bill for $40, to have enough creditors to meet the requirements. We didn’t owe credit card debt. I was making payments to our chosen attorney and was only a few days and one payment away from filing the bankruptcy when Salter’s attorney called me. Hall asked me when I was going to answer his demand for all my financial records back to January 1, 2000. I told him I needed thirty more days. He said that was not good enough. Hall was going to the court to ask it to compel me to produce the documents. I called my attorney and was informed that Hall made a “demand call” to me and he now had to wait 10 days before filing a motion with the court to request a hearing. Since I was making my final payment the next day, we would have the bankruptcy filed before he could get a hearing and the whole threat would be pointless. Law enforcement and officers of the court in Parker County do not care what the law actually says. They do what they want to do. Attorney Hall had a hearing scheduled the very next day after his phone call to me for only one week away. Hey! What happened to the law that said he had to wait ten days and all that jazz? I told my attorney they didn’t follow the law, and he should expect foul play. He admonished me, but I was right about their lack of following the law. I was getting smarter and better at knowing how this corruption worked. I was becoming the “Great Karnac”. I could predict the future with amazing accuracy. I will have more predictions come true in the future.
