The latest updates on William-Paul Thomas and his corruption case at City Hall.
– William-Paul Thomas, the former City of Houston City Council Relations Director who was Federally convicted in the summer of 2022, was back in federal court on Friday.
Minutes into the hearing, the issue of finances and ability to pay for representation took center stage. The judge had Thomas meet with a court official in order to provide a financial disclosure form. It only took a matter of minutes to complete and less than an hour later, Thomas walked out of court with his same attorney - Monique Sparks - only now she is officially classified as his federal public defender.
After his appearance KPRC 2 Investigates caught up with Thomas as he walked to his convertible Porsche sports car. Aware of what just took place in the courtroom we asked Thomas about taxpayers picking up his legal tab even though he was driving a convertible Porsche as well as his message for Houstonians, “I have a legal right. That is my constitutional right Mario and I can drive whatever car I choose to drive,” said Thomas.
