Does Money Equal Justice in Waller County?
Case Overview
What is judge trying to hide?
Here comes the Judge
Furthermore, why has Retired Judge Robert Kern (who lives outside of Waller County) been retained for this court case (and being paid by hardworking Waller taxpayers as a “visiting judge”) to preside over this husband’s private divorce case? Not only that, but Judge Kern has ordered that all of the public files on the case are HIDDEN. Waller County residents — tax-paying citizens — are paying for Judge Kern’s salary in addition to other Waller County judges because he was hired specifically for this case.
Why is Waller County keeping divorce cases a BIG secret?
We found a compelling video online that offers critical information to the divorce case. And according to public record, in a regular session meeting of Waller County Commissioners Court in 2023, held in Hempstead, TX, at the Waller County Courthouse, the transcription of the Notice reads:
COUNTY COURT AT LAW
- Discuss and take action to designate the Knights of Columbus Hall located at 22892 Mack Washington Lane, Hempstead, TX, 77445 as an alternate location to hold court proceedings within the city limits of Hempstead, TX.
- Discuss and take action for Waller County to accept donations from Jay Sears for the use and improvements of the Knights of Columbus Hall for the purpose of court proceedings.
News flash: Jay Sears is the husband divorcing his wife in Waller. He’s a member of an unofficial “Billionaires Boys Club” and a partner of NewQuest Properties. His co-founder and managing Partner of NewQuest , Steven D. Alvis, is the Co-Founder and Managing Partner of NewQuest – and we intend to watch Mr. Alvis’ divorce case closely when the time comes. (Note: Jay Sears — the husband — wants to donate money to the Waller County Court for the “use and improvements” of a new court location to use for his divorce proceedings. Waller court is currently held in a former Mexican restaurant.)
Watch the video of the actual meeting (start at 31:44 minutes) and you’ll see concerned looks before the Commissioners decide not to speak on video about the donation from Jay Sears, the Knights of Columbus location and benefit to the County Court.
Why does The Women’s Justice Network care?

Women's Justice Network Mission Statement
The Women’s Justice Network is dedicated to advocating for and securing equitable legal outcomes for women, particularly those who have been financially exploited or disadvantaged by powerful individuals within the justice system. We are committed to challenging manipulation of the law and ensuring that all women receive the justice and financial security they rightfully deserve, empowering them to live free from subjugation.
The Women’s Justice Network (WJN) would like to believe that justice in American towns is impartial and treats everyone equally. But a hard truth is coming out: sometimes, money and influence carry more weight than the facts. Judges often favor friends, old classmates, or powerful community figures. This can lead to cases moving too fast or too slow, or rulings clearly bending in one direction.
In divorces, this bias really hurts women. A judge who’s friendly with the husband or holds outdated ideas about a man’s financial role in a marriage, might side with the man instead of recusing himself from the case. Maybe that judge unfairly divides what a wife helped build over decades. And when vital court papers—like the ones in the Sears case here in Waller—are locked away, your ongoing legal battle can suddenly vanish from public view. Media can’t access docs or cover your case. Friends and family are unable to advocate for you. And suddenly, you’re deprived of getting your fair chance in court.
What’s next for Women’s Justice Network (WJN)?
We will follow up daily about the Jay Sears divorce case scheduled for court on July 28, 2025. Our Network will continue researching new court cases that subjugate women.
Next Court Challenge: We are also helping a woman who lives in Bryan, TX, who is struggling with an “ex-husband” who is punishing her by taking her children, refusing to let her speak or see her children, and manipulating the courts, mediators, and lawyers into believing false police reports about her. She isn’t alone anymore. The Women’s Justice Network has a plan of action to help her case.
