Guest guest Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Today's Date - November 3, 2007 Contact Information - Texans for Patients' and Physicians' Rights (www.txppr.org) For Release - November 3, 2007 Stacey Bandfield - (o) 281.698.8679, F. Hotze, M.D - (m) - 832.858.1250 News Release On Friday, November 2, 2007, Dr. Hotze, founder of Texans for Patients' and Physicians' Rights, and his attorneys, Terry Scarborough, of the Austin law firm, Hance Scarborough, and Wayne Meissner, of the Austin law firm Fitzgerald Meissner, met with Gregg , Director of Public Integrity Unit of County Attorney Ronnie Earle, and Langan, Lieutenant Investigator for the Public Integrity Unit. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the abuse of power by a Kalafut, Texas Medical Board (TMB) president, and Don , TMB executive director, and to file a formal complaint against both these individuals with the County District Attorney, Ronnie Earle. Dr. Hotze charged that Kalafut has had her husband, Dr. Ed Brandecker, file anonymous complaints against their competitors in Abilene and worked the Board to ensure that their competitors are disciplined. The purpose of her actions has been to destroy her medical competition. This appears to clearly violate Section 39.03 of the Texas Penal Code relating to abuse of power as well as the federal anti-racketeering RICO Act. Attorneys and Langan enthusiastically received the information which was provided them and gave assurances of their plans to vigorously investigate the charges. They were particularly interested in the fact that Dr. Hotze had been approached by representatives from both the TMB and the governor's office who had requested a truce and promised specific remedies provided that Dr. Hotze would not publish the information which he has compiled on Kalafut, and other TMB members and would not meet with the Ronnie Earle's office or with Federal Prosecutor ny Sutton's office. The attorneys viewed this as an effort by government officials to cover up misconduct. They informed Dr. Hotze that they would be seeking subpoenas for information from the TMB and would be interviewing the long list of physician and attorneys, who are aware of the Kalafut's and 's abuse of power, with which they were provided by Dr. Hotze.
