Text messages have revealed a prior working relationship between prominent businessman Ali Choudhri and state District Judge Brittanye Morris, who is presiding over a case involving the Houston real estate developer, plaintiffs allege in court documents.
Investigative consultant Wayne Dolcefino first reported the possible conflict after Morris last week halted arbitration in the lawsuit, siding with Choudhri’s attorneys. The next day, the judge denied a motion to recuse herself from the case.
