A Georgetown judge is off the bench after being indicted for allegedly selling firearms to a convicted felon, helping to smuggle firearms, and lying to law enforcement about gun sales, among other charges.
Williamson County Court-at-Law No. 2 Judge Tim Wright on April 14 pleaded not guilty.
The State Commission on Judicial Conduct on April 8 suspended Wright one day after federal prosecutors unveiled a nine-count indictment against him. If convicted, the judge could face up to 80 years in prison: 10 years on each of the seven counts related to firearms and up to five years in prison on each of the two counts of making false statements, according to a news release by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Texas.
