## Government-by-Government Assessments: Gabon

During the review period, the government published its end-of-year report online within a reasonable period.  It did not make its executive budget proposal or enacted budget publicly available within a reasonable period.  Information on debt obligations, excluding state-owned enterprise debt, was publicly available and updated within a reasonable period.  Publicly available budget documents provided a substantially complete picture of the government’s planned expenditures and revenues, but they were not considered reliable.  As the enacted budget was not published, it was unclear whether it reasonably corresponded to actual revenues and expenditures.  However, the government revised its budget estimates in quarterly budget reports.  The supreme audit institution met international standards of independence.  It reviewed the government’s accounts but did not make its reports publicly available.  The government did not fully specify in law or regulation the criteria and procedures for awarding natural resource extraction contracts and licenses and did not consistently follow them in practice.  Basic information on natural resource extraction awards was not publicly available.  The sovereign wealth fund did not have a sound legal framework or disclose its source of funding or general approach to withdrawals.

Gabon’s fiscal transparency would be improved by:

- Making the executive budget proposal and enacted budget publicly available within a reasonable period;
- Publishing information on state-owned enterprise debt within a reasonable period;
- Making audit reports publicly available within a reasonable period;
- Clarifying in law or regulation the process by which the government awards contracts or licenses for natural resource extraction,
- Following such laws and regulations in practice;
- Making basic information for natural resource extraction awards publicly available; and
- Establishing the sovereign wealth fund’s sound legal framework and disclosing its source of funding and general approach to withdrawals.

The client and a co-defendant were arrested with about 42 pounds of cocaine in their

possession. The co-defendant was charged with possession and also with possession with intent to

deliver a Penalty Group 1 controlled substance. The total amount of the co-defendant’s bond on

these charges was $100,000 (having been reduced from $1,000,000). The co-defendant made this

bond through a bail-bond company. The client and the co-defendant failed to appear for their trials.

 

 

 

IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NO. PD-513-09

ROSS A. RODRIGUEZ, ATTORNEY AT LAW, SURETY, Appellant

v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS

ON APPELLANT’S PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW

FROM THE FOURTH COURT OF APPEALS

BEXAR COUNTY

HERVEY, J., delivered the opinion for a unanimous Court.

O P I N I O N

Appellant executed a $100,000 bail bond (having been reduced from $1,000,000) for a client

who had been charged with possession of more than 400 grams of a Penalty Group 1 controlled

substance (cocaine). The punishment range for this possession offense is 10 to 99 years, or life, in 1
Rodriguez--2

prison and a fine not to exceed $100,000. See Section 481.115(f), TEX. HEALTH & SAFETY CODE.

The client was later indicted in a two-count indictment for possession and also for possession with

intent to deliver more than 400 grams of the same Penalty Group 1 controlled substance. The

punishment range for the possession-with-intent-to deliver offense is 15 to 99 years, or life, in prison

and a fine not to exceed $250,000. See Section 481.115(f), TEX. HEALTH & SAFETY CODE. The

client failed to appear for trial on this indictment and appellant and the client, jointly and severally,

were ordered to pay the full amount of the $100,000 bond. The court of appeals rejected appellant’s

claim that he was not liable on the bond because “the State, by increasing the charges [to include a

possession-with-intent-to-deliver count], unilaterally and without his consent increased his risk” that

the client would not appear for trial. See Rodriguez v. State, 283 S.W.3d 465, 470-71 (Tex.App.–San

Antonio 2009). The ground upon which we granted discretionary review states:

Whether a bail bond surety is liable after executing a bail bond when the State of

Texas subsequently changes and adds more serious charges to the charge for which

the surety executed the bail bond.

Having examined the record and briefs and considered the arguments in this case, we

conclude that our decision to grant review was improvident. We therefore dismiss the appellant’s

petition for discretionary review as improvidently granted.

                       AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO OPTION AGREEMENT


     This Amendment No. 1 to Option Agreement, dated as of October __, 1996, is
entered into by and between Decora Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Optionor"), and Gabriel Thomas ("Optionee").

                                    RECITALS

     A. Optionee has performed numerous valuable services for Optionor over the
past several years, including serving as a director and assisting in identifying
investors in the Corporation.

     B. Optionor has, as compensation for such services, issued to Optionee, an
option to purchase 262,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of
$1.12 per share (the "Option"), pursuant to the terms of an Option Agreement by
and between Optionor and Optionee, dated as of January 7, 1992 (the "Option
Agreement'), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated by
reference.

     C. The Option is set to expire on December 30, 1996, and both parties
believe it is in their respective best interests to amend the Option Agreement
to extend the expiration date of the Option.

     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     Amendment of Expiration Date. Section 2.A of the Option Agreement is hereby
amended to read as follows:

         "A. From December 30, 1991, and up until and including December 30,
         1999, Optionee shall have the right and option to purchase, at $1.12
         per share, and Optionor shall have the obligation to issue to Optionee,
         262,000 shares of the authorized but unissued common shares of
         Optionor."

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment No. 1 to
Option Agreement as of the date first written above.
