Text: In Judge Rose's third issue, he contends that the Texas constitution requires personal misconduct by the judge to support removal, rather than mere negligence in supervision of staff or lack of diligence. (Rose Br. at ix.) Judge Rose does not cite the Constitution or otherwise argue this issue under the Constitution. [31] ( See id. at 10-11.) Accordingly, Judge Rose waives his third issue. In any case, the Constitution expressly provides that a judge may be removed for willful or persistent violation of rules promulgated by the Supreme Court of Texas or willful violation of the Code of Judicial Conduct, and it is well-settled that a judge can violate the Code of Judicial Conduct promulgated by the Supreme Court as a result of the failure to supervise the judge's staff. Tex. Const. art. V, § 1-a(6)(A); see supra pp. 707-10. Judge Rose's third issue is overruled.
