The Judicial climate in Texas is heavily influenced by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The lawyers recommended by the Bar Association would not take on the contract issue of the claim, even when the Defendant attorneys asked to negotiate a settlement in XX/XX/XXXX. They were all familiar with the XXXX XXXX Funds Foreclosure Litigations and their attorneys. Attorneys stated it was unfair that I have a home without paying for it when they had too. However, they would take the case if I filed Bankruptcy and paid {$3000.00} up front. The system is very corrupt even including the judges. When informing JXXXX XXXX at the XX/XX/XXXX, hearing, that there was not a copy of a contract between me and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX denied me due process under the law when he told me to shut up or he would have his bailiff throw me out of this Court.

This is not only fraud, but unchecked capitalism which leads to economic discrimination and massive homelessness. Agencies are not enforcing RESPA and FDCPA laws. Caliber and XXXX XXXX Funds can continue these bad actions due to the sanctions do not penalize them enough to correct the illegal activities.
