## Resource

Two Democratic Fort Bend County commissioners walked out of a meeting, breaking quorum and halting county business, claiming interim Judge Daniel Wong’s temporary appointment ended when a lawsuit against the ousted judge was dismissed. Wong’s supporters and county officials insist he remains legally in office under Texas’ holdover provision to ensure government continuity. The walkout has paralyzed operations, with the dissenting commissioners now seeking legal action to formally challenge his authority, leaving the county in political and procedural limbo.
