Dallas County DA Still Under FBI Investigation

Dallas County District Attorney, Craig Watkins came under an FBI investigation about two years back, though the scope and depth of the investigation is not known. However, court documents proved last week that the investigation is still on in the matter of the mortgage fraud prosecution of millionaire Al Hill III. Though the prosecution ended months ago, the FBI asked Hill's attorneys last month for documents related to the prosecution, according to filings in an unrelated lawsuit.

In a court filing George Milner, an attorney for Hill said, "The agents have requested that Mr. Hill III, through his counsel, provide the FBI with a number of categories of documents relevant to their investigation." The lawyers also said that the State Bar of Texas has asked them to provide documents as part of its investigation.


Hill's attorneys wrote, "The public has a compelling interest in both law enforcement and in the body charged with regulating attorneys having full and fair access to evidence of potential crimes and attorney misconduct."

In response, Watkins made a statement last week saying Hill and his attorney will be held accountable for what they are doing. He said, "This is just another tactic to divert attention away from the fact that an independent grand jury indicted Al Hill III for mortgage fraud."

Watkins further said that Hill's lawyers were being "unethical in their efforts to try to disparage me and the DA's office … Just because you are rich doesn't mean you can bypass the justice system."

In March, State District Judge Lena Levario dismissed charges against Hill while holding Watkins for contempt on the same day for refusing to testify. Levario wrote that Watkins' refusal to testify in the matter supported "the inference that defendant's [Hill] claims of misconduct are true."

Hill had been accused of taking a $500,000 loan using his residence as collateral, but it was later revealed that he owned only a percentage of the home while the remainder was owned by a trust created by his father. Hill repaid the loan.
