Harris County Civil Courthouse

To the Public While I was working at Saks Fifth Avenue, I became the victim of car theft and fraud. Two store credit cards were opened in my name without my knowledge. The thief who stole my car, Wyatt Brian Christopher, has had my vehicle for three years now. In small claims court, I won a $20,000 judgment, but in the higher court, everything changed. Judge Manpreet Monica referred to the thief simply as “Mr.” and treated him with more respect than she showed me. During the hearing, he even told the judge that I owed him $3,000 an accusation that is completely false. I never asked him to fix my car. My original request was simply to have my car towed from the private parking lot of Saks Fifth Avenue, where I was employed at the time. I believe the general manager and other managers of Saks Fifth Avenue were involved in the theft and fraud, and that the company’s influence may have been used to hide the truth. At one point, the judge asked me what I was requesting, and I explained that I wanted my $20,000 the judgment that the small claims court had awarded in my favor. She told me that “that court doesn’t exist here” and that the judgment “doesn’t exist anymore,” instructing me to ignore it and forget about it. When I asked if she had my evidence documents, she said she did not have them and that she didn’t need them. She focused only on what the thief was saying and disregarded everything I had submitted. The judge’s behavior was rude and unprofessional. When I asked whether she had received my evidence, she stated she had not and appeared to consider only the defendant’s evidence while completely ignoring mine. I was shocked by how dismissive and unfair this felt. I want the public to know what happened, and I am committed to pursuing justice through the legal system. During the hearing, after the judge ruled in favor of the defendant, I observed the defendant make an obscene gesture toward me by raising his middle finger on the courtroom camera. This behavior was disrespectful, threatening, and intimidating, yet no action was taken by the judge or courtroom staff to address it or maintain decorum. I believe this demonstrates a lack of proper oversight and courtroom management, which is part of the judge’s professional duty. I believe in the laws and justice system of this beautiful country, and that nobody is above the law. I will not give up until the truth is fully recognized and the thief, Wyatt Brian, and those protecting his actions because he does their dirty jobs held accountable. I will continue to stand for what is right, and I will not hide the truth of what happened to me until I get my rights back. Manny Kourradi Needlz Master Tailors

This is a courthouse located in downtown. My husband and I actually got our marriage license here. The staff here is very professional and they do take their work very seriously. The police officers, security guards, judges, and office employees work diligently to assist everyone. The entrance security check does feel like the airport, but it’s just to keep everyone safe. It’s a beautiful building. Metered parking is available for $2.25 per hour.
