Liz Overstreet filed a wrongful termination complaint to the Texas Work Force Commission in February of this year. Additionally, she filed a complaint with the Texas Judicial Commission. Overstreet claims that she was sexually harassed by the Lubbock County Sheriff's Court Bailiff Leroy Morrison. More specifically, her claim centers around inappropriate hugging by Morrison. Overstreet further claims that as a result of the filings she was wrongfully terminated.

"Right now, I can't get into the specifics of the allegations, responses to the allegations and any support for either side, is covered under a confidentiality rules both by the state and judicial commission and TWC," says Shawn Twing, Judge Brad Underwood's Attorney.

Apparently, the day after she filed a complaint on Morrison, Judge Underwood accused her of sexually harassing him. They say timing is everything. It can take more than 6 months for the Texas Work Force Commission or Texas Judicial Commission to make a ruling.
