HAYS COUNTY – “You’re fired, you’re fired,” Chris Perez recalled Judge Millie Thompson yelling at him in her County Court at Law #3 (CCL) office. Almost everybody in the surrounding offices heard the yelling, but most people chose not to go on record because they are already under stress in what many claim is a hostile work environment.
