Former judge Guy Williams found guilty of trespassing at Nueces County Courthouse in 2020

A former state district judge was found guilty of trespassing after an incident at the Nueces County Courthouse over a year ago.

Former state district judge Guy Williams (R) was arrested on suspicion of making terroristic threats and criminal trespassing. Guy Williams, former 148th District Court judge, was found guilty of trespassing by Judge Sid Harle, of Bexar County, on Jan. 4. The Harris County district attorney's office was asked to handle the case back in 2020.

In May 2020, Williams was arrested inside of the Nueces County Courthouse. Williams faced charges of making a terroristic threat to a public servant, a third-degree felony, and criminal trespassing, a Class B misdemeanor. No weapons were involved in the incident.

According to the Harris County District Attorney's Office, Williams represented himself and was found guilty in less than 15 minutes.

Williams was sentenced to three months of probation and the punishment was stayed pending Williams' appeal. If the punishment were to stay in place and Williams failed to complete his probation, he would face nine months in jail.
