An ex-convict has been granted 31 felony bonds by criminal district courts in Texas, allowing the repeat offender to stay out of jail.
The plethora of felony bonds totaling a staggering $1.16 million have been granted to 24-year-old Joshua Gabriel Ortiz-Lopez since 2019 on charges including organized criminal activity, arson, retaliation, and possession of body armor by a convicted felon.
Here’s a Facebook post of alleged crimes he committed in 2018:
Speaking to Fox 26 Houston, Crime Stoppers Director of Victim Services and Advocacy Andy Kahan blasted the Harris County judicial system for continually allowing the recidivist to escape justice.
“I’ve never seen someone who’s out on a total of 31 felony bonds,” Kahan told Fox, adding, “If public safety is your primary goal to keep the public safe from an offender like him, it’s not happening.”
“I’ve seen his bond revoked on one case four times on another case four times,” said Kahan. “They keep reinstating it, and he keeps getting back out. He keeps reoffending and they keep putting him back out.”
“I dare anyone out there who’s watching this, if you think you can top 31 felony bonds, call me, you contact us,” he added.
Fox 26 reports Ortiz-Lopez is far from reformed, and “has racked up seven new felony charges and was convicted of felony theft in [nearby] Montgomery County.”
Reporters went to the address listed on Ortiz-Lopez’s bonds, and “A woman there told us, he no longer lives there.”
According to Fox Houston, the judge who signed off on the bonds, Amy Martin, “lost the 263rd bench in last year’s primary election.”
The outrageous felony bond program is evidently a feature, not a flaw of the progressive bail reform system being instituted by far-left Democrat judges and district attorneys in blue cities nationwide which allows criminals accused of so-called low-level minor offenses to be released on bail.
The danger to the public is those released sometimes go on to re-offend or commit other violent crimes.
The Texan.news reports:
An increasing number of high-profile crimes have been associated with suspects out on bail, and Crime Stoppers of Houston victim’s advocate Andy Kahan reports that there have been at least 182 victims allegedly murdered by suspects out on multiple felony or personal recognizance (PR) bonds since 2018.

At a National Day of Remembrance event for murder victims in September, Crime Stoppers of Houston said they could no longer read aloud the victims’ names from the previous year because the list had become too long. Family members at the event often shouted “vote them out” in regard to criminal court judges who were releasing violent suspects on bond.
Many victims’ family members have joined forces with new political action committee (PAC) Stop Houston Murders in support of Republican candidates for judicial offices in the county. The group has raised $2.4 million since last summer and has placed both television and radio ads.
Among those appearing in advertisements for Stop Houston Murders PAC is the sister of 71-year-old Martha Medina, who was allegedly murdered by a suspect released on bond for capital murder by Democratic Judge Hilary Unger. Unger faces an electoral challenge from former chief felony prosecutor Julian Ramirez.
Maybe 2023 will be the year more people wake up to the clown world justice system policies.
