AUSTIN (May 2, 2009)--The top judge on the state's Court of Criminal Appeals has revealed more than $2.4 million in previously undisclosed income and real estate holdings.
Presiding Judge Sharon Keller revealed the assets in an amended report on her personal finances filed this week with the Texas Ethics Commission in Austin.
The Dallas Morning News reported Saturday that Keller explained that she had omitted the assets from previous disclosures.
In a statement that was part of her new filing, Keller said that's because her father, Dallas landowner and hamburger restaurateur Jack Keller, hadn't told her of them.
The amended filing is aimed to correct previous filings that had drawn ethics and criminal complaints from the nonprofit liberal watchdog group Texans for Public Justice.
The group accused Keller of failure to disclose nearly 42 million in commercial and residential real estate holdings.
The Morning News had reported in late March that Keller hadn't complied with legal requirements that she disclose her ownership interest in seven residential and commercial properties in Dallas and Tarrant counties
