Texas judge scolds 'World's Best Farter' in court

Sammy Morris appeared before Judge Raquel West in Texas' 252nd District Court last week wearing a shirt that read 'World's Best Farter.'
West scolded Morris for wearing inappropriate attire to his felony court appearance and for not hiring an attorney as required.
Morris explained he wore the shirt because it was the only one he could find and said he had unsuccessfully tried calling three lawyers to represent him.
The judge informed Morris that if he showed up again without legal representation, his bail could be canceled and he might be returned to custody, then postponed the hearing by 30 days to give him time to secure a lawyer.
The incident, captured on court video now viral, highlights Texas court expectations for proper attire and legal representation in felony cases.
