Houston Police Officers' Union

This is not progress...Harris County deserves better.

Gang members in the Houston area have been targeting mothers as they drop their children off at daycare. They burglarize the victims' vehicles, steal their purses, run up fraudulent charges on their credit cards and steal their identities. Jarvis Hoskins is one of these predatory thieves and was recently charged with "Engaging in Organized Criminal Activity" after being found in possession of numerous victims' personal identifying information.

Because of Hoskins' extremely long criminal history and numerous prior prison trips, he is considered a "true habitual offender" and faces 25 years to life in prison for his pending first degree felony. Hoskins has a history of violating bond conditions and is a member of a violent criminal street gang. Hoskins was already on bond for second degree "Fraudulent Possession of Identifying Information" in Montgomery County and "Burglary of a Motor Vehicle" in Harris County at the time of his latest arrest. The Harris County felony bond schedule would put him at "No Bond" or (at a minimum) $30,000 bond. The HCDAO prosecutor on the case requested a denial of bail, but the Harris County judge set bail at $10,000.

For $1,000 this criminal can be back on the streets victimizing countless more citizens. Case is pending in the 208th.

----------

Edit: Jarvis Hoskins was convicted of the same "Fraudulent Possession of Identifying Information" charge in 2018 (in Bexar County) and sentenced to prison for two years. He is on parole until October 2019. This morning, Hoskins posted $10k bail in Harris County. His parole violation warrant was issued after his release. He is currently a wanted fugitive with an active felony parole violation warrant for his arrest. ... See MoreSee Less

I'm speechless, as I'm sure most law-abiding citizens are. What is left to say. BUT if we remain silent....the criminals win. This District Attorney and her staff of judges must be held accountable. Robbing women while they are dropping their kids off? We already know they let felons back out and they have murdered people. This last election should wake us up. This is what voting a straight ticket gets you.... We deserve better than this. Your voice MUST be heard at the polls.... I know I don't want my family and friends being the next victims of this office. Please raise your voices!!!!

That is ridiculous. There should be no bond for this crime. He should have to stay in jail until court and should be convicted of the crime and the punishment should meet the crime

Harris Co and Houston in general are in a downward spiral! I love my city and will defend it to the end; however, it’s becoming more and more difficult to do so with stats like this becoming the norm!

Vote for change or this will continue. This city is knowingly allowing this to happen. I have a question. Has this always been the case or is the media covering it more now that the citizens know the truth? I find it hard to believe the city had has less crime in the last few years. If we vote the DA out will it change? What CAN we do? Help

Are you freaking kidding me? If he tries to break into my car while I am dropping or picking up my granddaughter from school he is going to suffer from lead poisoning

Publish the judges name every time they let a violent criminal back on the streets with a low bond amount. Longing for the good old days when a turd like this would get a no bond.

Is there a way to identify the judge(s) in these cases so they can be singled out in social media?
