HISD wants jury trial in suit alleging bribery, wire fraud, money laundering in contract awards
The Houston Independent School District says it wants a jury trial as it faces a suit from a construction company that alleges a schools trustee and the district improperly awarded a contract to a competitor.
The Houston-based Gil Ramirez Group failed to prove any liability, according to Arturo Michel, a lawyer representing the district, in documents filed this week in the U.S. District Court of Judge Kenneth M. Hoyt.
