Wong Stays Interim Judge Despite Pushback

Fort Bend County’s interim County Judge Daniel Wong is staying put despite mounting pressure — including from Commissioner Dexter McCoy, who’s running for the job himself. McCoy claims Wong isn’t legally qualified, especially after the woman who sued him dropped her case. But legal experts say the court’s ruling appointing Wong remains final, and his authority doesn’t vanish just because the original lawsuit ended. Even the county attorney weighed in, but legal analysts agree: Wong’s interim role holds until a new judge is officially chosen — likely until January.
