A showdown over masks in a Dallas County Commissioner’s Court meeting has led to a lawsuit and an effort to remove Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins.

County Commissioner J.J. Koch told CBS 11 he was blindsided by Judge Jenkins when Jenkins forced him to leave a Dallas County Commissioner’s Court meeting for not wearing a mask.

“I got to find out about it around 9:01 as I’m sitting there waiting for the invitation,” said Koch, County Commissioner for District 2.
