Harris County Constable Mark Herman’s Office is on the lookout for Jose Balderas, a local contractor accused of theft after allegedly failing to complete a construction project for which he had been paid. The case came to light when deputies were called to a residence in the 14200 block of Meadow Estates Lane on October 11 following a complaint by homeowners regarding the unfinished work. As reported by FOX26 Houston, Balderas was hired to perform outdoor work but supposedly absconded with the payment without finishing the job.
When attempts were made to quickly contact the suspect, Balderas allegedly responded by repeatedly calling Precinct 4 Dispatch in an erratic manner, being rude, abrasive, and causing disruption. According to Constable Mark Herman, Balderas is now facing charges of silent abuse communication in relation to the 911 calls, in addition to theft, as detailed on the official Facebook page of Mark Herman, Harris County Constable Precinct 4.
The exact amount of money that Balderas is accused of taking has not been disclosed by the authorities. However, the situation has prompted a public appeal for assistance in locating the accused contractor. Constable Herman's office is urging anyone with knowledge of Balderas’ whereabouts to get in touch by calling Precinct 4 dispatch at (281) 376-3472.
Moreover, the community has been encouraged to follow Constable Herman’s Precinct 4 updates on social media platforms and to download the "C4 NOW" mobile app. This app promises to provide live feeds of crimes, arrests, safety tips, traffic alerts, and road conditions to effectively keep the residents informed about local happenings.
