FORT BEND COUNTY, Texas - A dispute over whether Daniel Wong can legally continue serving as Fort Bend County judge brought county business to a brief standstill Thursday after two commissioners walked out of a Commissioners Court meeting, leaving the court without enough members to proceed.

The standoff stems from an ongoing legal disagreement over Wong's authority following the removal of former Fort Bend County Judge KP George earlier this month when he was sentenced for his money-laundering conviction.

Before the walkout, Commissioner Dexter McCoy urged commissioners questioning Wong's authority to step aside temporarily so county business could continue.
