Ellis County Observer publisher Joey Dauben is banned by courts in two Texas counties from sharing his thoughts on the Internet so he published and began distributing a 20-page newspaper today. "The Ellis County Observer publisher is banned from the Internet, the State seized EllisCountyObserver.com, but Freedom of the Press won't be silenced," said Dauben in a telephone text message interview. Dauben, who faces charges in Ellis County of fraudulent use of identifying information in connection with an Internet report he published last year and alleged sexual assault of a 15-year-old male teenager in Navarro County four years ago, is not allowed to use the Internet as a condition of his release on $50,000 bond pending trial in Navarro County. Dauben said he arranged for a 750-copy run of the newspaper, and that it will be distributed in Ellis County in the coming days. As additional conditions of his release on bond, he is confined to Ellis and Navarro Counties. The Navarro County District Attorney R. Lowell Thompson brought Dauben before District Judge Lagomarsino last month in attempt to ban Dauben and his attorney from speaking to the media. The judge later ruled against the gag order. Dauben, whose next court appearance in the Navarro County case is scheduled for June 18, said he wanted to "give the entire world something to talk about" by publishing the latest edition of the newspaper. "The newspaper is 20 pages of material a whole lot of people in many government agencies didn't want exposed," Dauben said. Dauben said he did not use the Internet in any way in the writing and publication of the newspaper to ensure that he did not violate the terms of his bail conditions. Much of the newspaper was written by hand when he was being held in the Navarro County Jail for two months after the court failed to provide him with a court-appointed attorney after he declared he was indigent, he said. The publisher said he believes law enforcement officers are looking for any opportunity to silence him by getting his bail revoked or to get him convicted. Dauben said he plans to send copies of the newspapers to all Dallas media outlets, even though despite the First Amendment issues he has raised they have mostly ignored his case. The absence of recent coverage by Dallas media outlets about his website being seized and a gag order hearing being held follows widespread coverage of his arrest in December. Several Dallas media outlets also featured Dauben in stories last year about his Ellis County Observer operation and unsuccessful campaign for mayor of Palmer last year. Dauben said he expects the coverage in the newspaper to irk Ellis County District Attorney Patrick Wilson because of a story about a bar grievance being filed against him. Other stories include an analysis of the GOP Primary Election, a Cedar Creek Lake mother's legal battles with Montgomery County in a custody case, a story on Amber Hagerman's death and a possible suspect in her disappearance and murder and a child pornography raid in Ellis County. Dauben said he hopes the next issue he is able to publish of the newspaper will be a prison ministry edition.
