Last summer, I wondered whether the DA’s office was going to go after Al Hill III for the shenanigans he pulled with his house. I’d been told at the time that folks from the DA’s office had interviewed family members about the matter. Well, now I need wonder no more. The couple was indicted (sub. req.) on multiple felony counts of mortgage fraud. Honestly, that’s the least of his troubles. A good lawyer and a lot of money could make this whole thing go away. But for whatever reason, III is appealing the settlement he reached with his father, Al Hill Jr., over what portion of the family trust was owed to him. Oh, and he doesn’t have a lawyer. All signs point to broke.

I wonder if prison orange will help you win the NM best dressed list?
@helpful reader.. she’s already been on the Best dressed list and that’s a bit of a low blow.. being indicted is not being convicted.
Please Please Please let John Wiley Price be next.
Please.
Love how the DMN buried this on page 6 of the Metro section.
Ironically, here is the answer to my own question from above. http://bit.ly/h7esV5
Keep your blinders on Yvonne……. It’s not just the poor folks who took advantage of the loose lending in recent years. These are the real crooks who really screw it up for everyone. Good one “Helpful Reader.”
@tigerblood.. no blinders but i learned a long time ago .. save the stength for the worst. they have young children… very sad.
Why is it we are supposed to have so much sympathy for the socially prominent and rich (Hills, Sheets, etc.), especially if they’ve been busy procreating?
If you do something wrong, you deserve whatever punishment is due – no matter how well you are dressed.
Maybe Erin can trade in the moniker of “Socialite” for “Employed”. Perhaps a gig working the counter at Chick-Fil-A (that way she can have Sundays with the family).
What bank makes $200K mortgage loans and doesn’t even bother to check the title ? “Well, if you say you own it, that’s good enough for me !! Sign right here !!” This is not to say they are excused, but anyone else think this lender was not following standard procedures ?
If Erin is convicted, does Tavia Hunt get to be 1st runner up?

Is there any update to this article?
The update is…..Al 111 and his family left dallas…thank goodness their children will not grow up around those haters that should get a regular job on housewives of….. Because they are desperate for a life. Jelousy is so unbecoming
Man….after reading these comments, I am sure glad I do not live in Dallas. You all do need to start a “Housewives of Dallas”…many of you fit the criteria of that show….jealous, mean spirited with all claws out. Do ANY of you know this couple? or just bored with your lives and have nothing better to do than to tear people apart you do not know on a blog? This couple was smart to leave Dallas and the vultures in their lives……All they needed was prayer…..did anyone here follow suit?
