In the lawsuit, Pappas states there was inappropriate contact by the mayor’s office during what was a designated “no contact period” in the bidding process.
The Pappas family pointed to a voicemail allegedly left by William-Paul Thomas in November of 2019 to Chris Pappas saying, “Oh, Mr. Pappas, this is William-Paul Thomas, Mayor Sylvester Turner’s Office. I wanted to visit with you regarding the upcoming airport concession at Hobby Airport. I had a great meeting with a couple of folks and I’m going to share with you some of the thoughts that we had going forward. Please give me a call at your convenience,” the lawsuit states.
“Anyone cooperating with the federal government who is being interviewed, including by the FBI in particular, has an obligation to disclose any and all information they may have about any suspicious or criminal conduct,” said Wynne. “There is no exception.” KPRC 2 Investigates did reach out to the mayor’s office and Thomas’s criminal defense attorney regarding the claims made involving Thomas, but neither party did get back to us.
Both sides are expected back in court on Thursday morning for a hearing focused on a Temporary Restraining Order on the new contract.
