Garland Soccer Lawsuit Successful David Arciniega Ousted!
Garland Soccer Lawsuit Successful David Arciniega Ousted!
David Arciniega received 10 votes. Rachel Beltran took the president’s seat with 20 votes.
Treasurer, Sam Perry, withdrew his name from the ballot. Jesse Flores was voted in from the floor.
A newer member, Laura, successfully defeated Erick Quintana for the position of Publicity and Awards Director. Erick Quintana signed a No Confidence Petition against me because I supported a more qualified candidate opposing David Arciniega for president in 2013. I have filed complaints about this blatant harassment and election tampering that have yet to be heard. I expect Erick Quintana to be suspended from all soccer activities due to this. I passed out copies of the egregious petition filed against me and spoke out in support of free and fair elections going forward at the meeting.
The positions of Facility and Equipment Director and Special Events and Training Director went unfilled as Don Starkey had announced his departure at the beginning of the season, and Terry Walser withdrew his name from the ballot at the election.
Rosemary Martinez, who provided excellent customer service for years, has left. Gayle Brandt is also leaving.
The settlement announcement was shared with the coaches:
Announcement
Heather Dobrott and the Garland Soccer Association and David Arciniega announce that all matters in controversy between them in the lawsuit filed by Dobrott against the Association and Arciniega have been compromised and settled. No payment of damages was made to Dobrott as that was not the purpose of her lawsuit. Further, Dobrott did not receive full reimbursement of her attorneys’ fees incurred as part of the lawsuit. As part of the settlement, a contribution to the Garland Soccer Association Scholarship Fund will be made in Dobrott’s name. The parties have agreed in their settlement to confer and discuss the issues raised by Dobrott in the lawsuit and to work together toward a betterment of the Garland Soccer Association and the children it serves.
I have been in contact with USSF’s legal department and will file a national grievance against any administrators and/or NTSSA if the issues I have raised are not fully investigated, heard and handled as the by-laws dictate. I will continue to work tirelessly until there is transparency and full accountability in North Texas State Soccer.
It is imperative that all member associations do their due diligence on all prospective candidates for the North Texas State Soccer Association board and see that David Arciniega, Larry Hall and the others who have been wreaking havoc are voted out. It is high time NTSSA follow its own by-laws and handles grievances and appeals promptly instead of sweeping them under the rug.

Were these amounts paid from insurance as you insisted they would?

Re: Garland Soccer Lawsuit Successful David Arciniega Ousted!
David Arciniega and NTSSA had a courtesy copy of the suit in hand before I filed and Arciniega foolishly decided to fight me in court instead of working to solve the many serious financial issues, by-law violations and safety issues in Garland.
There is no confidentiality agreement as I refused to include that in the settlement. Everything is clearly spelled out in the announcement, so that all questions should be answered.
At the meeting last night longtime president, Butch Stokes, talked about how the numbers had plummeted from his high of 4500 to today's less than 2000.No payment of damages was made to Dobrott as that was not the purpose of her lawsuit. Further, Dobrott did not receive full reimbursement of her attorneys’ fees incurred as part of the lawsuit.

Re: Garland Soccer Lawsuit Successful David Arciniega Ousted!
I only agreed to settle with them because I did not want to take money from the program and they were willing to meet my terms. GSA's president, David Arciniega, was the one who apparently was so anxious to have a public fight. The insurance is in control as they are paying the bills. So, David Arciniega and Garland Soccer likely only had the option to go forward if they were willing to foot the bill for a case they were sure to lose. All of the attorneys including the one from the insurance company proper shared information and I did what was best for the kids in Garland Soccer period.
I have been sued 3 times. In the first two cases I won or was out in round one. When I won the insurance settled after my Summary Judgment win even though I wanted to fight for sanctions. The insurance is in charge. End of story.
I have never filed any suit for the purpose of personal gain. I have filed suits to accomplish needed changes. There are much easier ways to make money than fighting complicated litigation. But, then only someone who reads the actual court docs would see that.

That key word in there... likely. So, you don't know. You just assume. Who paid your attorneys fees? GSA or Pullen?
I still don't see the reason why you decided to make this a public fight with an individual. Unless you were trying to bully them into a settlement / $. I believe the more likely scenario is, you realize you would not see your $100K you demanded and decided to settle. Out of curiosity, what changes have occurred since you "won". He lost in a public vote which from the sounds of it, would have happened anyways. How did you win? The bylaws have not changed. Are they still using Jevin? Did they get their money back from Jevin? Did David A lose anything from this other than a non paid role? No need to answer as these are all rhetorical questions. Apologies to the rest of the forum for adding to this post and not letting this whole saga die.

I have been discussing the history of North Texas Soccer with a longtime former member of NTSSA's board that may write a book. The chapter on scandal and corruption might rival Gone With the Wind.

All but 2 board members were corrupt and have been voted out or quit as of last week thanks to Soapboxmom going out of her way to make sure that the facts were known of the fraud, racism, and corruption at Garland Soccer Association.
Many think of youth sports as being a sanctuary whereas fraud, racism and corruption cannot penetrate, but they often reflect what is actually going on in our society. There seems to be a broad agreement among many parents and Coaches that report this kind of activity as it is increasing at an alarming rate but never dealt with and the accused continue until someone is hurt and usually it is the kids.
All elected Board members are critical to not only the safety of our kids, but the future of our soccer community and they earn the Coaches trust and confidence to not only run in the elections but to continue to hold the position that they have been voted in to perform. Each Board Member should be held accountable to their designated area and successful major milestones one after another. The process of navigating through last-minute changes and requirements, undocumented processes, aging technology, child safety and free from any form of corruption must be addressed and eliminated immediately. Each Board member should successfully execute and solidify their understanding and execution of the bylaws and procedures highlighting opportunities for improvement to the organization and mitigate all risks of corruption, theft, prejudice and discrimination to any and all members relative to any Soccer Association.
The parents, Coaches and players have had enough and each of those individuals were voted out this last week in the election. Now we can rebuild GSA back to the organization that it once was, when it was all about the kids. Hope to see each and every one of you at future elections to participate in eliminating youth sports corruption vs ridiculing someone who did stand up and fight for the kids.

You do realize not winning an election is not ousted. More lies and sensationalism. Did he tell you he was shocked? Are y'all friends on Facebook and he posted... I am shocked. I would have gotten away with it had it not been for that meddling soapbox mom right after you pulled his mask off to reveal that he and Dan Ptak are one in the same?
Go make up stuff somewhere else please. I have been guilty of responding to this nonsense a number of times. For that I apologize to all as it just adds more fuel to the train wreck. By the way.... by train wreck, I meant you and your vendetta.

Re: Garland Soccer Lawsuit Successful David Arciniega Ousted!
A teacher may oust you from class if you are being disruptive, or you might oust your class president from her position if you beat her in the election. To oust is to “expel,” “kick out,” or “remove and replace.”
When you oust someone, you are “giving them the boot.” A sports team is ousted from a tournament if they lose an elimination round. Oust often implies both removal and replacement. The automobile, for instance, ousted the horse as the preferred means of travel. Likewise, when a politician ousts someone from office they are taking that person’s place in office. And if you beat the all-time record in a hot-dog eating tournament, then you oust the previous record holder from their position.
