NEW: Judges are speaking out after Harris County Judge Nathan Milliron went viral for berating an IT worker who was trying to help him.
Milliron has served on the bench since January 2025.
Some judges off-camera are speaking out, saying the IT staffer is "helpful and well-liked," noting that he helps judges with a variety of issues in the courtrooms.
Retired judge Mike Schneider says a judge's conduct can be reported to the State Commission on Judicial Conduct.
Judge Rabeea Collier has also released a statement to ABC 13 following the incident:
"We are aware of the concerns raised regarding recent widely circulated footage involving a member of our Civil Division.
"The conduct of everyone serving in the judicial system must reflect the professionalism, respect, and impartiality that the public rightly expects."
"While it would be inappropriate to comment on specific matters that may be subject to review, I want to assure the public that we take these concerns seriously."
...
"There are established procedures to address concerns about judicial conduct, and those processes exist to ensure fairness, accountability, and due consideration of all relevant facts..."
