Attorney CJ Grisham joined me to talk about Jandy Rowell.
He represents Ms. Rowell, and she is currently sitting in jail in Tennessee and has been since August 25, 2022.
The reason she is there is murky. Below is the arrest warrant issued by the Texas Attorney General’s Office which did not respond to my email for comment.
As Grisham explained, Jandy is charged with custodial interference and kidnapping but there is a big problem with that charge.
That’s based on her purported violation of custody order, but her custody case is currently in Louisiana.
Why is Texas trying to enforce a purported violation of a Louisiana order? That’s what CJ would like to know as well and argued as such in a recent motion.
There is more. CJ has tried to get information on this warrant. He went to the Collins County DA’s Office, their court, and the Plano Police Department, and no one would provide him with any information.
He received through Tennessee a copy of an arrest probable cause affidavit filled out by Detective Kristina McClain; McClain did not respond to a voicemail and email from me for comment.
This probable cause affidavit is also defective. As is clear, Jandy alleged that her ex-husband, Brad Pullins, was sexually molesting their son. Detective McClain does not believe it and she doesn’t think there is any evidence.
Yet, multiple therapists/psychologists have written and testified that their son made an outcry to them; CJ told me that more than one testified about these disclosures under oath. Here are parts of two emails from professionals who believe their son.
Hey Kristina,
Thank you for our conversation today. I just wanted to summarize what we talked about.
In your investigations you have not found any evidence to prove that Dax had been sexually abused by dad and you feel that mom may be coaching him. I shared my note from Dax's presenting information regarding dad touching him. I also shared that Dax reported that he did not want to talk to dad any more, although you shared that Dax reported in the interview that dad touched mom just like him and mom doesn't like dad so he does not want to like dad. You feel a concern for Dax and how this is going to affect him. I will continue using play therapy with Dax to ensure that he works through anything that he is going through. I will also use play therapy to ask probing questions regarding where the allegations are coming from. It is my understanding that you feel that mom is not a good influence for Dax and a report has been filed in Louisiana, and you have asked dad to get mom to undergo a psych eval. Ultimately, Dax is the main concern and we do want him safe. Thank you so much for your time, Please let me know if you need anything from me.
Thanks

To Whom It May Concern:
I, Tiffani Robinson LPC-A, M.S., CSOTP, began seeing Dax (James Pullins, DOB: 02/23/2017) on May 5th, 2022, as he transitioned from one therapist to myself, as his previous therapist was moving out of state. Upon our first session, Dax reported during a game about emotions that he was angry at his father, as his father had touched his private area. Dax did not wish to discuss this further at this time. However, he regularly discusses, in session, that he does not want to talk to his father on the phone, but that he has to. We have discussed topics to talk to dad about, such as mindcraft (Dax’s favorite game), to help initiate conversations with dad. He reports he does not want to talk to dad, because of “what he did.”
Thank you,
Tiffani Robinson, LPC-A, M.S., CSOTP
Even more of a problem is that when I asked the court for a copy of all publicly available information related to this arrest warrant, the open records department told me they had no information.
CJ was told the same thing. I was given the email to Gayle Leyko, an attorney who works for the Plano government, but she did not respond.
Meanwhile, the child custody case in Louisiana has also been sealed. Here is the response I got when I asked Pullins Louisiana attorney, Jessica Fitts, about the case.
“This case is under seal by order of the court. Therefore, all parties and their attorneys are prohibited from speaking on social/other media about this case. My client and I will both be following the judge's order until and unless this case concludes or his order changes.” Fitts told me in an email.
I asked her to comment specifically on the child molestation allegations in a follow up email, but she did not respond to that.
CJ also stated that with a felony there is a requirement under Texas law to get a grand jury indictment; that has not happened in this case.
It appears as though the highest levels of Texas law enforcement are being used as weapons by someone who may be a child molester to target a child’s mother with bogus charges.
