Mr. Sparks is well known to law enforcement in the area as he has been arrested three times and convicted three times of DUI. It is suggested Sparks got to keep his law license due to his connection (s) with Walter Umphrey of Beaumont, Texas, who is a well known and respected lawyer. A few years ago, the rumor at the law firm was that the firm was tired of the actions of Mr. Sparks and he was released. He landed at the Mostyn Law Firm in Houston, however, Mr. Mostyn died less than a month ago and Mr. Sparks was either in the process of losing his job – or had lost it.
