In September, Dustin Clark, who has children in the Round Rock neighborhood, was arrested after speaking out against Azayez during a meeting (pictured).
Azaiez, a former superintendent in the independent school district of Donna, was hired by the Road Rock School Board in June 2021, signing a three-year contract offering a $ 350,000 annual salary.
But just weeks after Azaiez took up his new post, his alleged mistress filed a defense order against him, accusing the senior education official of trying to force her to terminate her pregnancy to protect his career and reputation, and then physically attacked her when she would not agree to have an abortion.
When the school district learned of the charges against Azaiez five months later, he hired an independent investigator and put the principal on paid administrative leave.
No charges have been filed against Azayez, and the defense order against him has expired.

The superintendent’s lover wrote in her affidavit that she told Azaiez about her pregnancy on June 24, 2021, after he had just signed the contract appointing him new round superintendent of Round Rock.
“He was very worried about losing his job,” the mistress wrote. “He was very angry and accused me of doing it on purpose to ruin his career and his family.”
According to the documentation, Azaiez blamed the woman for their affair and pregnancy, and then allegedly started threatening her on phone calls and in text messages.
“He asked me to have an abortion so he wouldn’t lose his career and his family. I was very upset by this and I said no to abortion and I told him that I had decided to have a child, “wrote the woman, who was nine weeks pregnant at the time.
School Board Chairwoman Amy Weir (pictured) has been accused of saying she would defend Azayez from allegations of misconduct.
“He said this child was a mistake, just like me, he didn’t want to do anything with this child, he didn’t want it,” she continued. “He said he was lying and was not the father of the child.”
The woman insisted she was “one hundred percent sure” that Azais was the father because she said she was faithful to him throughout their three-year relationship.
A few days later, she wrote that Azais began to intimidate her, “by telling me that he was in power … then he said that no one would believe me if I said that he was the father and that he would tell all that I am crazy and makes me look crazy.
The landlady said she had repeatedly begged Azayez to inform the school board about her pregnancy, but she said her new boss boasted that then-school board president Amy Weir “offered to protect him, she informed him of everything and assured him he will not lose his job, “according to the court document.
The petitioner continued: “In the past, I have heard conversations between him and the chairman of the school board to talk things out and keep things from other members of the school board.”
The mother-to-be added that she felt “very scared” by Weir.
The file alleges that on July 6, Azayez called his mistress, accusing her of informing the school board about her pregnancy behind his back. He allegedly reiterated that Weir would protect him and the woman “would pay for the loss of his career and family”.
Later that day, Azaiez allegedly came to his pregnant girlfriend’s home and tried again to persuade her to have an abortion, but she refused.
“He became so angry that he grabbed me by the arms, shook me and pushed me until he threw me to the floor,” she said.
When the woman threatened to call the police, she said Azayez had taken her phone, but then told her she did not want to do so, and left.
The woman claims that she suffered bleeding after the attack and the doctor told her that she could have spontaneously. It is unclear whether the woman has terminated her pregnancy.

According to the defense, the mistress was left to fear for her life and the life of her baby after someone broke into her home in the Austin area in mid-July and stole items containing her personal information, including her iPad. laptop and diaries, but not her jewelry, cash or other valuables.
“I believe that the burglary was that Mr. Azaiez had collected my personal belongings that could reveal him and prove that this connection is true and possible evidence that I can have to support the existence of the relationship and its threatening behavior, “she said.
The woman added that she was forced to leave her home and temporarily move in with a friend for fear of retaliation from Azaiez.
“I feel that my life is in danger and I need protection from it,” she wrote. “If this situation comes to light, I’m afraid he will lose it and take revenge on me and hurt me in a worse way.”
Azayez has not been charged with assault or burglary at his girlfriend’s home.
That’s what his lawyer said Fox News Digital that there was “indisputable” evidence that the attack never took place, but did not say what it was. She also revealed that Azayez and his mistress have reached a confidential agreement.
During a meeting of the school board in August 2021, Jeremy Story, a father of seven living in the Round Rock neighborhood, raised the defense order against Azaiez, prompting then-board president Weir to suspend him. The police then escorted the parent from the meeting.
Weir, who has since been replaced as chairman of the board but remains on the board, has previously denied any attempts to silence Story.
On September 14, Dustin Clark, a father of four attending schools in the Round Rock neighborhood, spoke at a school board meeting and also mentioned allegations of misconduct against Azaiez, which led to his removal from what he said could hold 300 people, but there were only 18 chairs set up for the meeting.
School district officials blamed COVID’s restrictions on reduced capacity.
Three days later, both Story and Clark were arrested by the sheriff’s office on charges of obstructing the proceedings by violation.
Story called on the school board to investigate its members, but the council recently voted 5-2 against such an investigation.
Clark, who spent three days in jail, criticized Weir and other board members for allegedly oppressing and intimidating community members seeking to expose Azaiez’s alleged misconduct, and he urged both the superintendent and Weir to “do the right thing.” And to resign.
The final report of Azayez’s investigation is expected to be published on March 8, according to the publication Austin is an American statesman.
