SABINE COUNTY, Texas — Newly filed indictment documents obtained by East Texas Banner provide additional details in the three felony cases now pending in Sabine County against former Texas Parks & Wildlife Game Warden and Lone Star Law television personality Justin Charles Eddins.

The documents, filed November 19, 2025, outline three separate counts of False Statement to Obtain Credit in Provision of Certain Services under Texas Penal Code §32.32. Each indictment carries a $10,000 bond, totaling $30,000 across the three cases.

Case Details Released

Case No. CR35081780
Date: March 22, 2022
Institution: Sabine State Bank
This indictment alleges that Eddins failed to disclose existing debt on a loan application — a material omission prosecutors assert constitutes a false statement under Texas Penal Code §32.32. The loan amount is listed between $30,000 and $150,000.

Case No. CR35082778
Date: July 8, 2022
Institution: Doches Credit Union
The second indictment alleges similar conduct, stating that Eddins did not report an existing debt on a credit application. The loan value is listed between $30,000 and $150,000.

Case No. CR35082777
Date: July 8, 2022
Institution: Sabine State Bank
This indictment differs from the first two.According to the document, Eddins is accused of applying for credit using the name “Roy Chad Eddins” “for the benefit of Justin Charles Eddins.” The loan amount is again listed between $30,000 and $150,000.

Each indictment was signed by the foreperson of the Sabine County Grand Jury.

These cases are separate from the earlier San Augustine County indictment involving Southside Bank, which alleges Eddins used another person’s credit to obtain $150,000–$300,000 in loans between March 2022 and November 2023.

Texas Parks & Wildlife confirmed that Eddins was no longer employed by the agency as of October 23, 2025.

All three Sabine County cases remain active in district court.

East Texas Banner will continue monitoring both counties for updates as the cases progress.
