Alec Dreyer, CEO Port of Houston |
This Insite received this information late Monday night from the attorney of Port of Houston Authority CEO Alec Dreyer. He has provided a letter from the Harris County District Attorney's office clearing his client of allegations of wrongdoing. Here's the statement from Dreyer who is returning to private life and the latest from his attorney:
Dear Members of the Media:
I represent Alec Dreyer, the CEO of the
Port of Houston Authority. The Harris County District Attorney’s Office
has officially exonerated Mr. Dreyer concerning the false allegations
made against him earlier this year. Specifically,
the DA found that Mr. Dreyer followed Port policies, did nothing
unusual, and complied with the law. Based on my experience and that of
many other knowledgeable lawyers in Houston, this kind of letter is
virtually unprecedented in Harris County. I am delighted
that, because of the District Attorney’s thorough and fair
investigation, the public now knows that Mr. Dreyer has been vindicated
and the false allegations against Mr. Dreyer have been put to rest.
Mr. Dreyer’s statement to the media is below. Please call with any questions.
Sincerely,
Steven J. Mitby, attorney for Alec Dreyer
Partner at Ahmad, Zavitsanos, Anaipakos, Alavi & Mensing, P.C.

Statement from Alec Dreyer, CEO of the Port of Houston
I am pleased to announce that I have
received a letter of exoneration from the Harris County District
Attorney’s Office. The DA’s office conducted a thorough and fair
investigation of the false allegations made against me earlier
this year. The DA’s office found that I complied with the law,
followed Port policies, and did nothing out of the ordinary. (The
letter is attached to this email.)
I personally requested this investigation
to clear my name after questions were raised about my use of the Port’s
boat for a promotional tour and our record-keeping practices related to
the boat’s use.
I
feel it is vitally important for the public to know the truth. I came
to the Port of Houston to apply my business experience in public
service.
We’ve achieved a great deal in my time here, most notably by helping
this Port prepare for significant growth coming as a result of the
expansion of the Panama Canal and the ongoing demographic shift to the
Texas triangle.
I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished.
This experience, however, has shown me that the political arena is not
where I want to be. I have decided not to seek reappointment, but rather
to go back to the business world. I’m happy
to serve until a replacement is found.
I’ve enjoyed my work at the Port and I
think it’s important that this organization continues to apply good
business practices to encourage prosperity, to capitalize on this
growth, and to create jobs for this region.
