Last month, the director of the Texas Film Commission, Bob Hudgins, announced his resignation after several claims of sexual harassment were filed against him.  Hudgins' position is a part of Governor Rick Perry's office.

Hudgins was accused of sexual harassment by an employee last year and investigations revealed similar incidents.  In addition, recent investigations found that he may have practiced gender discrimination when hiring.  Hudgins originally filed his resignation September 1st to be effective September 30th, but this was pushed back until November 30th after the November 2nd election.

Investigators from the Austin American-Statesman found evidence that Hudgins sexually harassed a female subordinate repeatedly between 2005 and 2009.  The female subordinate reported several incidents of Hudgins kissing her on the cheek and neck and continuously making some type of physical contact.
