Big Rich Texas Cast Member Has Prior Felony Conviction

UPDATE: If I’m reading this version of events correctly, it looks like Duarte was arrested in May of 1980 and given 6 months probation. Then it appears that while on probation she was arrested again and given a 5 year probation sentence. But again, that’s strictly my interpretation.

Style Network’s Big Rich Texas star, Pamela Martin Duarte, has been calling fellow cast members “frauds” all season long. Does forgery fall into that category?

Fannin County criminal records, specifically case number 16237, indicate that Duarte (Hagerty at the time, which appears to be one name before she was Martin and two before Duarte) was convicted of forgery on 11/21/1980. The report also says “confinement is to commence on 08/27/1980, county jail.”

The case has an Order of Dismissal entered 12/11/1985.

    this woman is certifiable…that’s one reason why I will never be on reality TV…I don’t want my past coming up to bite me

  2. @_nikki_Chikki says:

    Mrs Conspiracy (the aliens are coming!) Bully Pam , has opened up a big can of worms for herself i see ! LOL

  3. Emily says:

    She’s a nut job. I don’t believe a word that comes out of her mouth. The law suit she filed against Dena and Bonnie is RIDICULOUS. She tarnishes her own reputation on a daily basis.

  4. BfOBRT says:

    I’m speechless due to my overwhelming happiness that you exposed the biggest bully on Reality TV. Amazing!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

    TEAM BON, MERRITT, LESLIE, & DENA

  5. Angie says:

    Wow! Just, wow!

  6. Michelle says:

    hahahahahahahaha!!!!! see she is so defensive because she is guilty!!!!! WHAT A SLAP IN THE FACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

  7. Diana Loomis says:

    This explains why she desperately wants to find something on Leslie. She probably wants to find something so bad on Leslie to make it okay that she actually has a felony conviction.

  8. khakijack says:

    Merritt, I think you’ve got your links swapped in your update paragraph. (right links, just backwards from the way you want them in your text.)

  9. khakijack says:

    @Diana, I think you are exactly right. Pam was trying a diversionary tactic. If people are dumb enough to believe that she is the class/asset police, perhaps nobody will look into her past. Then, when they do, she can play the “I’m not the only one” card.

    Not everyone has a squeaky clean past. However, a conviction for forgery isn’t something that I’d want anyone I was doing business with to have.

  10. Heather says:

    Forgery? Really :/ ive done some dumb things in my day & nothing so serious where I felt lying, or stealing, or forgery was the answere duh.
    Glad it aint me, & im broke with no felony. I can laugh with that all the way to my bank. Haha :D

  11. Yorkie says:

    2 criminal convictions. Also according to public data she was pregnant with hannah when she got marries to her dad. She has no room to be casting judgements on anyone!

  12. Sandi says:

    I’m not even remotely surprised. But why oh why would one go on a reality TV show, act like they are perfect, and have these kinds of skeletons in the closet.?

  13. Em says:

    Okay so I tweeted Pam, and said how do you explain this?? Her response “actually amused when it involved a dumb 16 year old who as an adult is immensely successful in life!”

    Does that mean she is only 48, because I was thinking mid 50s +….

  14. Terry Grant says:

    Here is a tad more info. I am not certain but I think the Martin in Martin-Duarte is short for Martinez and is Ignacio’s last name.

    HAGERTY, PAMELA M who was 29 (born ABT 1963) married 3 MAY 1992 in DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS, U.S.A. a groom named FRANK GELBART who was 30 (born ABT 1962). 257,144

  15. Terry Grant says:

    Thanks so much, her grandiose attitude is so annoying. She needs to be taken down a few notches. Please continue peeling back the layers.

  16. khakijack says:

    Based on those records, Pam is 49. I agree she looks older.

    But if you average the age that she dresses and the age that she acts . . . (85+13)/2 = 49

  17. KLS says:

    If her lawsuit actually goes to trial, I’m totally taking a leave of absence from my job to watch from the gallery!

  18. KLS says:

    Time to put Pam in the shade.

  19. Trs says:

    I believe that Pam knows that Leslie is a liar and a phony. Who knows a liar better than a liar? Who knows a criminal better than a criminal? Pam and Leslie. You really think Leslie didn’t tell Tyler to use Whitney? You really think Leslie is going green? Green as in cash only, the plastic is probably starting to turn rubber and bounce!

  20. MAMomma says:

    Maybe Pam’s upset to have anyone threaten her position of Biggest Phony going. Why is it that some people walk around with their nose so high in the air, they forget how full of skeletons their closets are? Mrs. Martin-Duarte-Felon-Forger should watch her Ps and Qs, and the rest of those around her should run in the other direction (hearing this, Fashionistas?!?!) before the you-know-what really hits the fan.

  21. displayedskeletons says:

    Perhaps they should have a reality show about people exposing the skeletons of “one hit wonders” reality stars. I could take on the lead role of exposing some of Pam’s. Then again, maybe not. I enjoy my “regular” life. I just hope she really regrets some of her past actions, no matter when they were made. Hurting people physically or emotionally is not forgiveable in some peoples book…better get right with God girl.

  22. KayKay says:

    TRS, i agree with you i think leslie is a fake, but i think shes also trying to fit in and pamela is a good person but thinks shes all big and bad! [ha shes not] lol. i love bonnie and luagh about whitney although i wouldnt be her.

  23. SAC says:

    I cannot stand Pam, she ruined the show for me I won’t be watching it any more. For the other cast members still on B.R.T., I certainly hope they are compensating you enough for all the mental health eval you will need once they pull the plug to this show. Maybe I am wrong and this will be the new Dallas, and Pam will be the next J.R., who knows, I certainly don’t. I did not see Pam listed on the cast for season 3 hopefully Style did not renew her contract and “Pop pop tap Boom” >.< someone pulled the plug (shot) Pams short lived acting reality series career! Peace to all and I would include Pam but she wouldn't appreciate it! <3's

  24. bfly says:

    I think pam got so many guilt building up that she cant feel a thing anymore…thats why she is laughing everything off… hmmmmm shame

  25. Pawlu says:

    Yuppppsi Pam, lol your fantastic, it just keeps getting better and better, the more poo the better. Lol keep them coming. Love the madness.

  26. Pawlu says:

    Pam, is your new husband, a house husband ? Is he the maid? I’m curious ;-)

  27. Bluesbaby says:

    I just want to know when Whitney is going to grow up and quit being such a lil smarta$$ to her mother. Oh but wait! Her mother just takes it so what could one expect but such a royally spoiled lil brat. She’s fortunate she’s not my daughter. It would be worth prison just to slap her upside that sassy trashy mouth. Get a grip girl! You’re 24 NOT 12. Now grow up and be thankful to GOD you have a mother (albeit a nutty one), that loves you so much Pumpkin :-)
