Lawsuit Against NTSSA Board Member David Arciniega & Garland

[Soapboxmom]

The lawsuit against North Texas State Board Member David Arciniega and Garland Soccer is going forward.  Please find following the Second Amended Petition.  GSA and David Arciniega's Plea to Jurisdiction was denied on April Fool's Day.

So in summary, three years of posting on txsoccer.net comes down to the fact you were not re-elected for an unpaid volunteer position and now you seek $100,000 in compensation?  I see this getting thrown out in court, but good luck.

I was confused and thought you were trying to clean up the soccer association in Garland? I don't see how suing them for monetary gain accomplishes that but to each their own.

[Soapboxmom]

The Plea to Jurisdiction, which Garland Soccer and David Arciniega filed in hopes of getting the case thrown out, was denied.

This case was never about money as is perfectly clear in the petition.  The filing covers only a tiny fraction of the issues going on.  Please read the filing carefully.   The mismanagement, hostile environment and blatant disregard for state law and IRS regulations is why this organization has shrunk from over 4000 players to around 2000 under the leadership of David Arciniega.  GSA and NTSSA do not follow their own by-laws and I had no other alternative but to file in court.  

My focus has always been on making things right for the coaches and kids in Garland.

I was around GSA for 20+ years. David Arceniega is without question, the biggest slime ball I have ever come across in the soccer world, he makes Hilary Clinton look like mother Teresa.

Putting aside the Sex Crimes, the missing funds, the bogus elections, he just conducts himself in a way that is slimy. He has surrounded himself with slime ball constituents, and it is quiet easy to tell which one those are, if they have been on the board for over 8+ years, then they are one. Those that don't follow him blindly, are pushed out.

Level two sex offended: indicates that the person poses a moderate danger to the community and may continue to engage in criminal sexual conduct.

And GSA knew about this?

Disband and replace everyone associated with GSA.
Create a new GSA immediately.

The kids still need to play.
But not under this group who failed the community and kids.

[Soapboxmom]

Time to kiss North Texas goodbye.  Other groups are stepping up and offering to take over Garland and the surrounding territory.  As North Texas is not following its by-laws and doing its job for the local associations that is has jurisdiction over it is definitely time for change.  Please contact the city of Garland and let them know your thoughts!

Garland has gone from the second largest association in NTSSA to a collapsing mismanaged disaster with less than half the number of kids playing since David Arciniega's dictatorship came into power. With the numbers continuing to plummet, what is left of Garland Soccer should be saved so the kids can play close to home.

As much as I appreciate and understand the allegations, the existence of academy soccer and Plano Div 4 is the main cause of small local associations' decline.

Totally agree. On Soapbox's observations I think all Rec association presidents will get fired and sued then.

[Guest]

It's hard to imagine things outside of our bubble, but participation in team sports is down.  Kids are mostly neglected and overweight.  They are good at FIFA though.

I don't think the FCD league killed rec soccer.

Frivolous lawsuits are no longer needed under Bernie. He will cut us all $100K checks. If Bernie doesn't win, then the American dream will remain the same... claim your victim status (plenty to choose from now) and sue. After you win you can call JG Wentworth because you know what, it's your money, and you want it now.

[Soapboxmom]

Most rec associations are well run.  Mesquite, Plano, Wylie and Richardson are doing fantastic things and all have walked away from Garland and refuse to play interleague with them for very good reason.  Plano is so full that they are turning away rec teams.  Wylie had an incredible free tournament in the fall for one shining example.  Even though some of Sachse is in Garland's territory, the city sends all of their players straight over to Wylie and lists that as the only affiliated group on the city's website.  

There are a few rec associations including Garland, Denton and Dallas East that have been pretty much destroyed by corrupt leadership.  Don't forget that Garland was the second largest association in North Texas when David Arciniega's dictatorship came into power.  He and his blind followers have destroyed that association plain and simple.  The number of players has been cut by half and many long time coaches and established teams have left or will leave over the coming summer.  

The experienced coaches know to avoid the Garland tournaments as they are poorly run and boring.  The 42 year most beloved coach didn't even have any refs assigned to one of his tournament games.  There are no sponsors or vendors except for Children's Medical Center.  Who wants to play the very few teams they have been playing all season with zero atmosphere and very little involvement by the GSA leadership?    

North Texas has been made aware of numerous serious issues and ignores its own by-laws and totally drops the ball.  Many other small associations are floundering and again, NTSSA simply offers no support or leadership any longer.  North Texas was a great association years ago.  Now, it is simply crumbling.  It is so totally corrupt itself that a coach that took advantage of the open territory rule and an innocent association were brought up on charges.  Those charges were sent out without a single scrap of evidence.  So, now coaches must live in fear of being harassed and attacked for taking advantage of what was supposed to be open territory.   Other organizations including Club Soccer are going to sweep through as NTSSA is not serving this area well.

Chances are the Garland Soccer board will see this for the first time here. David Arciniega keeps the board in the dark. When will NTSSA step in and take jurisdiction of this totally mismanaged and corrupt association?

I received a report from a licensed attorney calling from his law office that is on the board af another youth sports group using Jevin. They are owed $39,000.00 by Jevin and a group near them is out $20,000.00 as well. David Arciniega forced the GSA board to retain Jevin after numerous late payments and "missing money" from 2013. David Arciniega is responsible for risking tens of thousands of dollars belonging to the children and families of Garland with Jevin. This is one of the many reasons I filed suit against him. He has destroyed Garland Soccer. Board members, coaches and players are leaving Garland Soccer in droves. GSA is collapsing.

The City of Garland and US Youth Soccer must immediately take action. As Arciniega is on the NTSSA board, then US Youth Soccer must take jurisdiction of GSA and a forensic auditor and independent counsel must be appointed to thoroughly investigate David Arciniega and Garland Soccer.

Garland Soccer continues to collapse due to the mismanagement, manipulations and dishonesty of David Arciniega. When he took over there were 4000 players. Now, there are barely 2000. Tournaments used to be huge. Even a few seasons ago there would be more than 100 Garland teams in the GSA tournaments. Usually at least 50% of the teams would sign up. In what looks to be the last tournament under Arciniega only 75 Garland teams registered out of a paltry 192 playing this season.

Wylie has had awesome free tournaments as they have wonderful forward thinking leadership that works together. They had gobs of very generous and reputable sponsors. David Arciniega has refused to allow the directors to seek out sponsors. So, there are no sponsors for the Garland tournaments. Arciniega had to make serious price hikes in the tournament fess as with the rapidly shrinking numbers Garland is probably losing money and in serious trouble.

Come fall the U19 teams will age out and not be playing and many more teams, coaches and players will join the mass exodus. The City of Garland and North Texas State Soccer (NTSSA) should have stepped in a long time ago and thoroughly investigated the safety and money issues in the program. The city of Garland now has no real viable soccer program and the taxpayers are forced to pay for a program that they don't want to play in or are barred from participating in. Anyone like me who demanded that David Arciniega follow, the by-laws, IRS regulations and state law concerning fiduciary duties and the like is harassed and sometimes forced out. So, the City of Garland has its own taxpayers being barred from participating in this city sponsored program for no legitimate reason. The total collapse of Garland Soccer in imminent.

[Soapboxmom]

Discovery responses from David Arciniega and the Garland Soccer Association (close to defunct board) were due today. Just what does David Arciniega have to hide?  Their attorney has not turned over a single piece of paper nor asked for an extension. There were also other documents that the GSA attorney had said he would file that have not been filed. Motions to Compel and Motions for Sanctions may be forthcoming.

I would bet that the Garland Soccer board has no knowledge of any of this and have not even begun to gather the documents the court will require all of them personally to turn over. When I was on the board we were denied documentation and kept totally in the dark about everything by David Arciniega. Board members could not access any files in the soccer office either. That is in direct violation of the by-laws, state law concerning fiduciary duties, IRS regulations.

Judging from the first lie-filled response to the lawsuit by the North Texas State Soccer Association (NTSSA) attorney that mysteriously bailed when it got a little hot in the kitchen, the only person with access to the lawyers is that liar David Arciniega. The original response claimed issues that I had must be heard at the NTSSA level. Obviously, that is not correct according to the by-laws of GSA and NTSSA, and if the board had seen that totally false information in that legal filing, it would have been corrected.

The second attorney (paid for and working for the insurance company) told an outright lie in court as well. He claimed I had not been to NTSSA with my concerns. I have been to NTSSA, Region III, US Youth and US Soccer as warranted. So, again I am sure the attorney is only talking to that liar, David Arciniega and the board has no clue what is going on with the lawsuit whatsoever.

Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Each Officer and Director of the Association, in consideration of his service as such, shall be
indemnified by the Association to the extent permitted by law against expenses and liabilities

civil or criminal, to which he may be a party by reason of being or having been Director or
Officer of the Association. The foregoing rights of indemnification shall not be exclusive of
any other rights to which the Director or Officer or person may be entitled by law or agreement
or vote of the members or otherwise

Clearly the board is supposed to run the association and not the self-appointed dictator, David Arciniega. And, GSA should have immediately invoked its insurance to get an attorney to address the lawsuit. I think David Arciniega used the NTSSA attorney as he wanted an attorney that he alone would control and benefit from. As he is the main reason GSA has been sued, he should accept responsibility and not let his many misdeeds hurt the charity he had sworn to serve.

Obviously, David Arciniega lied to the member coaches and families when he assured them that he had done nothing wrong and that the case would be thrown out in June 2015. Arciniega isn't winning, but rather completely destroying GSA. Instead of electing directors, the member coaches should dissolve the corporation at the May 26th GSA meeting and demand that US Youth step in and take jurisdiction and that the City of Garland be involved in forming a new governing body for the city program.

I bet your ex husband is happy you're focused on someone other than him.

[Soapboxmom]

The GSA board is no doubt being kept in the dark by Arciniega.  If they are not hearing from the lawyer, I suggest they file formal complaints.

Not to mention that the board and David Arciniega should have separate representation for obvious reasons:
