FROM HERO TO INMATE…AND BACK — THE STORY THEY TRIED TO BURY.

My name is Kent McGowen — an Honorably Discharged U.S. Air Force Veteran…a former Houston Police Officer…a decorated Deputy Sheriff...and an innocent man who spent more than 19 years behind bars for doing exactly what I was trained, ordered, and sworn to do; protect lives.

On the day that changed everything, I was serving a lawful felony warrant on an armed, suicidal, drugged-up suspect. When she raised her weapon and pointed it directly at me, I did what any trained Officer would do — I acted to save my fellow Officers and myself. But, instead of receiving justice, I was betrayed by corrupt officials within my own ranks and railroaded into a 20-year nightmare in Texas’s most brutal prisons.

They tried to silence me.

They tried to break me.

But God had other plans.

With the help of the Texas Rangers, fellow Officers, and righteous fighters for truth and justice, I was finally freed on July 14, 2021, after enduring 19 years, 4 months, and 4 days in the Police-hating hell of the Texas penal system.

I am the first Law Enforcement Officer in Texas history imprisoned for a line-of-duty, self-defense shooting. I am also unequivocally, provably, and completely innocent. But the fight didn’t end with my release. The slander. The media lies. The destruction of my name and family…

But I still have faith.

Today, I’m asking for your help to finish what God started — to clear my name. Every donation helps me to pay for the legal team fighting for my exoneration.
