In this episode of Made in Nacogdoches, Brad Maule sits down with Nacogdoches native and longtime county attorney John Fleming for one of the most open, warm, and far-reaching conversations ever recorded on the show.
John shares what it was like growing up in East Texas, his family’s deep baseball roots, and the surprising story behind a rare photograph of his father with Joe DiMaggio. He opens the door to the real world inside the courthouse, discussing domestic violence cases, CPS work, drugs, public safety, and the difficult, emotional decisions county attorneys and judges must make every day.
Brad and John dive into the massive changes coming to Nacogdoches with UT’s arrival, the new baseball team, growth challenges, and how balancing history with future development will shape the region for decades. They explore faith, purpose, the weight of responsibility, and the importance of finding guidance in tough moments. The two also share humorous memories, local legends, courthouse characters, and Brad’s own Hollywood experiences, including the famous “big break” moment.
This conversation is rich with storytelling, honesty, humor, heart, and a deep look at what makes Nacogdoches special and the people who hold the community together.
