Greg's Opinion, October 7th: Greg points out a problem in Hoang's reports.
Off the Kuff, November 2nd: Kuff talks about Hoang's reports that are not filled out correctly.
Greg's Opinion December 11th: Greg notes Hoang does not live in District F.
Admittedly, the Chron has some humorous quotes and details, including these (emphasis and comments in parenthesis, mine):
Asked about the homestead exemptions, Hoang replied, “You prove it,” adding, “You're trying to pick on me.” Contacted again Wednesday night, he hung up.

Hoang, however, insisted that his reports included the required information about the time period covered. He said he did not believe dates of individual donations or donors' occupations were required. (Um, well, he's wrong.)
[---]
Hoang, a Republican, is a Vietnamese immigrant who previously ran for an at-large city council seat and a state district judgeship.
Jared Woodfill, Harris County Republican Party chairman, said the party endorsed Hoang and sponsored mailers for him.
“I think very, very highly of him,” Woodfill said, characterizing questions about Hoang's residency and campaign finance filings as “sour grapes from someone who supported the opposition.”I don't get the impression voters care if their elected representative lives in the district. Apparently, they rarely care if their rep has a boat load of ethics problems. I've seen both situations many times, and voters keep electing the violators.
So, everybody quit picking on Mr. Hoang and let him go about the business of serving on Council committees, helping solve the City's budget crisis, and serving the good people of a district far, far away from where he really resides.

Jared Woodfill would support someone who stole $170,000 from his donors just as long as some of that $170,000 was donated to him.
