I am the Democratic nominee for Place 2 on the Texas Supreme Court. I have served on the Texas Third Court of Appeals since 2019 and authored more than 800 opinions. I was elected in 2018 and reelected in 2024. I served as a U.S. Army JAG Captain and was a paratrooper. I later served as a Texas Assistant Attorney General and as a prosecutor in Comal and Travis counties. I am one of only 19 Texas judges board certified in Judicial Administration and am also board certified in Criminal Law.
