“Justice at Texas’s highest criminal court demands more than theory; it requires real courtroom experience and sound judgment. Three times the Governor of Texas has appointed me to the district court bench, entrusting me with decisions that carry profound consequences for victims, defendants, and the rule of law. That experience will ensure justice is applied fairly, consistently, and with unwavering respect for the Constitution.”
