I am the presiding judge of the 458^th District Court in Fort Bend County. My background and experience are the reasons the voters elected me to the court in 2018, and continue to be the reasons I am seeking re-election for another four-year term. My qualifications include being a mediator, arbitrator and obtaining my license as a Certified Public Accountant.

My education includes a degree in economics from Duke University in North Carolina, and my law degree from South Texas College of Law. I have been a member of the Texas Bar since 1977, and became Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization in 1987, and have continuously maintained this specialization. Only about two percent of lawyers in Texas are able to obtain board certification in any of the specialized fields, including criminal and juvenile law. Specialization requires many years of experience in a particular field; passing a rigorous written examination; and continuous legal education and training to maintain the certification.
