Thank you for visiting my website. I am seeking election to an open seat on the Fourteenth Court of Appeals, and I would be honored to have your vote in the 2012 Republican primary. This seat (Place 3) is currently held by Justice John Anderson, who is not running for re-election.

I have specialized in appeals for thirteen years. I began my legal career as a law clerk at the U.S. Supreme Court, and I am currently a partner at Bracewell & Giuliani LLP. Please visit my Bio page to learn more about my legal experience, political and community involvement, and personal background. Also, please visit the Get Involved page to sign up for campaign email updates so that we can continue to communicate.

I believe that a judge must be fair to all parties and apply the law as written, not legislate from the bench. Texans deserve to have well-qualified, hard-working judges who share this philosophy of judicial restraint. That is why I ask for your support and your vote.

The Fourteenth Court of Appeals hears appeals of civil, criminal, and family law cases from Austin, Brazoria, Chambers, Colorado, Fort Bend, Galveston, Grimes, Harris, Waller, and Washington Counties. I appreciate your interest in my campaign, and I would be honored to serve you on this Court.

Sincerely,
