Judicial Philosophy (Max 250 words)
"We have the greatest Judicial System in the world, which can only survive by the enforcement of our laws and our Constitution. However, it is at a crossroads, because there are politicians, the media and some judges that are ignoring our laws, watering down our laws and/or blatantly refusing to enforce our laws.
  • I will follow and enforce our laws.
  • I will NOT legislate from the bench.
  • I will uphold the Constitution and our laws that have made TEXAS GREAT and ensure fair and equal access and justice for all.

    The bulk of appeals to the Texas Courts of Appeals deal with the application of laws and facts during the Trials in District Courts and County Courts at Law, the vast majority of which are Jury Trials. A Justice’s judicial philosophy should be one of judicial self-restraint. Rulings should be made based upon well established tried and true established case law precedent. Therefore, prior case law precedent needs to be followed and enforced to insure fair and equal access and justice for all. A Court of Appeals Justice reviews Trials that are appealed from District Courts and/or County Courts at Law. The Justice must ensure that the proper laws, evidence and procedures were applied and followed."
