“Judge Mayfield’s appointment to the 165th District Court bench demonstrates Governor Abbott’s commitment to making outstanding judicial appointments,” said John Fainter, Chairman of the TCJL Board of Directors.  “Judge Mayfield is exceptionally well qualified and will serve the Texas judiciary with integrity and distinction. We are fortunate to have a public servant of Judge Mayfield’s stature and experience in this critically important judicial office, and we commend the Governor for his deliberate and thoughtful approach to vetting judicial candidates.”

A graduate of Texas A&M University and South Texas College of Law, Judge Mayfield currently serves as judge of the Harris County Civil Court at Law Number One and Administrative Judge of the Harris County Civil Courts.
