The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals is a court that many people know little to nothing about. Yet as the highest appellate court in Texas for criminal cases—and the court that decides the appeal of every Texas death penalty case—this court has a significant impact on the criminal justice system. With thousands of post-conviction writs filed each year, the Court typically disposes of more matters each year than any other appellate court in the nation. It is critical that we have someone leading this important Court who understands the realities of practicing criminal law as an advocate in the trial and appellate courts of Texas today. I bring a unique combination of experience and values to fill this critical position.

---

Throughout my career, I’ve worked to ensure that our laws are enforced fairly and justly, without regard to the status of the accused. I’ve prosecuted public officials who have abused their authority in my roles with the Travis County District Attorney’s Public Integrity and Civil Rights Units. And I am proud of my work with the Conviction Integrity Unit, which investigates claims of wrongful conviction and seeks to exonerate the innocent.

---

I have the scholarly expertise needed to lead the Court. I am board certified in Criminal Appellate Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. I taught advanced legal writing at the University of Texas School of Law. I’ve published legal papers and made many presentations over the years—I teach law to other lawyers. Further, I am ready to take on the big administrative and policy issues that the Presiding Judge encounters in her organizational role serving on entities like the Texas Indigent Defense Commission. I have a public policy background with a master’s degree from the LBJ School of Public Affairs. And I gained a unique perspective serving as the Court’s Rules Attorney and as a member of the Court’s Rules Advisory Committee.

Selection

See also: Partisan elections

The nine justices of the supreme court and nine judges of the court of criminal appeals are selected in partisan elections. The elected justices and judges serve six-year terms, after which they must run for re-election if they wish to continue serving. In the event of a midterm vacancy, the governor appoints a replacement until the next general election, in which he or she may compete to serve for the remainder of the unexpired term. If the legislature is in session when the appointment is made, the Texas State Senate must confirm the appointee. If the legislature is not in session, the appointee does not require state Senate confirmation.

Qualifications

To serve on either court, a justice or judge must be:

• a U.S. citizen;
• a resident of Texas;
• licensed to practice law in the state;
• between the ages of 35 and 75; and
• a practicing lawyer and/or judge for at least 10 years.

While no judge older than 74 may run for office, sitting judges who turn 75 are permitted to continue serving until their terms expire.

Selection of the chief justice or judge

The chief justice or judge of each court is selected by voters at large. He or she serves in that capacity for a full six-year term.
