As a candidate for Judge on the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, Place 9, I offer a unique combination of experience and values to meet the needs and challenges of this critical position. 

Over the last 25 years, my legal practice has included many kinds of criminal cases, including violent felonies. I have litigated cases in various courts, ranging from state district courts to the United States Supreme Court.

My commitment to equal justice before the law is evident in my work with the Travis County District Attorney’s Public Integrity Unit, prosecuting those who abuse the public trust or commit fraud against our government. And I am passionate about my work with the Conviction Integrity Unit seeking to remedy wrongful convictions.

I led the District Attorney’s Appeals Team, and I am board certified in criminal appellate law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. Through the years, I have handled hundreds of appellate cases, cultivating the skills, judgment, and expertise needed to serve on this important court.
