Judicial Philosophy

The bill also allows landlords to file evictions in precincts adjacent to those where the property is located. Michael Cody Moore, a former JP in Fort Bend County who now serves as a municipal judge in Needville, said if landlords were allowed to file cases in adjacent precincts, renters in rural Fort Bend county might have to travel more than an hour just to get to court, presenting distinct challenges for low-income Texans who don’t have access to a car. “It does seem to erode the whole point of having a regional people's court,” he said, adding the Button’s bill seemed potentially unconstitutional.
