Legal Experience

268th District Court

Judge Rogers intends to hold full in-person dockets for his court and the associates’ court.

If you have any questions please contact us.

I’ve worked hard these last few years to ensure everyone receives a fair and speedy trial, all while being diagnosed with advanced aggressive cancer.

Since my election, I have presided over 27 sexual assault cases, many of them against very young girls. Those cases were just sitting for years without resolution. Those victims and the defendants have now received justice.

Plans to hold full, in-person dockets for the 268th District Court and its associate court.

Said he has worked to provide fair and speedy trials and resolve long-pending sexual-assault cases.

Judicial Administration

"I ran for judge on the bedrock that judges are there to follow the Constitution of the United States, the Constitution of Texas, and uphold the laws as the legislature creates. Since taking the bench, my court has worked hard every day getting the justice system back to work for victims of serious crime, handling 22 sexual assault cases and over 10 murder trials, along with other significant cases on our docket. I would like everyone to know I will continue to defend the Constitution and your rights, and continue to do the important work of this court."

Commission admonishes Fort Bend district court judge who used profanity in courtroom

Woke politics doesn’t belong in the courtroom. If we simply had more Judges who followed the law and the constitution, we would have a much better, safer country with less crime. It’s time to end the practice of legislating from the bench!

Believes judges should follow the U.S. and Texas constitutions and laws enacted by the legislature, and opposes “legislating from the bench.”

Judicial Philosophy

"While defending the constitutional rights of everyone who steps foot in my courtroom, I, regrettably, used the "F" word during a sidebar exchange. I apologize to the people I serve for that lapse," Rogers said in the statement.

We conclude that in angrily telling the attorneys in open court not to “F with me in my court,” Judge Rogers willfully failed to treat Scott and Elliott with patience, dignity, and courtesy, in his courtroom in violation of Canon 3(B)(4) of the Texas Code of Judicial Conduct.

Opinion Issued May 28, 2025 (Docket No. SCR 25-0001) — In re HONORABLE STEPHEN ROGERS (CJC Nos. 23-0875 & 24-0138)

After considering the pleadings, all of the evidence submitted during the trial, the arguments of counsel, and having reviewed the parties’ pleadings, and pre- and post-trial briefing, we issue a Private Reprimand against Petitioner for failing to treat Scott and Elliott with patience, dignity, and courtesy, in violation of Canon 3(B)(4) of the Texas Code of Judicial Conduct when he used profanity and lost his temper during the July 25th hearing.

We order Judge Rogers to take two additional hours of continuing judicial education with a mentor assigned to him through the Texas Center for the Judiciary. The education shall specifically focus on maintaining a judicial temperament and treating all parties and their attorneys with patience, dignity, and courtesy. It is Judge Rogers’ responsibility to contact the Texas Center for the Judiciary to obtain the name of the assigned mentor and to then schedule and complete the additional education on or before December 31, 2025.
