Legal Experience

Said, "As your next Justice of the Peace, I’ll continue to stand with law enforcement by ensuring our court operates efficiently, respects their time, and upholds the rule of law. Public safety doesn’t end in the streets—it extends into the courtroom."

Said, "I delivered the No New Revenue tax rate—lowering taxes without sacrificing city services—because protecting your wallet matters. As Justice of the Peace, I’ll bring that same mindset to the courtroom: running an efficient, respectful, and cost-effective court that serves the people, not bureaucracy."

Said, "I helped bring lean management practices to North Richland Hills to create a smarter, more efficient city—and I’ll bring that same leadership to the Justice of the Peace court. I’ll uphold the standard of delivering timely, fair decisions without delay. Efficiency is respect for the people of Precinct 1."

Said, "Every person deserves to be heard, every case handled with integrity, and every decision made with transparency and accountability."

- Justices of the Peace are elected through partisan, precinct-wide election to four-year terms. 
- Candidates must be a U.S. citizen, at least 18 years old, have been a Texas resident for at least 12 consecutive months, a district resident for at least six consecutive months, and registered to vote in that precinct.
- The annual salary for Justices of the Peace ranges from $19,207 to $151,805 and is by the county's Commissioners Court.
