November 14, 2023 - About a year and a half ago now, several people who I respect came to me and asked me to accept the appointment to the office of Shelby County Attorney. As many of you know, I have been a civil litigator here for over 50 years. In those years there isn't much in a courtroom I haven't done or seen, with the exception of standing up and announcing, "Ready" for the State of Texas. I have now had that experience as well as the experience of attending commissioner's court every week. What I have found is that representing the people is extraordinarily rewarding. Honestly, I did not expect to enjoy the job nearly as much as I have.
Having said that, I am announcing to you that I am running for Shelby County Attorney in the March 2024 primary election on the Republican ticket. I appreciate your consideration and I promise you I will give this job the same attention, integrity, and dedication that I have always given my practice.
